According to a traffic engineer I knew in a city in the SW (in the 90's) they intentionally left those buttons disconnected. His words were to the effect of:
It gives them something to do while they wait for the lights to change. Actually integrating those buttons into the control system is next to impossible without…

I press it multiple times so I can make the voice guy go “wait wait wait wait wait waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait”

Anti-government conservatives have successfully pushed for industry self regulation for decades and so we get what we get.

Lol @ the greys “ He wasn’t even there that day!”

The idea that all of the people at Burning Man are rich a$$holes really gets to me. My daughter, her boyfriend and the rest of their “tribe” are anything but. They are both members of the “Dustfish” group which is made up of many of the original “Burners” and believe me, many times they don’t have two pennies to rub…

I propose exercising CPAC - every hour on the hour, all speakers and attendees must do 20 minutes of (actual, heart rate and sweat) cardio. Conference Room E is designated the makeshift morgue. Hope your speech is scheduled on the first day.

“Performative and inauthentic” seems pretty on-brand for this group.

“Well, I’m a mother too. I know what you’re experiencing, and we’re all very afraid for our children—even if they’re exaggerating,” Casey reportedly told her...

“the rite included a prayer circle in Schlapp’s office, which one person described as performative and inauthentic."

Alito: ‘Back when we were forcing children to work in sweatshoppes for pennies a day, literally risking life and limb, there was no such thing as a buffer zones ... overturned!”

Unlimited billing doesn’t necessarily add up to unlimited payments. Rumor has it that Trump doesn’t always pay people to whom he owes money.

“Ángeles Béjar marched into a church Monday and said she wouldn’t eat until the “inhuman, bloodthirsty witch hunt which my son is being subjected to” ends.”

I always find it funny that armed normal people think they can go up against the military with actual machines made for war.

ONLY a 1 million dollar fine? I’m guessing these diesel shops made 100X that selling shit that enabled diesel owners to break emissions laws.

You can always tell the ones who have been groping women consequence-free all their lives, because they pivot immediately to the evil feminist plot.

Sign me up! Let me just get that sports almanac before we go...

“Its still there because, last I’d heard, they couldn’t figure out how to de-energize the battery(s).”

If you can’t afford a new car, you effectively don’t exist to automakers

Let’s also not forget that dealers shot themselves in the foot with the ADM antics last year. Hell, up until ~May this year, the Ford dealer nearest to me was still putting 5k markups on non-GT Mach Es, and 15k markups on the GT variants.

“The dealers have pointed to a lack of demand for less-than-affluent customers”
