> Why is congestion pricing okay when applying the same philosophy to other matters of public good isn't?
Good question. Will we see sayings like "Save Road Neutrality"? Net neutrality is something that prevents ISPs from practicing a form of congestion pricing (zero rating, charge more for certain packets, etc...), yet the death of net neutrality has been likened to the death of the internet.
One of things I struggle with is aligning my belief system consistently across the board. It definitely leads to some challenging internal conversations.
