Only a few cities have prosecutors that could be reasonably described as progressive
And these are the cities that drive up the crime rate (SF, Seattle, LAS, NYC, Chicago). There's not a lot of porch pirating in Boise, ID.
Pretty sure the problem isn't lack of laws against thievery, but the general impossibility of enforcing it.
Utter bullshit. Put a tracker into a bait package and then track the thief. Police isn't doing that because "it affects the most vulnerable population" and progressive prosecutors are not charging these crimes.
The current self driving systems are inadequate to the job of operating buses
Why? Waymo is already testing vans. And they are operating SUVs in SF just fine for actual paying customers. And we won't _need_ buses anyway, they suck.
Tutoring high school students is $15/hr.
In SF the minimum wage is $19 per hour.
Bus drivers cost more than taxi drivers, so automating buses is still a thing that's going to happen.
Buses make no sense when drivers are essentially free, except in very niche edge-cases like getting people to/from sporting arenas. It's much more efficient to have vans that seat maybe 4-6 people instead of full-blown buses.

Nobody is going to be doing buses, so you're safe.
That's hardly fair - their competence is in denying healthcare to those in need.
Not really. They outsource their denial-writing to EviCore.
