Yes it is. And those who didn’t make payments or weren’t able to during the pause just extended their debt slavery by 3 years.

It’s outrageous that loans that cannot be discharged have such high interest rates.

It’s outrageous that the something that benefits us all must be taken on by those willing to step up and learn.

Definitely feels like both sides of the Adblock battle are going to get more sophisticated.

At this scale? I can’t personally had a problem blocking their ads. Yet…

No, speed bumps were not installed.

That’s a fair point. However, what is the circumstance that leads to a pedestrian crash? Is it something road design might have resolved such as speed? Is it just due to other factors such as alcohol or distracted driving?

Add to this: ALL vehicles for sale should include as standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Those systems work to reduce pedestrian deaths. Here is some information from IIHS. If IIHS required this to get a high vehicle safety rating the OEMS would respond within 2-3 model years.

I struggle to see how roads designed correctly always help. I will admit that I am not a road designer. In my area we recently redid an area to be a downtown thing with a 25 mph limit. The speed limit before and after the 1/2 mile stretch is 40MPH. I think the design follows items 1, 2, and 3 of this list very well. However, so much traffic fails to even slow down a bit.

It will take a major social campaign to get this to change.
