My favorite as well, but, seeing this de elopement, I’ll pass.
It is interesting to see how “EZ-Pay” automated toll payments have evolved up here in the NYC area. At this point, tolls are usually not posted either on the road or via resources like Google Maps. On a lot of roads, a driver doesn’t really know when or if tolling has kicked in. If you don’t have “EZ-Pay” registered with NY State, rather than another state, you may pay almost twice as much to go over a bridge, or whatever. And of course if you don’t have EZ-Pay at all, you may pay nearly twice as much as that, with a bill sent to by mail—and nonpayment threatening your registration.
In essence, they are headed to an “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” posture for driving on roads. Uber in some ways is already there. And now, it is inching in to restaurants? The likely longer-term direction there, as “deposit tokens” become the new social credit score/fascist model of totalitarianism, is for custom pricing based on who you are, not just the time of day you are ordering a burger.
