suddenoutbreak.bsky.social @suddenoutbreak.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I'm discouraged that this won't happen. Repairing damage takes far more work than causing it. And, in this case, a lot of damage was done by breaking laws, rules, and norms that nobody would/could enforce. The next admin won't have that grace extended, and are unlikely to break the rules anyway. 010

suddenoutbreak.bsky.social @suddenoutbreak.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm not complaining - this seems proportionate in Illinois. State gas tax is about 50¢/gallon. Obviously, basing it on mileage and vehicle weight would help, but then would have to further account for diving out-of-state, etc. The more "fair" it gets, the more Orwellian it gets. 000
suddenoutbreak.bsky.social @suddenoutbreak.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Regular state registration/plate is $171/yr. Fee is $200. If you get the "Electric" plate, it's $371/yr as the fee is baked in. 100
suddenoutbreak.bsky.social @suddenoutbreak.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My own state (IL) already annually charges an extra $200 for the potentially lost gas taxes. I did the math once, and it's approximately equal to the state gas taxes from driving an ICE vehicle 10k miles/yr. 100

suddenoutbreak.bsky.social @suddenoutbreak.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Oh, for sure.
