“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath
Some costs aren’t costs.

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

I came across this & just could'nt believe my eyes, When It comes to stupidity, SLAB voters top the lot. This is exactly the level of IQ we are dealing with here in Scotland.
And what makes it worse is that the guy genuinely believes that his vote is one of protest.
I really despair, I really do.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

DEMENTED. Reporter: Greenlanders have made it clear they don't want to be part of the US. Trump: "I haven't talked to them. When I do, I'm sure they'll be thrilled." If that's really the case then why are "make America go away' hats so popular?
