Outside academia, “congestion pricing” sounds like a term coined by the idea’s opponents, because it combines words for 2 unpleasant things, like “death taxes.” The better terms “decongestion pricing” or “congestion relief zone” describe what the price buys for those who pay it.

I know Biden is quite unpopular, but my honest view: the man weaponized being exceptionally boring to pass the most progressive set of policies a USA administration has seen in many decades. He got some things wrong, but he also got nowhere near the credit he deserved for what he accomplished.
It’s not Tim Ryan’s fault for not knowing Biden already did this in February.
The core problem is Biden did so much but was unable to sell any of it to a population largely unable or unwilling to hear it.
