We have this attitude because we refuse to build any alternatives to driving that actually compete on a decent service level. Hourly bus service is not high quality transit nor is it competitive against driving.

People are downvoting you because your question is implying driver delays are not worth the increase in safety. Drivers are often protesting nearly anything that slows them down even when that thing slowing them down has been proven to save lives.

A bicycle has significantly less mass than a car or truck, so even if bicycles are traveling that fast regularly the risk is significantly lower in the event of a collision.

If you're that worried about it being a tax on poor people, advocate for free, high quality public transit. The way car centric places are designed right now basically means car ownership is the tax you pay to participate in society unless you want a significantly slower and scheduled experience trying to use transit.

How fast your car can go and how busy the road is irrelevant. Fact is you were exceeding the limit. Yes our road design sucks. It costs millions to rehabilitate just 1 road while it costs thousands to operate the cameras. People are literally dying due to excessive speeds on our roadways so I'll take the not perfect solution of speed enforcement over nothing.

None of these numbers really matter unless we also consider the percentage of those jobs that are full time vs part time. The wages of those jobs should also be considered if we really want to be doing fair comparisons.

So really, they only added maybe 40,000 jobs and are asking people to share.

The grit exfoliates and makes your skin softer by removing dead skin. Definitely luxurious before soaps were more common.

Values won't drop because for the most part we aren't destroying existing housing but demand is still increasing. Toronto is still growing we are just expected to rent out individual rooms and basements instead of building new, real apartments because somebody who bought 40 years ago is worried a couple of sixplexs will ruin the "character" of neighborhood.

But if we actually start increasing housing supply the real estate investors won't make as much money

No, but these beads pretty much go straight into the local waterways where they can very quickly break down into micro plastics. All so a human didn't have to use a tool like a brush or a loofa to scrub themselves. Convenience at any cost.

The pumice action definitely helps but I'm pretty sure gojo is also full of added chemicals to help the soap lift oils more effectively.

I would much rather use that bar of soap than the mysterious liquid gels full of dyes and other junk. If natural tones are somehow gross and icky but a blood red goo that faintly smells of petro chemicals is fine then maybe we really are doomed as a species.

You go back a century or so, that bar of soap would likely have been considered a luxury product.

There is also CAFE standards that made small, effecient vehicles require extremely high emissions standards while allowing looser standards for larger, less effecient vehicles. Effectively limiting foriegn market influence while increasing both the price and size of the average vehicle on American roads.

Some areas have mushrooms that are so similar the only reliable way to identify them is using a spore print.

Plants and animals tend to have more distinct identifying features like leaf patterns, bark texture or hair color.

Pretty sure big oil and car companies have been bailed out by the US government in the past. Plus america designs most of its cities so that you need to own a car. Seems like both markets are equally "free" at the end of the day.

But then ontario can drag its feet and delay rebuilding them for years all while pretending it solved traffic when congestion is predicted to get worse without the lanes.

Obviously it only makes sense to help Canada if it becomes a state. Half the reason they help with american fires is because they want to be a state so bad. /s

Says the country that believes in clean coal

It can be both, but at least if i don't catch any fish I'll catch a good buzz
