Biden’s “green” Infrastructure Plan is increasing carbon emissions though.

This type of design has many problems. Without utility relocation, the tram gets interrupted whenever there is utility work. And not having a proper foundation under the rails means horrible ride quality and/or trams limited to very slow speeds.

The newer ones have all the modern safety features (crumple zone, bumper, ABS, etc). But of course we aren’t allowed to import the modern ones.

The US has no ped safety rules for the front end of cars/trucks. Europe on the other hand…

There is no American regulation against pop-up headlights.

Even worse:

Fiore, who does not have a law degree, was appointed as a judge in deep-red Nye County in 2022 shortly after she lost her campaign for state treasurer.

As Daisy was laid to rest alongside Kayley in a modest Mennonite churchyard, her father hopes her story sparks reflection — if not on vaccines, then on care, compassion, and the urgent need to protect the vulnerable.

‘She was my little girl,’ he says softly. ‘And they let her down.’

No, you let her down.

In the SF Bay Area, it costs over $1 million just to build one “affordable” housing unit.

Idiocracy

Ukraine has been going after these factories with drones and sabotage. Factory manager can’t protect workers from that.

“You go in, find Putin, bring him out in 24 hours, and you’re a free man.”

“24 hours, huh?”

“You flew the Gullfire over Leningrad. You know how to get in quiet. You’re all I got.”

Nowhere in the US are cars required to use daytime running lights…certainly not in Ohio.

Maybe it’s a curve or a hill, maybe they are approaching an intersection, but flashing lights can be seen from all angles.

Note that this law requires Amish use lights even in daytime, which won’t be visible around a bend or hill at such times. What’s next…telling bikes/peds they also have to go around wearing daytime strobe lights?

Then the DMV better start cracking down on large trucks (F250, etc) as well. NHTSA “safety” standards have had all kinds of loopholes exempting large trucks and SUV from basic safety features including rollover protection, head restraint, and various impact protection systems.

This new policy will definitely get overturned by the Supreme Court. As such, it is a stupid election-year gimmick.

One possible reason is their nationwide Road Safety Strategy program.

Or it could be all those crazy dashcam videos posted to the internet…

Again? When did they give it to them the first time?

When they confirmed Clarence Thomas in 1991.

It is actually much worse than that. The problem they are having is that street-running LRT trains get stuck in traffic, causing bunching and other scheduling issues. The obvious solution is to get cars completely out of the way of the trains. But despite an official “transit first” policy, the SFMTA won’t do that. So instead they will spend >$100 million on a new signal system, which will map train locations in real-time simply to tell dispatchers what they already know – that the trains are stuck in traffic.

In California, local government does not get any revenue from speeding tickets. It is one reason there is so little enforcement of traffic laws.
