Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Literally a joke amount, why even bother. I think 10x that would get the hogs squealing but I don't think that would slow down registrations, they love their trucks too much.
Probably because once a fee is in place, raising it isn't as politically fucked?
it's meant to be completely insignificant both to not raise a fuss from drivers and to not be effective at all
edit: the best liberal way of doing this would be to force drivers to actually face consequences from murdering people. The US is notoriously permissive with vehicular manslaughter charges only making most drivers pay fines, do community service, given probation and/or serve no jail time at all.
With that, vehicles weighing >=4000lbs/1800kg OR engine capacities > 3.0L OR power >250hp should be required to have a minimum $1-2M liability insurance policy. Car registration fees should also scale with these factors like some other countries do.
Best I can do is 25/50/25 for liability
To put it in perspective, even $300 a year would only be like 3-5% of the amortized cost of owning a truck.
