I pay cause i can afford to but its not some deep socialist position lol
I'm not sure if that makes sense though. I'm sure there's a lot of things you can afford to pay for but don't. Like a 30 dollar pizza or a 15 dollar coffee, for example
I meant that when i was a broke student, i didn't, cause i would have to eat ramen more frequently.
Well, the difference is i get a service, not a luxury one (which in that case would be like uber black or whatever). the driver works to drive the train, people serve the train at night, clean tracks, clean platforms, people build the train, its an embodiment of labor. Now, would be nicer if didn't pay for some porkies salaries as well, but last i checked transport company here is oscillating at 2-3 % percent profitability.
