ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[ijmorlan]

We laughed at the Soviet Union for their bread lines, but we can't even acknowledge we've created the exact same scenario here.

Incredibly on point. My favourite bit is how so-called “libertarians” tend to be against public transit and in favour of road transportation. In other words, they are de facto socialists, which is almost the opposite of what the minimal-government libertarianism is supposed to be about.

To be fair, many libertarians have put some thought into how private ownership of roads would work. But at present, our road network is definitely socialized, and almost the exact opposite of a capitalist free-enterprise system.
