  • Nailed it.

  • You are welcome to modify the title to make it more accurate and less exonerative if you' like.

  • You're gunna hate to learn about how we got the 5 day work week.

  • proceeds to be completely ignored and ineffective

  • Just Lemmy things ⛏️

  • Bingo. There aren't simply a handful of uniquely shitty people who just happen to be uber rich and when they're gone all will be fixed. When our economic and political systems enable and encourage the existence of such people, another one will always fill the void until we reform or replace the root cause.

  • Is wealth a euphemism for piss?

  • ask why I purchased the truck

    Why did you purchase the truck?

  • It's the law where I live too, but I have never seen it enforced or even heard of it being enforced before until reading your comment.

  • I wouldn't even call it an experiment since it has been successfully implemented in London, Singapore (since 1975!), San Diego, Milan, Stockholm, and other cities.

  • People from the UK are welcome here.

  • How often do you see drivers roll stop signs or rush amber lights? When's the last time you drove at or below the speed limit for an entire trip? I constantly hear drivers complaining about cyclists who pose no danger to drivers, meanwhile the drivers continue to exceed the speed limit, roll stop signs, and be one of the leading causes of death in this country despite having fully dedicated infrastructure everywhere.

  • Where I live, drivers continue to use the bike lane to turn right and for parking despite having a dedicated roadway. It kills and injures multiple people every year. The point being there are people who incorrectly use the existing infrastructure regardless of their mode of transport.

    The difference is that bike routes in cities are incomplete and often have unsafe, pothole-riddled gutters with a painted line next to it as an excuse for infrastructure. People prioritise their safety even if that means not using a poorly designed bike lane.

  • Most people cannot afford it and we'd have to bulldoze tons of space to accommodate the parking.

    However for those who enjoy racing as a hobby, I 100% agree that it's best to go to a track instead of endangering those around you and causing noise pollution.

  • Kei cars have been banned in Massachusetts, Georgia, Maine and New York with restrictions in Alabama and Arkansas.

  • Mobility is just as important for young people. The difference is that cars are much less affordable for young people who are choosing better alternatives such as transit and bikes.
