Disclosure: I donβt know where I sit on this debate as I can see both sidesβ¦BUT, I donβt think a billionaire who personally refuses to allow her own kids to have any access to social media at all, is the right person to be guiding this incredibly complex issue. π€·ββοΈπ

Streets for people are good for business.
Normal people: countryβs in the shitter. So much to fix. What political party will finally have the courage to do the needful
Labour: EXTREMELY LIMITED CAPITAL GAINS TAX
Normal people: no, do the *needful*
Labour: GREENS BAD
Normal people: β¦the needful?
Labour: FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

I live in America, a nation stolen from the indigenous natives, built on the backs of slaves, & made prosperous by the sweat, & blood of immigrants. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." My country is not white. It's not Christian. It's American. It's made up of people from around the globe. Humans aren't illegal. But your dehumanization, & demonization should be.

Why must they be enabled to "recover their costs" (which were in fact paid by the local authorities who built them, before they were stolen)?

On the right is our little brown puppy, minus much of his baby fluff. On the left is a blue-rimmed white dinner plate, with a mound of that fluff.
So much fluff! He looks smaller, but also more grown up.

βIn crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adultsβ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means theyβre more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.β
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.
