Yep, soft on crime and defund the police is a right wing thing. /s

Don’t get out much, do ya’?

We’ve already de facto eliminated shoplifting penalties in a lot of municipalities.. How’s that been working out?

In spite of being there in late May- early June, no crowds on the Ring road at all. Mostly desolate of people although local businesses were open.

You’re not missing anything. Once you sign those lease docs, you’re committed for the entirety of the lease term.

I low key had a similar experience in Iceland when traversing the ring road.

Car dealers love whatever cars turn the fastest and make them the most gross. They really don’t care what models they sell, only that they have access to inventory that turns fast.

Tail end boomer here.

Yep, sightlines are ridiculously bad. Interestingly, there are still a few manufacturers who make a very good effort to have big glass and proper sightlines. Subaru and Tesla come to mind.
