People who still to this day make that argument are either malicious or willfully pig ignorant. Every trial with carless zones has shown the 180 degree opposite of that statement.

If bike and pedestrian traffic is infrequent you’ll rarely have to give priority, problem solved right?

Conversely I get the feeling a lot of people are secretly happy about this: “Some of these people are insufferable so I can eat what I want, drive what I want, because at least I’m not an idiot like them.”

I don’t know why these people are shown next to each other. One is a scientist and the other… well the most charitable thing I can call him is a businessman.

That’s fair, in all honesty it’s a great tool. But in the end it’s not worth it.

Far be it from me to criticize people pirating this software but after some period of adjustment I’m very happy with the open source alternatives to most of these.

So what does that say? Even with a demon like Trump as opposition the establishment democrats couldn’t motivate their own base to vote. Obviously we want to vote against republicans. But the establishment was and is doing a horrible job of making that happen.

Yeah now we can industrially extract all the remaining water from the air as well as the ground.

edit: Sorry I thought it was obvious this was slightly tongue-in-cheek.

The establishment is why we have Trump.

Keep on toeing that party line. It’s doing wonders for the DNC.

They didn’t include him out of kindness but because excluding him would alienate a huge part of their base. They publicly let him in and then behind the scenes made sure he wouldn’t get far.

Recent events have shown clearly how much more public support Bernie is able to pull compared to those deluded old establishment types in the DNC. Schumer keeps yapping the same old platitudes while their numbers keep falling. Meanwhile Bernie’s selling out stadiums even in red states.

I’ll admit it’s a bit of hyperbole but the amount of effort they put into shutting Bernie out left me with quite the sour taste.

Maybe stating the obvious here: their interests are more aligned with Trump than with Bernie.

They’re not saying you can’t have an adblocker. They’re saying their software will try not to serve you their data if you do, or at least make it inconvenient.

You have a right to your computer. You do not have a right to their service.
