Join me tomorrow at 7 PM at UMass Amherst for a discussion on the nationwide uprising against the US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza, the malign forces seeking to suppress it, and the great unmasking of our institutions

"The paper, which the students wrote as part of an applied lab course, found that costs are diffused across a number of areas and involve things people don’t often consider. Beyond those for individual drivers, road maintenance, snow removal, and policing, there are less-obvious ones, such as those associated with added pollution, value of land set aside for parking lots, lost productivity from sitting in traffic, and various costs associated with injuries and deaths on the road.

Using publicly available data, the authors put the annual public tab at $35.7 billion, which amounts to about $14,000 for every household in the state. Those that do own vehicles pony up an additional $12,000 on average in direct costs."

Hey, we're all glad you're here visiting us! Please leave your frustrations on the other side of the bridge. You can relax and drive like a local -- slow and cool. Let the winding roads beckon you.

Don't ask us for tunnel information. It's for residents only.
