@BrianLehrer @JStein_WaPo @MariRebuaSimoes @heindehaas @JamesMartinSJ @WNYC I listened with interest as first one, then two callers asked the resiliency question, and it was ignored and the guest said full steam ahead with legislation. Booo.

@BrianLehrer @JStein_WaPo @MariRebuaSimoes @heindehaas @JamesMartinSJ @WNYC Curious—if we eliminate gas use in housing, are we also putting all of our energy needs in one basket? How can electricity be diversified to be resilient?

@BrianLehrer @SaraMorrison @shannonosaka @GaneshSitaraman @WNYC Why is AI worrying? Because lots of the code is unexplainable by its creators! It’s not the logical decision trees that process your webcart purchases.

@BrianLehrer @jahimes @NancySolomon2 @larrybuch @RobSimmelkjaer @WNYC Are we ever going to see a California style election guides here in NY /NJ states?

@BrianLehrer @Newsday Play a game with your fellow bus riders while waiting for your next bus. Min $50/violation. See who makes the most money before your bus arrives. https://t.co/yb2ma7XhT6

@BrianLehrer @Newsday Here’s a trick if you want to see how many distracted drivers are here in Nassau co. Try taking a Nassau Co Bus. Many stops right on the road. Now that we’re entering the winter months with early sunset, you can tell who’s distracted by the _glow_.

@wsbeck @BrianLehrer @Newsday As far as NYS law (not sure about specific Long Island ordinances), 30% tiny is allowed. I would argue many have illegal tint with greater opacity. How do they get away with it? Unwillingness of the police to enforce. https://t.co/zGbfXKas3u

@BrianLehrer @Newsday Caller speaks about the design of roads can influence the sense of speed. On the North Shore, roads are narrower and more twisty than mid-island Nassau where roads are wide and very rectilinear—basic suburban planning.

@BrianLehrer @Newsday Brian mentioned high performance vehicles make it easy to drive faster than is permitted. Riding a MC with a clutch/manual transmission, I can attest to this as well.

@BrianLehrer @MTA @WNYC I’ve not investigated this—curious congestion pricing and delivery B2B

[Christian Simon @xtiansimon]

@BrianLehrer @yoavgonen @WNYC Police are trained to engage as in the Uvalde shootings. Why were these officers not trained to back out of the room here?

@BrianLehrer @DavidFBrand What is the voucher solution for landlord requirement for Guarantor?

[Christian Simon @xtiansimon]

@BrianLehrer @Esqueer_ Interesting to hear the medical story here. I’m thinking about people and attitudes towards medicine—on the one hand people who game the system to get pharm quality drugs for addictions Vs. people who shun vaccines and avoid doctors and advice to their own peril.

[Christian Simon @xtiansimon]

@BrianLehrer @NYSenatorRivera What’s the road map to making this reality? What’s the legislation window? When will this be in the ballot and I can vote for it?

[Christian Simon @xtiansimon]

@BrianLehrer @NewYorker @WNYC Silos of ignorance pre-date the internet. What the internet let’s you do is multiply voices and spread the false beliefs. IT’s curious how private and public business jumped into the swamp for fun & profit

@BrianLehrer @DanielGriffinMD @WNYC $10 for rapid test. Ok. And the clinic cost as over $100

@BestInFlightLDJ @BrianLehrer @JNelsonLDF “…before the lights go on whether the car's registered owner has an outstanding warrant.” I don’t understand—Are you suggesting some kind of surveillance of license plates?
I’m specifically referring to traffic stops as a “critical control point” for outstanding warrants.
