Why do some public highways have tolls on them?

Doesn't that mean the tax payers are charged twice to use the roads?


Answer
Not only are they charged twice but they add immensely to the pollution from an automobile. An automobile will only pollute about 10% of what it does when it is running under load with the RPM over 1500. Under !500 RPM it becomes a monster polluter. So when you see these toll booths with backed up cars you can see all the polluting that is going on. Plus the extra gas for acceleration. Plus the brake shoes spewing dust particles in the air. Those toll bridges and roads usually are a great source of income for the governments and they don't like give it up. How come there is no toll for the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado bypassing Loveland pass but the Holland tunnel is still collecting after all these years?
So in reality we not only pay for it twice but many many times over. To get across the Washington Bridge costs $10 now. How many cars a day go across that in the toll direction? If 100,000 a day go across it that is 1 million a day. It cost $60 million dollars to build it originally. That is only two months worth.
So how much of that $10 toll goes into line the pockets of the politicians and union thugs. I know many other bridges that were built good enough that they don't need that much 'maintenance'.
So you see it is not only a method of taxation it causes pollution.

What type of shoes should I get if it's for the gym?

I want a separate pair for GYM only. I spent like loads of time at the gym.

P.S How much money should I ask my parents for, for an outfit just for the gym?

I want like Nice shoes, socks, shorts (Tights underneath shorts), Shirt and headband. lol I am a really fashionable dude I like to look pretty even though I am at the gym.



Answer
You will not need high tech shoes unless you will be using the treadmill a lot. A $40 to $60 pair will be more than enough. Within a given brand, most shoes at or below that price point are comparable to each other in quality and performance. So your decision would then be based on the degree of arch support you need and how pretty it looks to you. Most types of sneakers will work. It is amusing to see what some people choose to use for their workout footwear.

If you will be living on the treadmill, it may be worth it to spend some money on decent running shoes. I don't mean casual treadmill use, I'm talking 5+ mile sessions, several times a week; for anything less, you could still get away with the cheaper sneakers. For running shoes, anything below $90 or so is considered low tech. Sorry, that's just the nature of the business. Asics, Mizuno, and Saucony are good brands, but be prepared to spend well over a hundred dollars; some approach $200.

Regarding your outfit, you can expect to pay anywhere from $40 to $80, depending on what you get and where you shop. If you pay full retail for a brand like Under Armour, you can expect to pay up to $100 for the items you've listed.

By the way, since you mentioned your concern about being fashionable, I would recommend going without the headband.
