this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

It's legit kind of crazy how different the BS/Twitter audience is from Reddit in terms of advocacy. We've racked up over a million views from New Yorkers on this on reddit this week, mobilized the community, and gotten a few more CMs to sign on. Here on BS, barely a splash.

Literally the easiest enforcement in the world would be catching people who do this. Just take away their licenses and impound their cars due to the enormous risk to the public they create (train derailment!), these drivers cannot responsibly handle driving.

In the post apocalypse, an EV would be the way to go, you would just have one-week stops while your portable solar panels trickle in another 150 miles of range.

America is so spread out, unless your driving is 100% urban, it doesn't make logical sense.

Imagine how 100% EV would alter the post-apoc tropes.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist
