I can see that in rural, although here in the states it’s a mix. Some places are so rural that there are no taxi services close (so any ride will be expensive). Sometimes there are rideshare apps, sometimes not.

Cab would be much cheaper - the question is if you’d be able to get one. 

Well, depending on the time of day it could change, but not like Uber. There is a base rate of $3.25 and an additional $2.25 per mile. If there is no traffic, or stops, the ride would come out to under $15 for a five mile ride. If traffic was heavy, there is a stand and wait fee that comes to $20 every hour the meter…

RE: the Uber prices. How much would a taxi cost for that five miles?

It’s nearly impossible to get a taxi in downtown Chicago, there’s so few compared to a few days ago. In a neighborhood, they’re just non-existent.

na once more people have guns, every situation will be saturated with “good guys with guns” so there will never be a mass casualty event

But don’t people in other countries have mental health problems? Because this seems to really only happen here. At this frequency anyway.

I love how Antifa has become this shadowy cabal of agents that is highly organized and subversive but it can be literally anyone. Also I love how Anti-Fascists is somehow the bad guys for the freedom crowd? Oh those darn people who hate fascism ruining my freedom parade...

It’s interesting that our views are exactly opposite - and I don’t mean to be confrontational here. Certainly, Europe has a lot of baggage, but it is an adult. The U.S.A. is still a teenager among nations. Arrogant, subjectively immortal, careless and reckless. I want to think that we Europeans have learnt a bit from…

Plus in the UK, most people take their test in a manual.

The last driving test I sat was on December 7th 2011, at 13:40 to be exact. It was back home in the UK and was a 45-minute affair that started with answering questions about the car itself, such as how to check your oil level, and ended with a bay park back at the test center.

No lie is as powerful than the one we tell ourselves.

The Heritage of Vauxhall is huge.

Look, clearly you have a very narrow understanding of how the world works and that includes the presidency. Trump spent four years courting and empowering authoritarian regimes around the world while simultaneously doing everything he could to damage our own democracy and the strength of allied relationships. It is he…

The Vauxhall suggestion is a rather ignorant one. It has zero unique cars. It’s just a badge, a badge with a lot of heritage. If you kill it, you have to replace it with an international badge (Opel) which has almost zero name recognition in the UK.

There are no, repeat NO cars that are “too small for police work”, only cops who are too spoiled to make do with what the taxpayers give them.

Jesus Jezebel’s coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been dreadful. I hardly know where to start.

It’s not extra-legal, and it’s not just about the whims of the party in power. The emergency act needs parliamentary approval, which it has received.  The protesters had plenty of notice that this would happen and those that chose to remain can live with that choice.

The UK has a constitution, it’s just that it’s not on one piece of paper with the word ‘constitution’ at the top.

Yet again, a US article on the UK has a weird, pompous tone, full of hostile sneering. Why is everything coming out of America so ugly?
