Well, the article's thesis is more that transportation/traffic engineers don't care. DoTs are set up to get grants and spend money, with a focus on throughput. Very little thought is put into safety, and most "safety" best practices are confusing, outdated, or poorly thought out.

The researchers conclude that the EU should use its strong bargaining power due to the single market to induce the Chinese government to abandon the most harmful subsidies.

This is their advice? Make the technology for the green transition more expensive rather than enact your own subsidies?

Capitalists are going to burn this planet.

They'll do the Japanese thing and allow slightly more Filipino nurses to immigrate to take care of all their geriatrics and nothing else.

Japan and South Korea are gonna ride their xenophobia until the wheels fall off.

You think the US isn't funding Ukraine to advance its own imperial interests?

You truly think we're just doing it because we just love "democracy" so much, or something like that?

Buddy, an imperial power is winning either way.

I am similarly skeptical of this. No doubt there is some congressional funding mandate to maintain some level of readiness. I've also been told that the arms going to Ukraine were things we were going to be replacing anyway, so that it is apparently leaving the US armed forces undersupplied kind of makes that sound like it was a lie.

Here in Portland we have the bike bus. It recently got enough attention that the state legislature passed a bill allowing schools to use transportation funding to promote/organize their own.

All the cost cap has done is open new development opportunities in the real sport of F1: rules lawyering and evasion.
