The federal gas tax is 18 cents a gallon. Some want to raise it
to 27 cents a gallon and then adjust it for inflation from then
on.
People are driving less. I've blogged about this before. Electric cars
will not appear until we tax them in such a way as to pay for road and
transportation infrastructure. I foresee tolls. Lots of tolls.
In an interview with an American journalist in China for the
Olympics, I found out that the 'freedom' of the press really is being
limited. There was mention of journalists being thrown to the ground
and China was called a police state more than once. A list was given of
things that just might happen during the games. It sounded like there
is a school of thought that all the quiet that has been going on will
end when people have the chance to disrupt the games for their cause. I
can just feel the tension.
Got some web stuff done today at work. Got some release stuff
done too. Worked on a static vs shared library issue that went no
where. Well, I learned a bit. More tomorrow.
I'm watching season ten of Top Gear again. Just because I can. It
was one of the better seasons. I like the endurance race and the trek
across the spine of Africa. Good old Oliver.
