Inventory taxes are often a big part of this. When a state imposes inventory taxes, merchandise is warehoused in buildings in adjacent states that don't have inventory taxes. Result is longer commutes for warehouse workers, more freight trucks on highways, more diesel consumption, more death.

Agreed. An Irish pub owner said he's looking forward to autonomous vehicles so his customers can get home safely at low cost. It's a start. Doesn't protect them from liver rot & brain rot though. Autonomous mobility scooters are deployed in airports. Autonomous weatherproof mobility scooters next.

Online gaming consumes a massive amount of bandwidth. Denying that is cope. Mass immigration drives increased internet bandwidth demand. I support rational immigration. Educational games are great. Migrants need education to qualify for the best jobs. Data centers are needed for modern healthcare

When an 89-year-old relative got a pacemaker, the surgeon suggested he should go outside & do moderate work such as mowing lawns. He's following surgeon's advice. I mowed lawns part-time as a teen. I prefer to cycle on protected networks for exercise & fun, let a shared autonomous mower do lawns.

There are also physical aspects to violent behavior. Kind of an emotional epilepsy. Poor impulse control caused by lead and mercury pollution, worsened by people punching each other in the head, reckless driving, etc. www.who.int/news-room/fa... www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3d...

Speed cameras save lives by getting reckless drivers off the road. Data centers save lives too by reducing the need to drive. By ordering groceries to be delivered instead of driving to pick them up, for example. Especially for elderly drivers. Or tired drivers of any age. Also telemedicine & AI.

European & Asian stats are more credible on safety of autonomous vehicles. American stats are badly distorted by political campaign contributions.

Protected cycle lanes that are wide enough to accommodate bikes two abreast are also wide enough for child trailers, cargo trikes, cargo quads, ambulances, and weatherproof velomobiles.

Politicians who didn't build protected cycling networks or control vicious dogs were villains. Bus driver could have recorded the near miss then reported it to his union & management if he supported protected cycling networks for his kids, himself & the public. Some bus drivers are also cyclists.

Much of this is due to skyrocketing long-distance trucking costs, including spoilage en-route. Local greenhouses that used to grow tomatoes now grow cannabis. More local greenhouses are needed everywhere to help stabilize fresh food prices. There are many economical alternatives to beef.

Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.

More from Volgograd,

Modern-day harm reduction has been shaped by Black women throughout history who improve the lives & safety of Black communities and people who use drugs (PWUD). The world of harm reduction wouldn’t be the same without the leadership, commitment & compassion of these incredible harm reductionists.

How governments work: Mexico: “Everything is fine, democracy is strong.” USA: “Everything is under control.” Different podiums. Same circus.

One thing I got to say about people telling Jorge R. Gutierrez that they're 'disappointed' in him:

A GODDAMN WORD FROM KENNY!! 👊🏼💥 🎥: 2rawtooreal2 . . . “The Black community does not have to stand in solidarity with anyone who made a choice to sacrifice us”
