That’s not necessarily the case, and depends on a lot of factors. They’re generally great for cyclists. For pedestrians it varies.

In this particular example, bikes have right if way. There are also roundabouts where they don’t, or where cars have right of way, but I think it’s usually bikes.

Those problems are incredibly rare on a well designed tram system. Trams are simple machines, and therefore incredibly reliable when well maintained. Not leaving the tracks is an advantage because it makes it super predictable where the tram is going, which means you can easily mix it with bikes and pedestrians (though not cars, which are too bulky and clumsy to mix with anything).

Then have police check these locations regularly for cars obstructing the tram.

There should be no cars allowed on the tram tracks apart from emergency vehicles, buses, and maybe taxis.

The fault is not with the tram. It’s allowing cars on the tram tracks. Ban that, and the problem is fixed.

Blocking the tram should absolutely carry a crippling fine.

All these traitors using USB… A real patriot connects their peripherals only through the USA.

Doable? It’s still a massive project to connect one area where nobody lives, to another are where nobody lives. Start with a regular ferry first.

Americans love drama. The more they can draw out their soap opera elections, the better the ratings.

I hope he wins, though. The Dems need more people like him.

What kind of stupid propaganda piece is this? Venezuela the vanguard of the global south? Maduro is a dictator. Chavez at least won elections. Maduro doesn’t even have that going for him.

As far as I’m concerned, South America is wedged between two power hungry idiots: Milei and Maduro.

I’m appalled I haven’t heard the word wealthcare before.

You know what disconnects you from God? Greed. Too much money. That’s what disconnects you from God. You cannot serve both God and Mammon. The Bible never mentioned fluoride.

Then why the shutdown?

Then what is the issue with that shutdown? Use that money to pay government employees first.

Didn’t Mamdani beat Cuomo already? Does he need to beat him again?

I hope Mamdani says something like that during the debate.

Isn’t there a shutdown? Because they can’t agree on a budget? And now there’s no money even to pay government employees? So where is this money suddenly coming from?

Well, that’s where the bar is. In Venezuela, and soon maybe also in the US, if Trump gets his way.

And without elections, it’s going to be a lot harder to get change.

Don’t worry too much about the rat race. Take time to enjoy life and experience things with people you care about. The best moments in life can be really small things.

At the same time, don’t waste too much time doing nothing either; use your time well, but use it to develop and improve yourself, learn something useful. Get a job you enjoy or consider important, at least. Doing work that you enjoy or consider important is far more valuable than the money you make. But don’t ignore the money either. Just don’t sacrifice your soul for it. Don’t work yourself to death for a boss who doesn’t appreciate you. Don’t burn your relationships for money.

I’m no fan of Thatcher, but at least she did respect elections. Maduro does not.
