A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
Sound efficient?

L’âge d’or de Trump!
Le parti de la liberté individuelle et de l’économie demande au peuple de changer son alimentation, et que la baisse de prix, ce sera parce qu’il mangera moins.
Fallait y penser…
J’ai l’eau à la bouche juste à penser à la « one other thing », miam.

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Now Trump EPA head, Lee Zeldin, enters the scene with rank dishonesty & theatrical indignation to dispute the NY Times' correct, accurate reporting.
But I've read the EPA smoking gun document, I'm a 30+-year clean air lawyer, I understand its meaning better than Zeldin, & I have the receipts. 1/

The paragraph just before this one goes particularly hard: “Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.”

Pourquoi cibler uniquement Montreal? Laval, Rive-Sud, couronne nord, Québec, etc. aussi. Et que ces endroits développent les TC en parallèle, sans en faire un prérequis

Le péage urbain est une des politiques de transport les plus efficaces de tous les temps. C'est pourquoi Montréal doit imposer un péage urbain sur les boulevards les plus congestionnés.
fantastic article with data showing how congestion pricing is one of the most effective transportation policies ever.
as a day 1 congestion pricing supporter it has been so satisfying to see the program be so successful

Taking VIA Rail train to Prince Rupert, BC, I got a surprise when I stopped at the North Pacific Cannery. In the museum, I got to go within the Lionel ‘O’ gauge layout model built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad Society. Loved the fact that full-sized freights pass by outside! www.highspeed.blog

“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.
Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
