Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

#Trump’s threat that the #US could charge #fees on ships transiting through the #StraitOfHormuz breaks with his own admin’s stance. Last month, Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said, “It’s an #InternationalWaterway,” referring to the strait. “No country is allowed to charge #tolls or fees on an international waterway. That’s existing #InternationalLaw.”

I visited Singapore to try out the country’s new and groundbreaking congestion pricing tech, which runs on satellite data collected from cars. (no gantries, transponders, or cameras)
Tl;DR: Satellite-based tolls are an amazing tool to conquer gridlock. But yeesh, privacy issues are real.
