My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

...Simple case of correcting market failure. At present, the costs of these things are public. I can't see the problem with making them private. (Take the noise and fumes of a road, for example: it's not the driver who bears the cost - it's everyone and noone. Charging corrects for that to some extent.)
Roads are a resource, and they're underpriced at the moment - which is why they're congested and in terrible condition. The answer is to charge a realistic price. People'd use them less - but that's no bad thing.
Add to that the fact that much rubbish could be recycled or composted, it makes sense to have an incentive beyond a warm feeling for doing so.
