I’m just trying to help you out with your bad methodology. Fine, put your fingers in your ears and I’m happy for this discussion to be over. You won’t hear more from me.

No, you are still thinking about it wrong. Example: An American drives 10 miles to the store and has a 1 in 20 chance of dying. A German drives 2 miles to the store and has a 1 in 100 chance of dying. With your stat, both are equally safe, which is nonsense. More driving = more danger.

But if Americans drive more, that in and of itself is NOT safer. Part of the reason the US is not safe is the fact that people drive everywhere. You can’t separate the two. Just like you can’t separate the number of guns and gun violence, you can’t separate the ubiquity of cars and road violence.

Actually, no. Per miles driven is NOT a relevant metric. Americans drive a SHIT TON of miles and generate a SHiT TON of road deaths per person. That’s precisely the problem. That’s like saying Americans have a reasonable amount of gun deaths per bullets fired. It’s a bad metric.

Maybe. But Germany still far, far better than the US for road safety.

Three speeding tickets and your license should be revoked and car impounded.

Über comfortable with them, why do you ask?

I’d give up Florida in a heartbeat :)

Greenhouse Gaslighting?

It’s almost as if an empty slogan with no political spine to enforce real change doesn’t have an impact. Shocking!

Kershbaum is a despicable human being. She also ripped up the Arizona Ave protected bike lanes to please one of the administration’s developer buddies. So much corruption and evil, and it starts at the top.

It’s not an impossible situation. Refuse illegal and immoral orders. It’s quite simple, actually.

And crime! Americans “feel” like it keeps going up, though it’s been decreasing for many decades (with a slight bump post the heights of the pandemic). And they typically report their personal feeling of safety much higher “elsewhere.”

the SEC should have a law that just says any CEO who uses the term "infinite money glitch" just has to go straight to prison, right away

Good take = Lack of accesses an important issue, and one should work towards inclusion and equity to make a bike bus accessible for as many people as possible.

Bad take = Bike buses do more harm than good (which is absurdity inwas responding to)

Haha. Did you describe something as seriously goofy? That might have done it.

Wow, horrible take.
