Leaving does more than staying

The government doesn't need you to agree with them, but they do need your tax dollars. Well educated, high earners leaving does a lot. Being the recipient of those people is a large part of the US's dominance over the past 70 years

That's TRUYH social. It's a Twitter clone except with a red theme instead of blue

Everything except the code is stolen from Tritter. The code was stolen from Mastadon

In the US, deaths deaths cars are treated less harshly than deaths involving firearms. One common example used to teach about jury biases is deaths due to drunk driving. Many jury members can empathize with driving drunk because many Americans have driven after drinking, even if they were under the legal limit

IDK if you should be calling other people ignorant if you didn't even know that much

I was curious what it would be like. Looks like a pretty normal fundraiser site. Probably wasn't worth getting put on another NSA list tho

It'll be really telling if Silwa drops out to support Cuomo

It worked for Wal-Mart

Which isn't really a sustainable business model, but it's quite successful

The most painful part is even if the budget is increased, we won't be able to get this talent back for decades

It's very specialized skills that can only built up after decades at NASA. Once it's gone, it's gone for good

$1 million to save all those lives is way too much. That's almost 0.00025% of an Elon Musk

America, as a country, would sooner sacrifice a million children than tax a billionaire to support safety nets like flood warning systems

Is it a net positive? I'd worry it'll be used to paint future restrictions as being arbitrary or caprecious

Are you usually this dishonest, or do you have a particular bias against bikes? I dislike liars, and you are a liar. The law you cited explicitly contradicts your strawman

Here is an excerpt of the law you did not read:

If a stop is not required for safety, the pedestrian or person operating a low-speed conveyance shall slow to a reasonable speed and yield the right-of-way to any traffic or pedestrian in or approaching the intersection. After the pedestrian or person operating a low-speed conveyance has slowed to a reasonable speed and yielded the right-of-way if required, the pedestrian or person operating a low-speed conveyance may cautiously make a turn or proceed through the intersection without stopping.

Chicago is pretty different to most of the US. There is actual reliable public transit. The average resident isn't doing nearly the driving of the average American

Vehicle fatalities are generally far higher than gun fatalities in the US. For decades it was the #1 cause of death under 45, only recently being dethroned to poisonings thanks to fentanyl

For Chicago, this is brought down by very low car ownership rate (by US standards), and a high gun fatality rate (including suicides by gun)

Still surprising guns have kept up though
