Is there an entity out there trying to solve the design issue around cars? Like, why is it possible to do the erratic behavior you describe when you leave room for the car ahead of you? How can we change the design of either cars or roads t

I think you make a good point here that a lot of people miss: we have things like cheap groceries because as a society we prey on vulnerable people. When do we accept that the reason we get to have avacados and limes year round everywhere i

Wow, think about what it takes to be an elected official (Sheriff) and not only perjure, lie, and coerce witnesses, but be outed for all of those crimes, and then continue to run for election and continue your tenure for decades. How does s

I don't consider myself a tolerant person, especially when it comes to obtuseness. You are engaging in a bad faith argument by purposefully being obtuse. If you're acting in good faith, maybe consider your news bubble? Try places
