  • I heard that some countries charge a vehicle tax based on the weight of the vehicle. Some based on the number of cylinders.

    One of the problems with removing the fuel tax is that affluent people will be able to avoid the additional registration tax by registering their vehicle in another state, such as where their summer home is. Having a gas tax allows taxes to go where the fuel is purchased and indirectly where the vehicle is using the roads. This doesn’t work for electric vehicles.

    I’m surprised no politician suggested toll booths all over.


  • If you have the view that everyone is replaceable, it all comes into focus. How much would it cost to interview everyone in a department for value, then lay off 10%? How much would it cost to lay off the 10% most expensive employees? Executives will pick the 2nd because in this economy, you can just open the front door and dozens of candidates will flock in, competing with each other for the lowest salary. Win-win (not for you).

    In an employee’s economy, firing a person then hiring them back is more expensive than in an employer’s economy.
