The Pankian Metaphor 3089

I think I understand what you're talking about but I'll forget it; my brains are oozing to the floor already.

This question comes from reading this report I'm mentioned... It is in the best interests to have a stable society, not a constrained one. People, who get cabin fever, act out. This usually results in some degree of infrastructure destruction. I am still having trouble accepting that only trucking benefits from these roads. IOW, they aren't the only ones who should pay costs. However, it is difficult to produce a metric such as cabin-fever-mile.

I understand this....I think.

I'm questioning the premise that says a piece of infrastructure, public infrastructure, can be buttigned to one single business sector. Isn't the reason a piece is public is because 1. it is too expensive for a single enbreasty to fund and 2. it has to benefit more than one sector in order for the politics to provide the funding.

What do they pay? It seems to me they do have a tax or a fee based on their axle-mile.

The local consumers.

Is (what we're seeing here) this a side effect of transforming the local politics to a national politics?

Gulp. I have no idea what I just said.
