A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Another good reason to oppose toll roads
Mix in PayPass glitches, mistakes and misreads, the temptation to hike fees at a higher rate on automated roads, surcharges for things like paper statements, and toll road private companies, or governments, cutting back on human toll booth operators, thereby increasing traffic jams unless you break down and use a PayPassand you have a pain in the butt. Throw in the fact that the biggest private toll road operators, like Cintra and Macquarie, are global in reach, have deep pockets and are all too ready to lobby state representatives, and you have private-sector greed on top of that pain in the butt.
