While we’re at it yearly registration really offers no value at all to the individual. I can even understand an initial registering when you take possession of the car but yearly? Really? It’s completely useless other than a revenue scheme.

Delaware had a decent system. You just go to the state inspection center, drive through a very simple visual and emissions inspection and you were on your way.

I don't like state inspections and I'd like to see them vanish. Having said that, the issue is minor compared to the others we face. Ignore this one for now and focus on the many minor licensing requirements we have through the state. Focus on sentencing reform. Focus on things that our opponents can't point out as reasons we are nutcases.

as I get my inspection today & that will cost around $60-$70 & that’s after finding a garage who won’t try to take advantage. I agree that the state police eat the revenue. I just got done traveling to Massachusetts & back. Crossing through PA, there were speed traps what seemed like every few feet & so many state police pulling ppl over along the highway. Yet once I left the state, I didn’t see a single cop/trap in the remaining 4 states. Then it’s sad that I had to stop in NYC to get gas & it was still a lot cheaper than the gas station near my house & I live in the middle of nowhere

Mississippi and Louisiana have shit roads.

IMO the autoshops love the extra work and see it as an opportunity to get customers

Would we see a jump in insurance rates? Or does the fact that we have state inspections not effect insurance rates?

Love seeing all those Ohio cars with no rocker panels or fenders left just rolling up the road.

Maybe if PA. Took care of their roads?

Only time I'm fine with it is if they decide to let businesses compete for best price and it means proof of inspection equals lower insurance rates. Insurers would then be able to offer better deals. Heck, i'd even take a mandatory inspection every time i renew my license but every 12 months is overkill. At least this isn't Virginia with draconian speeding laws. (not far behind)

Our roads aren't safe. Our roads are complete crap. We have the second highest gas tax in the nation for the sole purpose of fixing our roads. Where did that gas tax go to this year? Not the roads. Governor Tom Wolf sent it to the state police so they can fine us for not having our cars deemed road worthy for roads that aren't car worthy.

It also helps keep unsafe vehicles off the road.. the roads are shit anyway around hrte

At the very least it’s should only be for cars 5 years and older. Newer cars should be exempt. Any time you take your car in for oil change most places check the tires brakes and other stuff anyway.

Car inspections are the biggest rip off ever. If a cop in Michigan or Wisconsin sees you with a vehicle that looked unsafe to drive, you got pulled over. That's it. No forking over $100 or more each year for inspection. And there are no more accidents caused by unsafe vehicles than there are here.

The fact that you can receive fines for violations and not recieve any type of legal help, but can serve jail time for those fines if you cannot afford them is soooooo unconstitutional. And this is Pennsylvania ffs. You have to have a license to work, shop, see a doctor.

We don’t need emission tests either!

Inspections are a scam. There are a few honest mechanics. But, most either don't care or will rake you over the coals.....

Also, PA already allows classic cars to bypass inspections if you have classic/historical/hot rod plates.

Inspections, emissions, can’t have the slightest little rust spot, now let’s tact on the fact every single ticket/citation pertaining to roads/vehicles is supposed to go to the roads. Alll duis in PA the fines/costs everything is also supposed to go to the roads. PA has the second highest dui rate in the country (last time I checked) and my last one cost me almost 15,000. So dui money alone should be enough to fix the roads. So where is all of our fucking money going?

My understanding is that in some states (Ohio) for example allows cops to do roadside safety inspections.

It's true. I came from a green state that got rid of their yearly inspections in the 90's.

Just remove the fees and fines

IMO inspections should stay. I've seen some extremely dangerous looking rust buckets driving down the road in other states that don't have inspections. Registration however can go. That serves no real purpose.

Shouldn't have pay shit till they actually fix the roads and not just the highways

This is a movement I can get behind!!

"Libertarians are not properly part of the GOP coalition, if indeed we ever were. There is no libertarianism in the soul of the Trumpian Republican Party, and Republican partisans today are not libertarians." Indeed.

Libertarian party has become a clown show. Good luck with boot on head guy and Bernie outcasts for the next school board election this party will struggle with

To all the people trying to draw comparison here, "Well, Democrats are worse because X," you completely miss the point. You are either Libertarian, Statist, or Communist. If you support the Republican or Democrat parties, YOU ARE NOT A LIBERTARIAN.

Im pretty sure the communists pretending to be socialist that also pretend to be Democrats, will easily make any of trump's interference seem like a wonderful dream. I watch how they target, harrass, falsely accuse. And do anything for power. So, even with all of trump's defects of character, you should be terrified of what will become of your children and grandchildren if the Republic falls to these commie criminals

There was very little libertarian spirit in the GOP even before Trump. I don’t like him and I didn’t vote for him but let’s not be asses and act like things suddenly changed.

Well, who is a viable candidate for the libertarian party? If there isn't one with a chance to win, you better pay attention. Because these Democrats are marxist communists.

So you're saying the Libertarian Party is still a thing?

Trump this Biden that shut the hell up or do something... be part of the solution not the problem

Well the other side is straight up socialist

His embrace of MMT is more concerning

This is why nobody pays attention to Libertarians............

It has to be said 🤷‍♂️

Okay then...

Yeah god forbid he puts money into the military... not like thats protecting us from anyone. Just shut up already

The Dems drift further left off the face of the planet and straight through a portal out of reality. The Repubs drift further up and left while dropping every "hard earned dollar" on new "totally not" socialist programs. The LP drifts further left and further into pussy pacifism. I'm still sitting here at lower right corner wondering who the hell is going to represent me.

As it stands now. The left as a hole is a bigger threat to American rights and freedoms then whatever the Republicans have been doing. The insurrectionist have proven this the last few months. Modern progressive liberalism is a mental illness that must be stopped.

I have a genuine question that I hope one of you can answer. The argument that I hear most often against Jo is congress won’t do shit to work with her and therefore she wouldn’t get much of anything done even if she did win... that voting down the ladder would never work and we have to start with congress... Thoughts?

I've hated the republicans for a long time. (other side of the coin) But if Trump gets long time kleptocrat republicans like Romney to hate him, he's got my vote. Trump is the real chance to stick it to the two party system.

Good to feel independent but what happens if you’re without disability and Social Security benefits for your family and relative.

A vote against him is a vote for Communism. Change my mind.

Rioters don't care about the justice system; no justice reform is going to make smashing and stealing people's stuff ok. The protesters who the rioters are using as cover may care about the justice system, but they don't necessarily understand the problems or the solutions. The organizers of the protests benefit from the conflict, so they are less motivated to focus on specific problems or specific solutions, as those would reduce the conflict. Rioters should be dissuaded from rioting. Protest organizers seem to tend towards being bad actors, too, but it is less obvious, so they are harder to counter.

I'll go with 1, but with the stipulation that it's done by armed citizens

I don't think that rioters destroying property is a libertarian value. the justice system would prosecute the individuals violating rights and property etc...

1 and 3. Maybe a little of 2.

The outrage mob is never satisfied.

I’m always surprised at how many boot lickers show up on the Libertarian page 🧐

Her running mate is a Cohen? Even better 👎🏻

Shoot them? Are Libertarians really as bad as Liberals?

Nah. Just shoot them. It's quicker, cheaper, and it takes out the trash.
