I agree with every point you made, and obviously this is better than having no cap at all, but this is exactly what makes the argument a false dichotomy, which the government is doing more than you were. Any positives are only relative to the single invented alternative, not any of the better solutions.

The simple fact is that public services like public transport, the NHS, postal service etc should not need to be profitable. They should never be expected to support themselves financially and should be funded by taxation on those who can most afford, not increasing the cost for use by those that most require its services.

Public services will continue to crack and fail until we have a government that understands this.

I get your frustration, but it is really important to keep spelling it out. I find it very frustrating to be on the receiving and of lines like I'm tired of explaining it to you people when I am earnestly engaging in a conversation for the first time, so I think it's best to give people the benefit of the doubt that maybe they really don't know, especially on forums where people other than those commenting will read it also.

Because Harris is open to ceasefire pressure and Trump want's Israel to 'Finish the job'.

One's hands aren't morally clean if you don't vote and Trump wins. Not voting is functionally equivalent to voting for whoever wins, and if he does win with a low turnout then those who didn't vote are responsible for whatever happens.

They could have renewed it at £2 and still increased the funding without taking it from people who rely on public transport.

No false dichotomies please.

The cap has been increased by ~~150~~ 50% from £2 to £3.

Please under no circumstances do trains.

If the immediate danger is the car, couldn't they shoot the tires instead of the driver? I don't understand how you can claim to not have intended to kill a person whom you aimed a firearm at and then pulled the trigger.

The first line of that article is

Without citing a source, Channel 12 reports...

Please try harder. There are people dying because of misinformation.

We were told he was fortified in a tunnel network surrounded by bodyguards and hostages as human shields, like some terrorist mastermind.

He is killed running alone from one bombed out house to another, by a soldier that didn't even recognize him.

Not saying he shouldn't have been killed, but it really shows the false pretenses under which this 'war' is being carried out.

Single point of failure for all my usernames and passwords? No thanks

They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.
