Uh...cagiebros..what is this..?https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/nyregion/nyc-congestion-pricing-ruling.htmlA federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration had unlawfully tried to end congestion pricing, which went into effect last year for drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street.Credit...Karsten Moran for The New York TimesStefanos ChenWinnie HuBy Stefanos Chen and Winnie HuMarch 3, 2026A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the federal government’s attempt to end New York’s congestion pricing toll was illegal, handing a major victory to the state in its defense of the first-in-the-nation traffic reduction plan, which the Trump administration had tried for more than a year to kill.While other legal challenges remain, the 149-page decision by Judge Lewis J. Liman of Federal District Court in Manhattan ends, for now, a heated battle between Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has become a staunch defender of the program, and the White House, which has claimed, without offering evidence, that it would harm the region’s economy.The ruling comes months after Judge Liman granted the toll program temporary protection from threats issued by the transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, who had warned that the federal government would withhold approval and funding from a range of highway and transit projects in New York if congestion pricing was not canceled.Judge Liman, who had signaled skepticism toward the federal government’s argument that it could unilaterally reverse approval for the toll, said the government’s steps to kill congestion pricing and its subsequent threats to the state’s transportation budget were impermissible.“It would be difficult to imagine a more definitive repudiation of contractual obligations by any party to any form of agreement than the repudiation and rescission set forth in the Feb. 19 letter,” he wrote on Tuesday, referring to the first demands issued by the federal government last year
IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO OWN A CAR IN NYC YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY CONGESTION TAX
>>1494388This is antisemitic! Everyone knows only rich Jews can afford to commute and park in manhattan
What new abomination will urban elites think of next?!?
To be fair New York City should be walled up and made into a prison. Perhaps a feature will be made of it one day.
>>1494398You are the goyim, they do not want you in their city. The propaganda machine works so well on you retarded MAGAtards.
>>1494400I don't care what pet names they have for me and I wouldn't visit their shitty city even if they paid me 10K. I'd need at least a million tax free and a team of security to lay one foot there.
Did u know in Paris, you're only allowed to drive your car either M-W-F or T-Th-Sa? Literally you can only drive half the time otherwise you get a ticket
>>1494397 #>>1494398 #>NOOOO STOP OWNING YOUR OWN ROADS THEN EVERYONE DOES IT AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY IMPLODES AND THE FREE MARKET WINS MAKE THIS ILLEGAL NOW!!!!No.
No one looks at this objectively. On one hand, it's ridiculous as fuck that NY and NYC already have high taxes for roads and road maintenance, which already runs a deficit because the city and state have borrowed it all for other retarded slush funds. On the other hand, you have to deal with the congestion somehow. Is a regressive tax the correct way to do it?
>>1494571Anything else that you think NY can improve? Write em down and throw them straight in the trash, once you fix your shithole country you may have an opinion worth listening to
>>1494571Don't be stupid we are just going to start using these https://alef.aero/First models are rolling off the lines as we speak. Can't wait to see which billionaire takes the first L
.>>1494571We should just le local communities charge for roads because it belongs to them and it's their place and decides how successful the town is.If it kills the auto industry, then it killed the car industry. There will be other modes of transportations.
>>1494577>Who cares about the auto industryIt would kill your town. NYC has plenty of reason to pay to visit it. No one cares that the GW bridge costs 30$ to get across they still have to be in Manhattan by noon. No one has to be anywhere in a small town except the small town residents and business people, so anyone who was considering coming into your toll system will just replace your town with a different destination. The auto industry will be just fine your Main St. wont
>>1494571>borrowedStole it and laundered it through "pensions" like they do in IL.
>>1494397I don't know, but they're going to tax you for it while complaining about taxing imported goods.Seriously, the mental gymnastics involved in being a Democrat must be exhausting. Either that or they don't even bother to think and just recite mantras like trained dogs.
>>1494596you're projecting again, esl shill
>>1494603Projecting? lol sure.
>>1494603Look, their village may be an undesirable, poorly-run shithole, but they know for sure how to manage NYCDon't forget, these are the same retards who loudly shrieked that NYC would loose all its rich residents after Mamdani was elected, and look how completely wrong they were about that
>>1494603you're projecting again, esl shill
>>1494613No, the rich will pass whatever pain Mamdani inflicts onto their consumers.
>>1494657Hasn't happened yet. Because you fail to understand a tax exclusively on the rich doesn't result in a universal price increase like a tax on everyone because they can't make their prices higher without risking smaller competitors being able to keep their own lower. That's the difference between a wealth tax and tariffs that you retards fail to grasp.
>>1494661lol this faggot thinks competition possible.LMAO. Holy shit.>Just start your own fucking Walmartlel like I have billions of dollars and a team of lawyers.
>>1494665lol this faggot thinks competition impossible.LMAO. Holy shit.>Don't start a business if it can't immediately be WalmartYou'll never be anything but a wagie.
>>1494671You do know if I could compete with Walmart to make money I would be doing it.>Faggot thinks the US has a free market.Weirdo.
>>1494703Dumbass you can't compete with Walmart in year 1. Or even year 10. But if you want to be Somebody, youd better start working for yourself, or be impressive enough to start working for money.Otherwise, you will languish.
>>1494721Kmart and Sears couldn't compete what makes you think I (You) have a chance/
>>1494722>Complacent retailers dodo'd>Therefore I'll never make any money by creating wealthStay broke lmao
The u.s. doesn't have states, they have fiefdoms ruled by either communists or religious zealots.. .
>>1494721I used to work for massage envy. Now I work for myself.I don't work nearly as much as I used to or would like, but I get to keep 100% of the money I make. I have 29 5-star reviews and a rep as the best therapist in the region. I can make 65-70k a year working an hour every three days.I will NEVER be able to compete with a massive franchise that has national brand recognition and marketing, they do tons more business than I do with the shitty, severely exploited lmt's they have. If I could get the volume of customers I had under them, I'd be wealthy. People who go to them are poorly served, and happier to pay more for a higher quality service when they find me.That's kind of what Walmart is doing. Except my overhead is barely anything. Competing with Walmart would mean a massive investment in inventory, with no garuntee of a return.That you think it's possible to compete with a corporate giant that has stacked the deck against you, that subsidizes it's workforce with our tax dollars thru welfare, is really cute. Very telling that you have no fucking clue how the world works.
>>1494809I'm a white male and you couldn't afford me, I hear your ma does it for a nickel though.

>>1494815Jannie had to mop up your mess because you were getting shat on too hard that's wild
>>1494817You're right. I'm so cucked by all this money and free time. It's terrible choosing when I want to work, rubbing oil s into beautiful women most days. Damn, a sad, bitter little brainlet mislabeled me, my whole fucking life is ruined, I might as well commit seppuku.
>>1494819>Rubbing oil into beautiful women>Then not fucking themCuck confirmed
