If you’re that worried about it being a tax on poor people, advocate for free, high quality public transit. The way car centric places are designed right now basically means car ownership is the tax you pay to participate in society unless you want a significantly slower and scheduled experience trying to use transit.
How fast your car can go and how busy the road is irrelevant. Fact is you were exceeding the limit. Yes our road design sucks. It costs millions to rehabilitate just 1 road while it costs thousands to operate the cameras. People are literally dying due to excessive speeds on our roadways so I’ll take the not perfect solution of speed enforcement over nothing.
None of these numbers really matter unless we also consider the percentage of those jobs that are full time vs part time. The wages of those jobs should also be considered if we really want to be doing fair comparisons.
So really, they only added maybe 40,000 jobs and are asking people to share.
The grit exfoliates and makes your skin softer by removing dead skin. Definitely luxurious before soaps were more common.
Values won’t drop because for the most part we aren’t destroying existing housing but demand is still increasing. Toronto is still growing we are just expected to rent out individual rooms and basements instead of building new, real apartments because somebody who bought 40 years ago is worried a couple of sixplexs will ruin the “character” of neighborhood.
But if we actually start increasing housing supply the real estate investors won’t make as much money
No, but these beads pretty much go straight into the local waterways where they can very quickly break down into micro plastics. All so a human didn’t have to use a tool like a brush or a loofa to scrub themselves. Convenience at any cost.
The pumice action definitely helps but I’m pretty sure gojo is also full of added chemicals to help the soap lift oils more effectively.
I would much rather use that bar of soap than the mysterious liquid gels full of dyes and other junk. If natural tones are somehow gross and icky but a blood red goo that faintly smells of petro chemicals is fine then maybe we really are doomed as a species.
You go back a century or so, that bar of soap would likely have been considered a luxury product.
You grabbed the exact quote that really stuck out to me as well. It’s almost as if they can’t fathom someone relying on a bicycle to same extent they rely on their car.
My local police does have a dive team, or at least access to one, but i could see that being harder to do in the past.
The culture may have been different then, but in my area fishermen will often go out before the ice is driveable. The smart ones wear some kind of floatation device. The younger fishermen would probably go check out the car during a slow part of the day, maybe see if some cool stuff is left behind or take some cool photos of it.
Its almost as if roads have a low capacity due to how much space each car takes up, often for just 1 person. The solution to congestion is alternatives to driving. Everything else is just a band-aid unless you significantly restrict growth and through traffic.
I think adding the 4 step in front may have confused them. I was only ever taught it was the water cycle it was never called the 4 step cycle, probably because water can kinda do the cycle in whatever step it wants. Some rain becomes ground water, some rain becomes runoff, some rain evaporates shortly after falling all from the same rain storm.
Why the hell does your area just regularly let a car break through the ice?
Build a new road is not equal to adding lanes to existing roads as the original meme implies.
I should have clarified 3+ years after construction is completed.
There is also CAFE standards that made small, effecient vehicles require extremely high emissions standards while allowing looser standards for larger, less effecient vehicles. Effectively limiting foriegn market influence while increasing both the price and size of the average vehicle on American roads.
I’ve yet to see a study where additional lanes reduced congestion long term (3+ years), yet there have been many studies proving more lanes cause induced demand, which increases congestion
I’m kinda surprised there hasn’t been a retrofit of some kind to at least make an attempt at aerodynamics for it. I guess it would be minimal efficiency savings.
