Insanely Awe-dical

Jonas: my registration for seattle is $820
Jonas: and $600 of it is the freaking monorail freaking tax
Jonas: ugh
Jonas: so expensive
Me: wtf
Me: registration for your car?
Jonas: yeah
Me: wtf
Jonas: to register it in WA
Me: a tax on your car for public transportation?
Me: lol
Me: ironic
Jonas: yeah
Me: wow
Jonas: when i heard that i was like
Jonas: fuck the monorail
Me: i guess "those who are more fortunate and can travel on their own should pay for those less fortunate who travel by mass"
Me: a sort of socialist idea
Jonas: i travel using the bus!!
Jonas: i don't drive to work
Me: what?
Jonas: yeah
Me: well at least you're using it
Me: well you're not using the monorail
Jonas: nope
Me: wow
Jonas: it doesn't affect me

Interesting idea -- It is similar to how the working population pays for the elderly population's Social Security, but at least everyone will eventually get it (theoretically). In this scenario, my brother will probably never need to use the monorail on a constant basis.
