I don't understand why presidential candidates love talking about things that would take an act of congress. Unless congress gets filled with more progressives, this isn't going to happen, even other Dems will oppose it.

The way that autism is used as an insult says otherwise.

I hear people say the world is flat. Never should have been in Vietnam in the first place.

It's really pathetic how many of them lack any critical thinking skills. They're so enfranchised by the whole thing that they would rather lose friends and family over admitting a pedophile isn't fit to lead.

Corporations using open source projects to maximize profits is very common.

My biggest issue with the whole thing is how cars don't have the same limitations. If both were given restrictions to speed and such I could see this as safety focused as opposed to shock at a new thing vs indifference with old thing.

Younger individuals should also be more likely to walk-it-off and go unreported.

We obtained data on micromobility vehicle injuries from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), a comprehensive database managed by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.15 The NEISS collates injury data associated with consumer products from approximately 100 emergency departments (EDs) across the US and its territories.

While I don't agree with regulating the hell out of ebikes simply because people are reckless I also know how I used to fall off a bike and never see a doctor in my younger years while I would likely need to see one now.

Also helps to be the only real option for electric "cars" and not suvs/trucks. For things like the EV6 your only real competitor is Tesla and people hate Musk.

This is some peak capitalist realism. Never once did I say that communism was the solution, I provided no solutions at all actually, and I simply pointed out the flaws in capitalism but you know so little about economic systems to go to communism.

Can't do any more mental gymnastics to defend capitalism so you go to fear of another system not even discussed. You and I are not immune to propaganda and if you believe in democracy then why would your workplace not be democratic? The manufacturers never would have voted to move their jobs to China during the late 20th century. The capitalists did it. Walmart was a small family business and now it's the largest employer in the US and half of it is owned by people born into a specific family like a monarchy.

I get that you support Keynesian economics but this was before globalism and you can't rely on a government to fight capitalism in places it doesn't govern.

It's a bunch of anti-union, billionaire/corporate toe suckers cosplaying as Lincoln as if they would do anything progressive.

Welfare for people in need has to be as difficult and painful as possible. Corporate handouts don't need any of that. /s
