This community shares news and articles from a wide range of political perspectives—socialist, liberal, conservative, independent, libertarian, Green Party, Pirate Party, and more.

The goal isn’t to push one side but to give people a fuller picture of what's going on in the world.

You’ll find everything from mainstream coverage to underground analysis, letting you compare narratives, spot bias, and dig deeper into the facts.

It’s a place for curious thinkers, not echo chambers. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere off the map entirely, the idea is to expose yourself to other viewpoints and sharpen your own thinking.

Civil discussion is encouraged, and the focus stays on good information and mutual respect—not name-calling or tribal politics.

If people didn't bend over back when Return to Office was forced on us, there would be far less need for a congestion charge!

It's science

Assuming it means congestion pricing is a poor tax. The ruling class mandating return to office forces people to commute when they otherwise wouldn't need to. Congestion pricing forces those workers to either pay in wages for the toll or pay in time (at least in my city) by making the commute longer.

The pricing isn't enough to impact the rich and it's too much for those forced to commute. Forcing them to pay in time to take public transit reduces the congestion (and cost) for those who can afford the toll. At best it deters someone from making a trip that is able to do so at a better time.

Minimizing the need to live in or commute to dense population centers would do more for congestion than congestion pricing.
