It's both. First, it was 'dangerous'. Now they're crying the attendants would be out of work.
This same go-round has been going on about the Garden State Parkway, a toll road. For years, it's been attempted to get rid of the tolls. Then they cry, 'but how will the toll collectors earn a living?' Uh...doing something else? We don't need tolls just to keep collectors on a payroll, anymore than we need attendants to pump our gas to keep them working.
Welcome to my world.....
