- Traffic Good, Congestion Pricing Bad [Patreon Preview]May 29, 2025 · 26 minSitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic is my god-given right as an American.
Listen to the full episode on our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/deniersplaybook)
TELL GOV. HOCHUL TO FIGHT FOR CONGESTION PRICING (if you live in New York state): +1 (518) 474-8390 or https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form
SAMPLE SCRIPT: I’m a New York state resident and I am reaching out to urge Gov. Hochul to continue supporting New York City’s Congestion Pricing plan and fight against the federal government’s insane attempts to shut it down. This policy has already decreased traffic congestion, reduced travel times for people of all income brackets traveling into the city, increased business-friendly foot traffic in the city, and raised much needed revenues to improve our public transportation system. We cannot allow the federal government to bully our state into reversing a popular and effective policy, and I ask that you continue doing everything in your power to make sure the policy remains in effect. Thank you.

CORRECTIONS
• This episode mentions lobbying efforts by Southwest Airlines to prevent the construction of high speed rail in the state of Florida. Those documented lobbying efforts, however, related to opposing the construction of high speed rail networks in Texas, rather than Florida (Wanna get away?). Florida’s high speed rail hopes were instead dashed by then-governor, Rick Scott, who in 2011 rejected billions of dollars from the federal government on offer for the development of a high speed rail network. Scott and his wife, as a complete coincidence, would go on to invest some of their personal wealth in a fund with links to privatized high speed rail development in Florida. All aboard!

From the minds that brought you Climate Town, comes… a podcast that's suspiciously similar to Climate Town.
Rollie Williams (Climate Town) and Nicole Conlan (The Daily Show) are two comedians with Master's Degrees in Climate Science & Policy and Urban Planning. But don’t get too excited, because they’re here to examine the pervasive myths and misinformation campaigns that are making it obnoxiously difficult to address the looming climate crisis you've probably heard about.
If you're looking to get your hands (ears) on some of the absolute coldest, hardest, climate changing-est facts to help sift through the noise, then you've come to the right place, brother.
