this isn't Israel and Gaza. no one is protecting the RSF. there is simply no power that has both the means and will to intervene.

In grad school, in a cost benefits class, had to read a paper on a meta analysis of various car-related safety improvements. Turns out, best way to lower number of fatal car accidents is to set a highway speed limit of 55 and enforce it.

Speed limits are arbitrarily high.
They’re set based on how fast people go, not based on speeds that lower fatalities.

But have you considered how little my life would be affected if I got to my destination 2 minutes later than I would have if I sped the whole way?

seriously though, there is very clearly pent up demand for rail options and every reason to build out as much new rail as possible.

President Trump is preparing to order his administration to dramatically loosen restrictions on MARIJUANA.
The order would reclassify cannabis from Schedule I — the same level as heroin — to Schedule III — the same level as Tylenol and codeine and some steroids.

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.
They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.
They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

Yes, a much better outcome would have been to keep the government shut down indefinitely while planes fell out of the sky and the economy began to crash, that certainly is a simply scenario that it would be easy to manage
