Only the wealthy would hold on to their money, which they’re already doing.
No, they invest it otherwise it loses value over time. Invested money is put to work.

Fair response - thanks for your insight.
These people use research the same way a drunkard uses a lamppost - for support rather than illumination.

You weren’t supposed to read the study! 😅
rclone & restic work okay together to create backups in a Google drive mount. There are “issues” with backing up to Google drive since it doesn’t guarantee file names are unique which is… a choice… but it should be reliable enough.
If memory serves, Shelby was just about the ability of the DOJ to require states from the former Confederacy to get DOJ’s approval before making any changes to their election laws, where this is about DOJ’s ability to monitor any state’s actual implementation of their election laws
This is quite incorrect. I would read the link I provided.
As for how likely it is that you actually get hit - do you think it’s easier to avoid a 2’ x 6’ object moving at 15 mph or a 8’ x 16’ object moving at 45 mph?
The cars are where I expect them to be - and they are much more likely to slow if they see me on the crosswalk. Dude on a bike just swerves around me at speed.
Cyclists like to think they’re still pedestrians when it suits their purpose.
I’m quite surprised he hasn’t already.
…it
…it probably is.
Since Shelby v Holder they are restrained in where they can monitor - they need a court order to do so and can’t follow old guidelines that let them monitor in “historically racist” locations like Texas.

This isn’t a criminal trial
What are those cyclists having accidents with? Magical monoliths that appear out of nowhere or… cars?
Yeah… Whenever I’m on foot in the city I’m twice as nervous about being hit by a cyclist as I am a car.
They ride on sidewalks, don’t stop at lights, weave through pedestrians at crosswalks, etc.
They seem to be so full of themselves for not being in a car that they forget that they can also injure people.
You’re making it too complicated. People just see “things cost more now than when I was a child” and thinks that’s bad. They don’t understand inflation. They don’t understand that that’s the economy working as designed.
“now”
People are pretty simple - they pay more attention to prices than income. All they remember is that “thing used to cost x now it costs y” and conclude that things are worse of. Everybody always thinks “costs are it of control”. This is a standing headline going back many decades.
Because it is an attack on somebody for belonging to a group rather than something about themselves specifically.

Every conversation on the Internet will eventually devolve into an argument over who said what.
I was paraphrasing “Simple, prevent wars. Kick leaders in the balls. Lessen human suffering and violence.” Specifically the first part. If you meant something else I invite you to clarify. But so far you didn’t seem to have developed your thoughts past “prevent wars” and “the UN is useless”.
You’re absolutely right. In retrospect I should have known better than to engage with somebody saying “why doesn’t the UN just stop wars?”
Until it goes to the supreme court as well.
This response from the guy who said Simple, prevent wars.

I’m wasting my time.
You really don’t want deflation. The correct thing now is for wages to go up to match the new costs and this has been happening.
