<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I drive to NYC a lot and I, without fail, always complain about the shitty roads. You play $12 to cross the bridge just to get into the city. Then, you face the insufferable roads that destroy your suspension and aggravate you to no end - let's not forget about traffic and congestion in general. They've raised the prices to an obscene amount, and we just sit here and accept it. The tolls to cross to the different boroughs are at a disgusting $6.50 *each way* .

There is constant construction and I feel like I don't see tangible results. If one thing gets 'fixed', another thing will almost immediately need repair.

What can we actually do to have a huge impact on matters like marijuana legalization or how corrupt and terrible the police and judicial system is? 

Gas prices are out of control and we still go to the gas stations and fill up. We can do nothing about it, or can we?
<bot>: I'm sick of the higher-ups raising prices while we sit here and take it. What can we realistically do?
