Seinfeld: The Congestion Pricing Episode

Jerry uses congestion pricing as an excuse to stop seeing a woman who lives downtown. She stages a protest in the street in front of City Hall to get him back.

George refuses to pay the $9 and drives along a labyrinthine path to avoid the cameras, using side streets and driving through parking garages. It costs him $47.

Forced to use the subway, Elaine discovers J. Peterman living on the F train and attempts to bring him back topside.

Kramer and Newman use a mail truck to evade the toll. Soon, people who don’t want to pay the toll ask them for rides, and they oblige… for a fee. Jerry points out they’ve just created Bus 2.0.
Kramer: This isn’t about making money. This is the resistance, Jerry!”

Elaine convinces Peterman to come to the surface. They spot George coming out of a parking garage and ask him for a ride home. George agrees but refuses to pay the $9 — they’re going HIS way.

Jerry is going to take the subway to a show, but Kramer convinces him that Bus 2.0 will be faster — “Now that the roads are clear, we can really open that baby up.” Jerry is running late so he agrees.

They speed downtown to Jerry’s show downtown. Suddenly, Jerry’s ex-girlfriend leaps into the street holding a “down with congestion pricing!” sign. Kramer swerves to avoid her and plows right into George’s car, destroying both vehicles.

Jerry’s girlfriend runs over to help. She tears up and thanks Jerry for coming to see her.

having returned to the workplace and being around the general public recently has shown me that there are a vast number of people who are completely unaware of the problems with using generative AI, or even the fact that there are problems with it

Six years after his arrest and death, Jeffrey Epstein still commands headlines and drives heated political discourse. That has somewhat complicated the day-to-day lives of other guys named Jeffrey Epstein:

The late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was far from the only person with that name — meet the men who are stuck sharing it with him.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
