We should simply make those who support things be personally financially liable for the costs and waste. It’s easy to be flippant about waste when it’s other people’s money you’re wasting.
Similarly, I don't "support" the hospitals, right up until I get cancer and spend over a month in-patient receiving some very expensive therapies.
And I say that as a cyclist, but one that can see past the self-serving rationalization and manipulative nature of the freeloader argument.
And that doesn’t even address the deeply authoritarian and evil core of the argument of “well, I determine what’s best for you so I will force it on you against your will for your own good, because what I want/enjoy conveniently coincides with what is best for you”. It’s tyranny and a purely evil mindset.
