Boo this slow town driver

Always seem to find the required number of Democrats willing to cross the aisle to enact punitive legislation.

The Controlled Opposition party is remarkably reliable.

Way, way more.

Ban social media and advertising/marketing. Smart phones are just a small computer.

That sounds like criminal charges should be levied more than just letting the owners off with paying a fine.

“Let them fight”

No reasonable, articulable suspicion of crime? No ID.

Just commenting re: the manufactured shortage of labor. I don’t disagree that nearly all agricultural industries will be affected, but this result seems like the outcome of short-sighted voters, more than anything else.

Upstate NY and pretty much everywhere outside of developed metropolitan areas have gone MAGA and have been voting Republican against their own interests for years.

This is what they voted for- to shoot themselves in the foot.

Or using their child as their proxy of emotional manipulation.

Oh please. Boomers as a cohort have earned the enmity. They stole the economic welfare of their children and children’s children while hoarding resources and lavishing themselves at every turn. Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have all been sacrificed on the altar of Boomer prosperity. All the while, they made sure that the ladders they used to gain a foothold in upward mobility were immediately pulled up afterwards.

The last 40 years of decline is directly attributable to the choices and votes of Boomers, who, because of their enormous population size, have had an outsized influence on all aspects of American development.

So many Boomers have proven incapable of remote Mgmt. If they don’t have staff in line-of-sight, they always seem to default to “they’re not working hard,” regardless of actual productivity.

Boomers need to retire already and remove themselves from their perches at the top of corporate ladders.

Society is a hammer and Time, its anvil.

History will remember John Roberts’ SCOTUS as a cornerstone in the USA’s decline.

Hmm. Well, I can explain it to you, but I can’t comprehend it for you.

You believe that you are right, and can’t, or won’t consider that you could be applying an overly rigid perspective to a problem that requires a great deal of flexibility. Moreover, you seem fixated on punishing those who “break rules.” That’s simply not a very effective way to affect change across human society.

Best of luck to you.

The “normalization of speeding” is because human beings didn’t evolve to travel at the speeds available to anyone with a driver’s license. In other words, you’re asking for a revision of human nature, which is simply not a practical solution. What would be practical is a system of public transportation that makes individual cars moot, or at least less of an intrinsic necessity, but in the US, there are moneyed interests who will fanatically push back on any alternate options. Car makers, insurance companies, bars and restaurants, and even the “healthcare” industry all profit from people having to own a car and use said car to navigate living in this country. You’d need to provide a broad and low-cost alternative, while dismantling those entrenched interests to make a new paradigm stick.

So, in the meantime, it sounds like your driving habits are stick-in-the-mud and you likely create impediments to the flow of traffic, as others adapt around your unwillingness to modify behaviors to the situation. The fact that you see yourself as some kind of shining example of driving purity and hope that other drivers get into an accident as some weird punitive recourse is really troubling. Maybe you should talk to a professional about your moralistic judgementalism and anger issues.

Nah. Drive by the flow of traffic.

Unobservant people who are “following the rule” in dynamic situations usually create more danger than people adapting to the situation.

Especially when they get all the way in the left lane to drive 65mph while others are passing them on the right.
