Those are really awful. The problem with doing the mileage one is that you don't know where they're driving. If they're driving all over rural areas, you're penalizing then when they're not even causing any congestion

If you just make toll roads it's kind of the same thing but at least all parties benefit from it

https://www.inforum.com/news/nation/959642-Brother-of-confessed-Parkland-school-shooter-Im-stuck-between-loving-him-and-hating-him-because-of-what-he-did

Look at this, it's the adoptive brother of the parkland shooter.
-----------
Someone had called the cops when they saw Zach riding his skateboard through the parking lot of Stoneman Douglas High School.

"I just wanted to kinda take it all in," Zach told the deputies, but they arrested him anyway, for trespassing on school grounds.

His bond was set at $25, the local standard for a second-degree misdemeanor. That ---ht, someone paid the fee on Zach's behalf. But the Broward County Sheriff's Department didn't release him.

The next day, Zach went before a judge with three sheriff's deputies standing behind him. He got the feeling they thought he was dangerous. Then Zach heard the prosecutor say "he has all the same flags present as his brother." She referenced his juvenile record - he had ridden his skateboard on a police car and shoplifted from Target. She said he posed a threat of "intimidation and danger" to the Stoneman Douglas victims.

The judge upped his bond to $500,000.

Zach remained in custody for 10 days - most of which was spent in a psychiatric facility followed by a solitary cell where he was placed on suicide watch, despite Zach's insistence that he was not suicidal.

"He was scared, but he was in no way a danger to himself or others," said Joseph Kimok, who was serving as Zach's assigned defense attorney at the time.

----------
someone else's crimes should not affect how you are treated;
they likely committed him because that makes him a prohibited person under federal law and he can never own guns again, maybe that's just me being conspiratorial but I believe it more than because they genuinely thought he was suicidal.

When we talk about red flags, what usually doesn't get discussed is how many people have some of those indicators, and never do anything

Identity politics is getting out of hand. How can you identify yourself as president of Venezuela?

There are petitions circulating throughout southern/central Illinois to have counties band together and secede from northern Illinois.

My brother said how is it an emergency if youre giving it 3 weeks

It's not and he's being blocked out.
Emergency powers might be the only way he can get a seat at the table to get funding for a barrier or more likely border security. Another shutdown would just be another easy victory for the Dems. I'm expecting the president to shift his position since he took a heavy hit to his base.
