What do we do when network traffic is overwhelming our systems? We block the source.

“Plate and sticker don’t match” NY registration on windshield (now expired) - no license plates - and NJ plate in the window.
Vehicle has 2 years of similar tickets ($2k all paid). Why can’t we just tow this ghost vehicle?
311-25701821 summons issued.

“Pairing free buses with paid parking says we value people in motion more than cars at rest,” writes Nicolas Rohatyn.
Opinion | The Way to Pay for Free Buses Is to End Free Parking

Extortion is illegal and also the power of the purse rests with Congress - the same Congress needs to start impeaching cabinet members that act this way.
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

Because I don't have a car, I payed an arbitrary 31% surcharge on tolls when I rented a vehicle
I don't mind tolls - but junk fees like this end up encouraging car ownership

On the one hand today’s pair of CitiBike rides marked 86 straight weeks of rides I recorded on Strava, and my 3,000th CitiBike ride.
On the other hand it was nice 42°F when I left and took a hoodie, but an absolute chill with “feels like” 18°F where I was way under dressed for a bike ride

Impeachment Articles against cabinet members are they way to start restoring justice - If there isn't political appetite to impeach trump yet - getting cabinet members to start shaping up can help with that!

Two cruisers made it down 9th Avenue to 46th St. in the bike lane in moments, then stuck in traffic on 46th St. Imagine if there was a bike lane on 46th they could use.

With only *some* bus lanes having automated enforcement, data shows drivers are slowly changing behavior after 1,200,000 summonses for double parking or parking in a bus-only lane.

This is BIG news for JC and proof that advocacy works! I’m thrilled to hear that the Turnpike Authority finally listened to everyone who spoke out against the Turnpike widening. Now we have to keep the pressure on and get more funding for the PATH and NJT
