    Senators Propose a Tax Holiday Tech Companies Would Love

    Please address my other points about tolls being better than gas taxes. Teslas pay no gas taxes, yet drive the roads all the same. Higher MPG cars pay less and less tax at the pump, but are still wearing down roads. Taxing at the pump is not an effective method for taxing usage.

    Senators Propose a Tax Holiday Tech Companies Would Love

    The Houston/Pittsburgh example was just a hypothetical. Pittsburgh was on 60 Minutes recently as an example for why we need to raise the federal gas tax. I don't want them to pay for my roads any more than I want to pay for their's. Eliminate the gas taxes and let the market find a way to repair...

    Senators Propose a Tax Holiday Tech Companies Would Love

    The answer is toll roads. Things wrong with gas taxes: 1) MPG is constantly getting better. Revenue from gas tax will fall over time and you'll have to tax elsewhere. 2) Drivers of electric cars are allowed to drive on the roads but essentially pay next to nothing for their upkeep. 3)...

    HBO's Streaming Service May Cost Almost 2X as Much as Netflix

    GoT isn't even that good. The Wire, Deadwood, Veep, Newsroom, Boardwalk Empire, True Detective, Real Sports, etc. There is a glut of great content in their catalog that's not available even in the new Amazon deal.

    Tesla Will 'Open-Source' All Its Patents

    The US imports 40% of its oil, and it goes down every year. Of that percentage, only 40% of that comes from OPEC. 28% from Canada. Secondly, I believe you are mistaken in your cost of extraction estimate. Fracking, oil sands, offshore, etc, are much more expensive than conventional vertical...

    Tesla Will 'Open-Source' All Its Patents

    Oil companies are also natural gas companies. Coal only has a slight lead on natural gas, and it is shrinking, especially now that there is a long term CO2 emission limit.

    Verizon Slaps Netflix With Cease And Desist Letter

    Netflix will lose that game. At the end of the day, consumers want the shows at a good speed; they don't want to be in the middle of a pissing contest. Netflix has competitors in that market, whereas Verizon likely has no competitor in a given market.

    4K Is Officially the Next Dumb Format War

    Blu-ray pricing and the player needing network connectivity so that it can receive updates and the fact that the players need updates have been instrumental in ensuring that streaming is all the rage. HDDVD would have better market saturation than bluray at this point, guaranteed.

    10% Of Americans Don’t Carry Cash Anymore

    That's absolutely right. Spontaneous purchases at stores go through the roof on plastic compared to cash. That's part of the reason why I don't pity stores having to pay swipe fees. Consumers using cards spend more, and the swipe fee is already priced into their shelf price.
