CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SH*T?!!!!

If it does become law, they'll definitely write in a provision regarding the disabling of such devices. They're not that stupid - a family of 4 and one vehicle only traveling 5 miles a week sends up red flags.

Here's why it won't pass:
1 - Any company that involves road travel - UPS, service industries, you name it - will go into bankruptcy or have to raise their rates to astronomical prices. Or the government will have to cut them a deal, which makes no sense anyway since the larger trucks do more harm than any sedan on road conditions.
2 - Any company in a major city without rail transportation will likely turn to home-based telecommuting to ease cost. They'll no longer need those mega-offices...downtowns will fail. As will all the support that goes with it - architecture/design/engineering firms fall, cleaning services, office supply and temp agencies, etc. You will kill any revitalization efforts underway. If you turn to the opposite direction - have people move closer to the cities - then you're stuck with wastelands of tract homes.
3 - State and national parks will collapse. High gas prices are already taking a toll....imagine what doubling that cost would do to summer travel.

I'm sure if I could think of a billion more. Like I said, it's not going to happen. There are too many contingencies.
