If you happened to own some otherwise useless farmland in the area, you should be excited for the new plant. All those workers are going to need shitty townhouses to live in for 5 years.

It’s a backdoor way of trying to deal with crumbling roads. “Off-roading” is often just driving 2 miles down a country road that became an arterial because of unplanned growth.

Go figure.  All the animals will kill you, but the cars won’t.

The worst part was the hypocrisy.

Maybe it is a result of the famous Canadian politeness, and most respondents didn’t feel comfortable saying they “hated” anything. They just pulled OJ out of their tuque, figuring no one really goes there so no one would be offended.

That stack of asphalt doesn’t look like it amounted to much of a speed bump. Dude needs to adjust his suspension or throttle. 

Gotta kill them before they kill you!

Until they hit you with that syrup subscription.

You must have missed the part of the article that mentioned Mississippi.

So..... a junior varsity effort?

I like this new hybrid configuration that runs on vitamins/steroids/court judgments.

Yeah, that’s not an elderly person at all.  Look at how quickly they pop up from the dive roll.  Drugs.

Robot dog can’t smell the bad guys from a mile away.  Because bad guys always stink.

Especially a 22 & 23 year old who may have personal stability issues.

Sigh.  Still no manual option.  Pass.

4th Gear:

This is like my apartment dwelling neighbors who think if they ignore the notices on their front door about parking/construction/maintenance, it doesn’t apply to them.

Comic Sans or GTFO.

My ‘01 S10 Blazer rear-ended a ‘19 Mazda3 at about 7mph. My Blazer’s front bumper caved in, taking out everything up to the radiator. Cost me about $1100 to repair/replace. The Mazda needed a new camera/sensor in the rear bumper. $850.

Rural farming communities are statistically negligible by definition. (sparsely populated) However, your great point about geography limiting walkability is crucial. Not every state is flat like Florida or Missouri. Walking 2 miles from your home in California or North Carolina can mean hills and canyons.
