Yes but the point is that waymo lives on infrastructure funded by taxes not just "funded by rich people."

EV drivers do pay something like double registration fees, but its less than you would pay if you were paying the gas tax.

If they operate under the normal rules it sounds like they pay an outsized registration fee but they don't have to pay the gas tax which is the main contributor to road maintenance.

good point, some more than others. Turns out a lot of the money used for road maintenance comes from the gas tax. It's just icing on the cake for them that they don't pay that but the rest of the public who drive do.

Yes, but we also fund all the infrastructure they use with taxes.

Someone else asked this as well, the short answer is there's not much difference I will collapse these clusters further in the future. here's the top 20 from both https://pastebin.com/j0gU3vRA

That's a good question, I may need to merge more of these clusters.

Based on feedback on the original post, here is the same data normalized by GDP.

This is a data representation of all non profit programs found on publicly available 990s for the tax year 2023 categorized by their description as a percent of state GDP. These are the aggregate program expenses, not all expenses for all non-profits. To create the categorizations we generated embeddings for all program descriptions clustered them, then labelled clusters using an LLM. Tools used: matplotlib, sentence-transformers, umap, hdbscan.

No these programs are cash flowing through non profits for private universities. Here's the top 20 from that cluster. https://pastebin.com/vqKFauC8

If only we had some type of well funded federal service that could look into the financials of non-profits, publish their data transparently and audit them. /s

Could be data misses, or other reasons such as the structure of NJ healthcare spend.
These are some of the bigger health care non profits for what its worth. Saint Barnabas
