Nailed it. Thank you.

Bad stuff happens, but tis true that US infrastructure of all types is pretty janky.

Saddening news, especially just before Christmas. That said, the overall issue is pretty easy to describe: this so-called first world country’s railway system is outmatched even by India. As a European temporarily living in the US, for me it’s ridiculous to see to which low standard (other than axle load) this type of…

It’s the result of more advanced breeding techniques, advances in livestock feed, and of course, good-old-fashioned all-natural growth hormones.

Fuck the NFL, fuck Jerry Jones, fuck Pence, fuck Trump, and fuck every coward trying to pretend this protest is about anything other than systemic racism.

Rosa Parks?!! Protesters?!! Are you REALLY comparing the plight of downtrodden Americans who are having their Constitutionally guaranteed rights violated through violence, hatred, segregation, and bigotry to some factory workers who think they’re getting a slightly raw deal because conditions/benefits/pay in their…

sure, you’re *technically* right. the same way i’ve gotten out of two “speeding” tickets on the *technicality* that the margin of error of both my speedometer and the cop’s radar (not to mention the combination of the two, which is not only a great album but also a statistically significant factor when we’re talking…

“Upon further review, they did only estimate the driver’s speed and they did not record or measure it on a radar and laser as they indicated on the ticket,” Sturgeon County spokesperson Gwen Wolansky said.

There’s not much to debate with someone who thinks driving 1 mph over the speed limit is speeding. Seen too many of these clowns who think its their job to police everybody else, inducing loads of road rage and clogging the roads up by squatting in the left lane (or any lane for that matter). Emergency services and…

I love how you absolutely REFUSE to understand what people are saying, and just keep repeating yourself over and over. You can’t just IGNORE margin of error. Margin of error is EVERYTHING when we are talking about 1 KPH.

US law requires your speedometer to be accurate to within 5 MPH at 50 MPH. Go ahead and justify…

Exactly why it’s a problem that the police, through inconsistent enforcement and lack of compliance on their own accounts, have facilitated the creation of a system of arbitrarily low speed limits in which something like 80% of all drivers are exceeding them. Of course they could raise the limits to reasonable speeds…

“More important” HA. Mr. Brainwashed, never question the system, even when it clearly isn’t working as intended. You’re wrong. Most people actually simply travel at a speed they feel comfortable at without looking down very much. The posted limit has very little actual effect on average speed. Hence why rules like the…

You rat kids out to Code Enforcement for selling lemonaide without a permit, don’t you?

Speed laws are stupid. I don’t mean that they’re unnecessary, but that they lack intelligence and they’re often set at speeds that are designed more for generating revenue than ensuring safety. If speed laws are REALLY “the fastest safe traveling speed under ideal conditions”, then simply going the speed limit should…

While this may true, let’s not pretend the law itself is altruistic. After all, if history has taught me one thing, it’s that the law is often wrong (hi, slavery and voting rights). Most speed limits are set at laughably low levels for today’s standards and their enforcement are often used as a means to supplement…

A limit doesn’t mean much when they regularly ignore scientific investigation and intentionally under post the limit in an effort to generate revenue.

Everyone who didn’t try to intervene should be fired too. Why did they let this happen? Like that security guy talking on his phone - what about doing your job? You’re witnessing a nurse on the hospital you work for getting assaulted!

Once Payne and his superior who pushed him are fired and unable to find another job, then I’ll believe in that “goodness of society”.

Unions have had their day. Back when there were little to no labor laws, unions had a place. Nowadays, all unions do is ensure overpaying people with limited skills.

Unions are a”corporate boogeyman” because their main purpose is to protect the jobs of people who should be fired. I don’t think any company ever wanted to deal with them.
