In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding.

This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

My mother's had breast cancer, hip replacement, sepsis, fractured back, stroke, shingles, and cataracts.

My father had idiopathic nocturnal seizures, tachycardia, heart incidents, and cataracts.

Hospital bill?

Absolutely nothing.

American politicans are lying to you about American healthcare.

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly.

We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)

The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

A House panel releases ethics report on Matt Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct and drug use, which he has fiercely denied. The move is a reversal for the committee, which deadlocked on the issue last month.

Stop telling pedestrians and cyclists what to do to stay safe and just force drivers not to be dangerous by design.

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.

It takes the Acela 6.75 hours to travel from Boston to DC, and in Japan this would take less than 3. This is arguably the most important economic center of the world, with trains as slow as 80 years ago.

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.”

The position of this guide rail lets you know the traffic engineer decided you are part of the clear zone, the area where a vehicle can leave the road and then recover before hitting anything important.

Good news. Because I have a picture of a street with no cars in it, we don’t need streets for cars.

I know that because of all the helpful people who have told me over the years that because they have a picture of a bike-lane with no bikes in it, we don’t need bike-lanes.

Sounds reasonable, right?

Never forget, if you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan cities for people and places, you get people and places.

Plan for the city you want.
