Are you kidding me?

President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday ordered a halt to New York City’s congestion pricing system, which thins traffic and funds mass transit by imposing high tolls on drivers entering some parts of Manhattan.

Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most passenger cars entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. In its early days, transit officials say the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.

Yes! Trum..err Elon is coming for the DMV! Finally! Maybe it will be an app that sends pictures of me in the shower to the people who make our license plates in prison.

Will they be firing all cops, mailmen and firefighters?

Just the mailmen and firefighters. Without police, who would be around to ~~beat up the minorities and protesters~~ enforce the law?
