Jeff Grippe is most likely engaged in manual labor and has no need of
showers. If he can't learn to post properly, how could he ever do
anything
that required any brains. No, Jeff Grippe is most likely engaged in sewer
work in the City of New York. Sewers are very important of course, but I
would think such work falls into the category of unskilled labor....

Prevailing wage for a plumber on a public works project in New York
City is $47.91/hour. I believe, even after adjusting for cost of living
(all else being equal), a person earning that wage could afford to
spend much more on recumbent bicycles and trikes than a community
college librarian in Minnesota (assuming no significant unearned
income).

Plumbers are more or less skilled labor. I picture Jeff Grippe as being
unskilled labor since he is too stupid to figure out how to post correctly.
Surely he is the man with the hoe or the pitchfork.

The way plumbers, electricians and other service people charge, I wish I had
gone into the lowly trades myself instead of wasting my life pursuing the
arts and sciences and becoming a Great Saint. Some of these damn kids who
mow lawns earn more than I ever did.

Now that you mention it, I don't seem to recall ever seeing a loan shark in
a business suit.

(just kidding of course)

Why should the government tax its citizens to put a shower in in a private
business for your benefit?

No, I will stick to making fun of your belief that dead people need
money. 😉

Are you advocating a poll tax?

The government should provide heavy tax incentives to provide secure
human powered vehicle (HPV) parking and showers for human powered
commuters. The lost revenue could be made up by taxing automotive
parking spaces, or better yet, and increased inheritance tax. I am sure
$kip would approve of the latter. 😉

business for your benefit?

I would do much less damage to the "commons" if it were reasonable and
practical to ride a recumbent bicycle or trike to work. If the
government subsidizes motorized transport, why shouldn't do the same
for human powered transport?
