Either way, someone has to pay to keep I80 open,

I thought that that was supposed to be what the dollar or two a gallon in
gas taxes was to pay for. You drive, you pay. You ride a bicycle, you
don't pay. It's pretty simple - maybe too simple....

You keep not getting it. People buy goods transported on I80, right?
Does that mean that they themselves have to drive on it? They benefit
from a shared piece of infrastructure that they may never themselves
directly use.

And that cost of transportation is reflected in the sales price, is it
not ??
