Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

Some of the biggest "winners" of congestion pricing are drivers, who enjoy much faster commutes because there is less congestion. Part of the reason these schemes become popular after being implemented is many drivers realize paying the fee is a great exchange for less traffic!
Every policy has winners and losers. The goal of good policy is to maximize the winners while minimizing the losers. Congestion pricing does this remarkably well a) given the stats on who drives into Manhattan and b) how it offers remedies such as tax credits to low-income drivers.
It sounds like a very good thing but wouldn't the analysis be more fair if inconvenience and cost to some was included? Don't know how you measure it but it should definitely be included. Virtually nothing is 100% win-win.

Tbh the most realistic interpretation of the commercial is that the people using the AI have never seen a book IRL
Also, this thing doesn't look like a book AT ALL. The only way that even sort of makes sense is if it were open and face down, and a museum would never display a book that way.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.
