Yea I noticed this as well so I just switched to blocking people instead of responding. Like I'm not here to educate. If someone refutes what I'm saying with substance that's different. But 90% of the responses I get are vapid disagreements with a dash of gish gallop.
Silly take: I don't think anyone deserves the nobel peace prize for anything related to the utter failure, disgrace, and human atrocity that is the western-funded genocide of innocent Palestinians.
I'm sorry but absolutely mother-fuck every country in the world that is complicit in this. Fuck Canada. Fuck the USA. FUCK ISRAEL! Fuck them all.
We don't deserve to award, celebrate, or nominate anything.
That's the truth. Reconcile it.
Exactly lol. All commonwealths have an upper and lower house just like the USA. I believe their senates are appointed as well, though I have not verified that.
(the senate, primarily)
Fair point! In Canada our senate is appointed by the Prime Minister and the position is lifetime. They rarely reject bills from the lower house.
-
Because first past the post electoral systems always result in a 2 party system due to defensive voting.
-
Because Americans didn't listen to George Washington, when during his farewell address he strongly cautioned against "alternate domination" of a 2 party system.
-
Because Americans are woefully uneducated, dis-interested, and preoccupied.
It's been an even greater strength for big corporations though. There's a lot of immigration lawyers who own Tim Hortons. Same with education; their entire business model requires extortionate tuition/rent that only foreign students can afford.
We need to name and shame the people profiting off of this mismanagement. Pointing the finger at the government just causes them to deflect aimlessly.
Good. Lot of these companies contribute nothing to society other than GDP and consumerism.
You can replace workers with AI but not customers.
Automotive lobbyists. That's why killing someone drunk driving a car is manslaughter not murder. Scooter lobbying is probably pennies to the dollar of automotive lobbying.
Scooters don't have odometers making data collection difficult. Similar vein, scooter accidents and injuries are less likely to be reported or linked back to scooters than to cars.
Given cars go significantly farther than scooters that likely makes the output number not very useful and possibly harmful from a marketing standpoint. 1/10,0000kms for cars vs 1/100kms for scooters is not appealing.
Scooters are still new. There probably isn't enough data yet. Right now a lot of scooter roll outs are in their pilot phase or recently completed it.
Scooter injuries have significantly more/different factors. I friend of mine needed elbow surgery because he lost balance due to a combination of wind, being tall, catching on a tree branch, losing control, side walk disrepair, and bad luck hitting his elbow on a concrete barrier. And he was sober.
I think the statistics are still cooking.
