Interested in the intersection of politics and media. Vengeance Democrat. GenX. Mostly learning and hitting that like button. I block a lot. No time to argue with misinformed attention-seekers, grifters, or their white knights
OMG total anarchy 😆

Sometimes as I drive past a group of young people I just kinda look at them and think to myself, yeah you'll see. You'll ALL see! One day *this* will be you. Bwuahahahahaaa!!! 😆

A left winger can get published in most mainstream media outlets as long as they come to the exact same anti-lib conclusions as most of the management and columnists

We used to call El Camino “the home of the red light” 😆🚦

Re: cameras, there is good data, including a recent study out this week, that does show while there is initial revenue generation it does go down over time because people speed less. So yes, there is an initial surge in revenue, but that falls as behavior changes.
When cameras are installed, they issue many violations in the first month, followed by a steep decline in the second month. This suggests that the cameras effectively deter speeding by changing underlying driver behavior rather than relying on sustained revenue extraction.

Indeed. I can bike there from the canal trail all the way from the east end of the city! 😃 🚴

Clearly the worst part is having to be on El Camino to get there

I can imagine a lot of parking lot fights there

After flipping a district that’s been red since the 2010 midterms, in her 1st term Rep Underwood was the primary sponsor of 4 bills that became law with a GOP POTUS & a GOP-majority Senate, but rarely receives recognition or media attention compared to ineffective legislators like Bernie & AOC.

I like this theory 😏

This one has one way in and one way out. Narrow entry lane that forces you to drive past shoppers as they exit the store. And rarely has an open spot.

Good to know because I’m also blocked and couldn’t think of a reason since I don’t really engage that much and we’re seemingly aligned on politics. People! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t think it’s weird at all. Posting and posturing is their main concern. Coalition building is slow and boring. It requires compromise, which is verboten. Voting is a chore they’d prefer to avoid.

We're swimming in surveillance that offers little or no benefit to citizens, yet somehow cameras mounted on public roadways, designed specifically to capture speeders, is a bridge too far.
