Gosh, this is a perfect example. It's cheap because it's subsidized by people that don't use it. We all have to pay into it, for the 3-5% of workers that actually use it. I think the overall # is somewhere around 15%. So 100% of people pay for something that a small % use. Similar to ACA. Pretty terrible investment in the real world, but a worthy investment in the eyes of Democrats/socialists. Roughly 6% of people utilize ACA plans, and we all pay the taxes, fees, compliance. Great for 6% of people, not great for everyone else.

Look at California's high speed rail. Everyone pays into it, almost no one will use it, if its ever completed. Colorado has a front range passenger rail on the ballot this fall. I have yet to find anyone that wants it. And the people that do want it think people who will never use if should have to pay for it. Socialism sucks, it's the race to zero, and will make things worse for 90% of people while it helps the tiny minority.

Private transportation is more expensive because it's only paid for by the people that use it, and because they still have to abide by all the regulations that the govt puts in place.

Who pays for the medical care that is provided by ERs and hospitals to those who have no money or coverage? You believe it goes poof? You are in the business you know that there is no free ride for us payers, whether thru taxes or higher medical or insurance bills. All of us who have insurance or pay cash for medical care are paying for it. You fixate on trains, how about buses, subways, light rail the el?

This is why I laugh when you talk about me golfing 5-10 times a year. Guess it's not a problem anymore.

My ideas are reasonable. If we don't make reasonable changes, you will deal with more people like this that think we should get rid of them altogether.

Arizona courses are built different. Minimal fairways, OOB is desert.

Unlike Colorado, Arizona is a golf destination. The main issue is the peak season also has the least daylight and there are often freeze stops in the AM.

You are sinking deeper and deeper into the RW morass of stupidity and ignorance and appear to be day drinking.

RW, RW, blah, blah, blah. Common sense of community escapes left wing morons such as yourself.

I’m not fixated. I just broke down why people don’t like this stuff. It benefits a very small # of people, similar to ACA. You’re the one that brought up public transportation.

It was an easy comparison. It's really expensive (you focus on the fare and forget about all the taxes and fees that paid for it in the first place) and benefits a small % of people. Just like ACA.

Estimates show about 3% of workers are using any form of public transportation post pandemic. Again, we all pay for it. Less than 5% use it.

They are fairly similar in that regard. Let's see what AI says....

"
Colorado is an elite, world-class golf destination, celebrated for its dramatic mountain landscapes, pristine summer climate, and the unique physics of high-altitude play. Because the air is thinner at higher elevations, golf balls face less aerodynamic drag and travel up to 10% further, giving players an automatic boost in distance. The state hosts 236 courses spanning alpine cliffs, red rock canyons, and sprawling sand dunes, making it a highly versatile vacation spot for golfers of all skill levels."

Here is my post, exactly: " NJSP now require a College Degree or long work history."

Here are the ACADEMIC requirements for admission as a Candidate to become a New Jersey State Trooper, from the Official NJSP Application site; for the current or next class appointed.

Must have a College Degree by August, 2026, from an accredited College/University.
OR
60 Credits, Associate Degree, plus 24 months job history or Military.
OR
30 Credits, plus 24 months Active Duty Military.
OR
80 Credits, plus your Degree by August, 2027.

Age: 21 to 35. So around 10 % either job or military, if no degree, as I posted.

Goodbye.

I live on a golf course that is watered with recycled water. Funny, I have only golfed 6 holes of the course. I just like the neighborhood and club social life. I donated my clubs to Goodwill in 2019 when I sold my business. Some people like it, but I never fell in love with the sport.

My new build in here is coming along nicely with a 51,000 gallon rainwater capture system. Water is scarce down here and I appreciate that. There are those that talk a good game and those that do. For example, if I felt I should be taxed more, I would pay extra every year.

Marco was the mastermind behind getting Bolsonaro out of Brazil. It’s interesting the number of idiots who love Marco, but hate his boss…the guy who has empowered him to be a great SOS.

I don’t listen to AI. Colorado has some nice courses, no doubt. But Colorado is best known for great skiing, fantastic outdoor activities, and alpine peaks.

Best golf states? Florida, California, Arizona, North Carolina, and Ill never forget a Swede marveling at the number of courses in Chicago as the plane landed at ORD.

What a stupid last sentence. Our tax rates aren’t too low because they are hypothetically too low, but because the continuation of the spending in excess of tax collections will have massive consequences to the country and its taxpayers, far worse than higher taxes.

You support a candidate who doesn’t seem to understand that this is screwing us all. Fiscal sanity will require spending cuts and tax increases. I much prefer more cuts and less taxes, but I do not deny fiscal reality. It’s coming for us all.

I don’t want a higher taxes, I just understand they are unavoidable.

I think Marco has steered his boss in the right direction. Note how he’s absent on Ukraine, he knows how dumb the Admin’s position is (tho correctly he’s happy to help negotiate a reasoned outcome, alas Russia won’t).

I can't believe you are so stupid as to that his little tidbits are giving you any picture. Rural turnout in Texas is lagging, urban turnout is barely trailing 2024.

That's phenomenal for Dems.

ACA really benefits people under the subsidy cliff. My wife and I paid $36,000 for insurance this year and it increases to $48,000 next year. If an older married couple is making a combined $90,000 ACA insurance is unaffordable.

As always the Jogger can't read with any degree of certainty.

Just read and try to comprehend my postings, directly from the NJSP selections site.

The word "must" is descriptive along with "or", as posted.

Yes, as I said earlier, about 6% of the country has benefitted under ACA. For everyone else, it contributed to making things more expensive.

I’m OK at math. 6% feels not so great.
