if you don't wanna read through this garbage, understandably, the obvious problem according to the autor who has never met another republican who is interested in safter streets is that the darn democracts keep using woke words and not like that this idiot and his ilk have a conception of street planning that is entirely solipsistic

US-style growth: "I was an idiot and then something bad happened. I am still an idiot, but I got one good take now at least."

    To make an American have decent politics you have to make them suffer like Job, I guess.

    But Job didn't learn shit. He's more like the anti-vax parents who are not sorry even though their children died of measles. God gambled with Job's life and family, allowed satan to kill them all, Job suffered the abuse with conviction, and then god came down to scold Job's friends for not being as submissive as Job.

    And then god gave Job seven times the family he had before, as if that makes up for everything when the originals were still dead. Children are objects, possessions in the bible.

    It's also the only time satan kills people in the bible, though it's nowhere near god's planet-scale genocides. Arguably every death is god's fault, if he is omnipotent.

    Unfortunately, for every point there is a counterpoint.

    And obviously anecdotal, but my regressive mother raged at the government for making unemployment so difficult and low-paying when my dad was out of a job. And immediately went back to talking about jobless bums the second he got one.

    US-style growth: "I was an idiot and then something bad happened. I am still an idiot, but I got one good take now at least and now I'm upset with the other side for not succeeding at doing the thing I and other like-minded people actively prevented them from doing."

    I mean, look at this dolt. She's both-sidesing like it's her job.

    we turned roads into a political argument.

    We?

    The Left loses the Right

    Entirely their fault, you're correct.

    if we finally start letting the experts guide the conversation without politicizing the issue.

    From the person whose ilk were ignoring the experts and advocating on behalf of car companies, awesome.
