Not everyone who is right wing is voting for trump.

It is orange they can do whatever they want to the bikelane. Almost every day I have to avoid someone doing construction... if it was a road they would put up signs and provide detours or flagmen but a bike path is for decoration not bikes in their mind.

True, but I have an old ICE that I can keep running for a while. The question is should I spend more than it is worth on maintenance?

depends on your state but generally fighting will cost you a lot oi time and you lose anyway - then the judge mad at the waste of time throws the max fine or even jail at you. Just plead guilty pay the $50 fine and move on - it probably will be that cheap.

The real question is will this hold up in court. Judges are likely to frown on this type of thing. Sure the EULA that they know nobody reads says that, but their tools are giving advice in an authoritative tone. My company has got in trouble in court because in an advertisement it appeared our tools were being used in ways the warning label says don't.

Seventh Amendment - In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, [snip]

I'm surprised arbitration holds up. I can believe the court say it comes first and the reasoning of arbitration should be given to the jury along with instructions that they can disbar a lawyer who tries to reverse something the arbitration decides when arbitration was correct, but ultimately the right to a jury trial is required.

There are a number of people who want to raise a child but for reasons cannot have their own. I know several people with genetic issues that they do not want to pass on for example. There are also couples who despite trying just cannot have a kid (their doctors know more but that is private so it wasn't shared with me).
There are a number of kids who do not have family who can take them in. There are neglectful parents who are not taking care of their kids (drugs are often a factor). There are cases where mom and dad died (car accident?) leaving a kid with no family to care for them (no aunts/uncles and grandparents who realize they are too old). The above is a small minority, but will several hundred million people in the US, and 8 billion in the world it happens all the time. The only question is how to get the two together.

Likely far more energy and pollution needed to manufacture this though so overall a loss for the earth.

The point of a city is all the things that you can journey too. If you just want the things in your local neighborhood then you can find that in small towns in the middle of nowhere. However in a large city a short journey of beyond walking distance is the real goal. We need more bike lanes and public transit!

We need zoning reforms because people shouldn't have to get to go far to get the basics (milk or whatever your culture sees as basics). However that doesn't change any need for getting people around.

That depends on how this ends. If this drags out for a while the people may realized that Ukraine is a better government and demand not to go back to Russia. Seems unlikely, but strange things happen.

I get on the first airplane to Europe and apply for political asylum when I get off.

Unless you already have strong connections and relationships with everyone else in the Kremlin you won't last very long.

Moscow is too close. They need to reach the north korea border to stop importation of somethings. Also they need to hit airfields in Siberia where bombers are sored.
