You get $60, and you also get to be stuck in traffic for another 10 minutes or more a day! You'll spend hundreds more a year in gas and insurance! You'll get to breathe in more emissions and lose months to years of your life from direct and indirect environmental effects! It's simply all worth it for $60.

Or put concisely:
"You get $60, but you lose more than $500 and have to be stuck in traffic for hours!"
Is $60 supposed to be a big incentive or something? That's nothing in this economy.
If you're going to try and bribe voters then at least make it worth their time.
It's amazing how cheaply votes can be bought.
In Ontario it took $200 of bribes from Doug, Quebec shouldn’t shortchange themselves…

That licence plate is cringetastic
It's like a sponsor code. "Use code GMON60 to get $60 off at checkout!"
In french, it literally translates to "I have my $60"
Pathetic. Even by snake oil salesman standards.
Isn’t that literally what Cave Johnson payed the homeless people to partake in his tests in early Aperture?
I swear we hear him in Portal 2 say something like, “A whole $60, now don’t go spending it all on… Caroline what do these people buy? Tattered hats? Beard dirt?”
oooooh. A whole $60 dollars. Im rich.
Esti de cave.
