In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
Joe Biden passed the largest infrastructure bill since Eisenhower and red states got the majority of the funding. Trump opposed it. Now Trump is changing all the signs to claim credit. What a shameless piece of shit!
I actually took a math class on traffic for my math minor. Traffic is essentially caused by volume of traffic, human nature of always wanting to be first, and human reaction time.
Someone cuts you off etc and you have to hit the brakes. If the volume of traffic is high enough where the person behind you also hits the brakes, and the person behind that. That delay cascades. The time you spend stationary for seemingly no reason is the accumulation of possibly hours of human reaction time.
We could collectively prevent most traffic all if we all stopped tailgating, cutting people off, and generally driving like idiots 😂
