“And yet, Texas is still so gerrymandered, even voting harder probably won’t be enough to get him out of office.”

.. we really are reaching for anything to write about these days, huh? lol

There may be no significant benefits but you’re also forgetting the average owner of one of these shitboxes is also a selfish asshole and the MUH FAMBLY shit is just an excuse to be an asshole. This shit isn’t going to stop until we start yanking licenses for dangerous driving, and I’m not holding my breath.

“just surround the guy with the dozen cruisers on scene and be done”

No one knows, and there’s no way to find out.

“You’re the driver.”

People can relax without drugs OR alcohol, imagine that!

Intoxicated people are a menace, whether they’re drunk or high.

You’re not drinking alone if the cat is on your lap.

Ain’t no law when your driving to the claw. 

In Texas, test cars for autonomous vehicle startups have also been targeted, showing that tensions between regular people and autonomous vehicles are rising.

Are you high? In what world should we accept egregious vandalism as a “cost of doing business”? If someone ever breaks into your house and shoots you, I assume that’s “cost of owning a home” then? No emergency service involvement right?

You’re describing MAGA underwear.

Your anecdata is not strong?

Police chief in my small city of 60k makes $325k per year. Most of the regular cops are pulling in $120k. They make upwards of $200k at the end of their career (in their mid 50s), then spend the last 3 years working a shit ton of OT so that there pensions are inflated based on those last few years of total pay. Then…

Shorter: to be an asshole.

The old stereotype was “tapping” your taillight w/ the baton & saying “sir, you have a broken taillight”.

$9 isn’t even like one banana.

You are complaining about $18?

Financial burden of public transit compared to owning a car.  lol  First time I’ve heard that nonsense.  Thanks for the laugh.
