.... What?

Going "the speed limit" is in fact not always the safest option. Where I live EVERYONE is going at least 10 over on the freeways, and I mean everyone. If you are going the speed limit here, you are adding danger to those around you because now you're an obstacle. Now if this were something they could implement on all cars at once it might make sense, but it would only affect new vehicles.

Sorry to hear that, but good for you for making that decision.

October 7th, 1999. Was a miserable date. Early snow. Sucked.

I like the sentiment, but I think it's been peddled so long that I think it would take too much time to dispel. It's one of those things that I feel was said so many times over the years that even people with more sense started to believe it.

I think they're meeting people where they are, in hopes to pull some people from the other side. Because obviously the people who understand that the whole thing is BS are already voting for Harris because the alternative is insane.

For real, it's the musk's that are the dangerous ones.

Yeah, especially since the majority of imprisoned people tend to be non-white (this is an issue with our justice system, I'm absolutely not saying non-whites do more crime, only they're convicted far more often due to a racist system. A great many are innocent.) this will turn into 1 to 1 a facsimile of slavery from yesteryear. Bunch of white landowners leasing cheap labor (suspiciously predominantly non-white) from people who have no other legal options. Gross.

Right, it's especially rich because that the demographic that's overwhelmingly "Christian" despite consistently voting against policies that align with "Christ's" teachings.

Usually bs like "good Christian values", which are ultimately so anti-christian that it's almost humorous.

For guns, I've recently run into a point of view that I think is valid: the above structure (insurance/license) disproportionately favors the wealthy. Ultimately it just adds a barrier for the poor.

I fully understand that the stats show that gun control laws DO indeed decrease GUN violence. However violent crime in general doesn't really change. The ONLY statistically effective way that guarantees a reduction of violence on the whole is lifting people out of poverty. The less poor we have, the less violent crime. Social programs can lift us out of so many issues.

Unfortunately not everyone

I'd like someone to ask them their thoughts on the recent evidence that Israel was selling the weapons we've given them to Russia. So in a way, we're supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine at the same time we're supporting a genocide.
