My town is also fighting a driver “shortage”. Its not a shortage. In MA School busses require a CDL and they pay well below market rates. Why would anyone, especially with a CDL, drive a bus for ~$15/hr when even fast food here is paying more?

If only 73 drivers quit and they are 500 drivers short, then the shortage isn’t really about the mandate, is it?

I mean that’s an extremely shallow view of crypto as a whole. Most cryptocurrencies these days aren’t _just_ a currency. Ethereum operates as a distributed compute platform. Right now there’s hundreds of second layer crypto built on top of it offering overcollateralized lending, no-loss lotteries, and of course NFTs…

You are also describing real estate.

there are only 6 states that allow someone under 16 to drive without supervision, all very rural states with few, if any, large cities (ID, MT, ND, NM, SC, SD) (ABQ in NM being the largest metro area at ~923K)

many states allow a learner’s permit at some point before 16, true, but that is not the same as turning 14…

Not sure why you’re so thrilled about this thing. From an environmentalist perspective, which is nominally what these articles are written with, this competes with bicycles, buses, and motorcycles, not cars. With a max speed of 27mph and no crumple zone, this is not taking cars off the streets, it’s replacing…

the last thing cities like munich, berlin and paris need is thousands of 15 year olds driving these things all over the place, parking on sidewalks, running over pedestrians and getting smashed by busses.

15 year olds should not be operating anything more complicated than their genitals (and only then by themselves in…

a lot of those people who drive into manhattan get subsidized parking and tolls from their employers, and so are entirely cost-insensitive.

the only real answer is to outright ban POVs from manhattan below the park and only allow EV cabs with medallions (because fuck uber), EV busses and and bicycles.

that’s generally the story. “It takes a death for safety to be considered.”

People speed because the road is wide open with few parked cars or other sight blockers.

Lack of housing density isn't an excuse to not to have speedbumps, it's the reason people speed and therefore why speedbumps might be necessary. 

Ah yes, parks and churches, the ONLY two reasons that there could be pedestrians somewhere, or a reason to help control speed. What BS luck for someone trying to do good. That truck driver better end up in jail.

Mmm...nuke plants do need a decent sized initial pool of water when they get built, but once operational, that water supply is self-contained.

Not gonna lie...The new Z is so much better looking to me than the Supra. Subjective I know but dam the Zed is a looker. Even before the technical comparison.

Good for Biden to leave Tesla uninvited.

I’m just wondering what point here you’re trying to make when we’re pretty much caught every government blatantly lying about the numbers?

Would really suck if all land lines and satallites transmitting or receiving traffic in or out of the US just wound up nonfunctional one day... well it would suck for the US and literally nobody else. Why haven’t we done that?

It’s funny, America just stepped up its cyber-attacks against Cuba as a soft trial for the new age of warfare and its efforts to shore up the collapse of its empire, beginning the reorganization of its interests from the Middle East to Latin America. The increasing desperation of a people in the throes of their own…

well it would suck for China and literally nobody else

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to trust the “findings” of military-intelligence agencies, whose entire modus operandi is to lie, cheat, steal and murder. Yesterday’s “Russian meddling” is today’s “Chinese hackers.”
