XKCD Isn't Funny

rallying_against_popular_x is a new tag. tag is meant to be for things like clickhole rallying against linkbait crap or people against Youtube prank crap. Or in this case, against xkcd. also usually the rally is against something (too) popular for how it actually is.

There seems to be a hypocrisy with people upset about censorship on behalf of China, but don’t seem all that upset about censorship on behalf of the EU (eg RTBF) or censorship when it supports their politics (eg hate speech)
I don’t support this theoretical move, but asserting Google should pull out/stay out of China and not obey/comply with local laws, and yet argue that the EU local laws should have global reach seems unjustified and unequal respect for sovereignty.
Let’s face it, the core issue here isn’t free speech and censorship, it’s speech you like or censorship you like vs those you don’t.

That ignores the real cost of roads in cities is lost revenue from all that land. Ignoring of course how people would get around the city without roads.
NYC for example has over 6,000 miles of road * a very conservative 60 feet ignoring sidewalks is ~40,000 acres or 20% of the city. Central Park by comparison is only 842 acres. As Property taxes add up to ~55 Billion per year that’s (55/.8*.2) ~= 13.8 billion in lost revenue per year.
There are of course options to build more roads underground, but then they start costing as much as subway systems.
