As someone who lives in Ohio, you couldn't be more wrong. While yes, the state is slightly conservative, the GOP has gerrymandered the state to the point they can't lose. While the state votes overall around 57% conservative, the GOP somehow miraculously has a veto proof majority in the state. The concept of democracy has gone out the window here and been replaced with win at all costs.

Quoted from the article. More quotes:

> "Tesla accomplished this by building a tiny two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and a sub-50 kWh battery pack."
> "That’s a legitimate engineering strategy for a robotaxi fleet vehicle. It’s not a fair comparison to a car you’d actually buy."

So let me get this straight. They sold data they shouldn't have for $20 million. They settled for $12.75 million. So they made a profit of $7.25 million. So what exactly is the incentive for them not to do this again? They don't make as much as they want if they get caught, but they still make money. This is how you encourage companies to do this, not discourage them.

You do not have to pedal most ebikes. Class 2 ebike and class 3 ebikes can be operated by throttle. Built in speed limits are usually easy to bypass.

Yes, it is really problem. On the Golden Gate Bridge it has been a problem for years. E-bikes going down the sidewalks much to fast to respond to pedestrians and so on.

You cannot just put pedals on a Harley and call it a bicycle. There are some so-called ebikes that can go highway speeds.

Often, there is no other place for cyclists to ride. Often, to get to one bike path to another, you have to ride on sidewalks. Often, sidewalks are considered bike paths.
Bicycles have enormous potential to reduce greenhouse gases, and solve many other problems - as has been proved in the Netherlands. But a certain amount of urban planning is needed.

The fuels are not made from fossils. Maybe "carbon" fuels would make more sense?

Untold billions in outright fraud were uncovered. Want to try again?

The US sent Ukraine about $100 billion, what does it take to be properly armed?

That is not exactly correct. There is a reason they are called "tariffs" not "taxes."
Tariffs can bring in revenue, but they can also be used for public policy, and trade policy.
For example, let's suppose a country imposes on tariff of some US goods, and the president immediately turns around and imposes tariffs on some of that countries goods. The tariff is not for revenue, it can be to tell the other country to back off.
There are a million reasons a president might want to impose tariffs. It is a tool that can be used for all sorts of negotiations.

Gas prices were still on average lower under Biden?
Gas prices are temporarily up because of a war with Iran, that has gone on all of 7 weeks.
Not long ago, gas prices here in Colorado, were as low as $2.12 a gallon.
I am certain that if you averaged it out, fuel prices under Biden were much higher.

Obviously illegal?
Other US presidents have imposed tariffs, why is Trump treated differently?
But, speaking of "obviously illegal" Joe Biden, in brazen defiance of the US constitution, forgave student loans. The case went to the Supreme Court twice, and both times SCOTUS upheld that Biden did not have that authority. But Biden did it anyway, and bragged about.
Makes me wonder who is the dickhead doing things "obviously illegal."

My guess is that the issue is the chance of the line being tangled in something. If there are trees around, a gust of wind could easily blow the line (with or without package) into the trees. You also have to leave the package somewhere out in the open as there would be no way to put in on a covered porch.

Shakespeare, I think.
