Adult being a friend or family member? I’ve heard about that, and it always struck me as strange, as people aren’t driving instructors, driving instructors are driving instructors.

Quite frankly, driving skills standards in the entire American continent are a joke to begin with. I’ve seen current requirements in Canada (“Wut?” bad), united states (teehehehehe bad) and Mexico (the aristocrats joke bad) and I know going south it only gets worse.

I got my driver’s license 25 years ago in the Netherlands and had to take classes for a number of months, learn an entire book of rules, had a one bour theory exam where typically only 60-70% would pass at the first try, then I had to take 30 hours of practical lessons with an instructor in a special car, and take a practical exam with an examiner where the rulr is pretty much “one mistake and you’re out”. I learned how to drive in rain, what to look out for, hoe to drive in show, how to manage losing control of your car, etc etc etc… I was instilled with andeaddaly respect for what s car is and what it can do in seconds to ruin lives for good.

Comparing that ti anything they teach today in the Americas, it’s just a sad joke.

One of us, one of us, one of us…

Lists you are on contain information that can be modified, updated. I lived at A? I move to B. You can’t change your DNA and if that would be abused, that would be much,uch worse than social security info

The first a in acab means all so there is that… Beyond that, I’m sure there are loads that don’t care and ignite it but there are also loads that do care but it simply isn’t that simple. You can’t just go on a lone crusader’s path, burn your career and future to make ymreal meaningful change. It’s not that easy.

Yeah, nobody currently in charge would be stoopid enough to do this, but then again each subsequent Republican generation becomes dumber and starts doing the things the previous generation only threatened for money and power. I see them dumb enough to try this 10 years down the road

this one anonymous person on the Internet claiming to be a cop agreed with me!

Yeah, that isn’t exactly an argument. Not all police officers (can we pleeeaaase stop calling them the “cool” sounding “cop”?) are bad, especially outside of the US, but even inside the US you have loads of good guys and gals wanting to make a difference and make the world a better place.

Acab is the exact same behavior as those bad apples. Don’t be like the bastards…

I know, I know. Just saying US police is already fucked up bad right now

I’d love to see that happen.

Do you think the US would leave it’s army and it’s nukes in a different country just like that? Texas has a fun economy

Then the Republican party would lose a large red state, we would finally be rid of Republican presidents and houses, no more extremist bullshit to deal with.

The US would flourish again and go truly MAGA as it no longer had to deal with the Republican shit.

Texas has shit infrastructure that they don’t manage well enough to keep up, it would be a hoot

Yeah I don’t think it’s that easy. Saying “all in this group are evil” is the same argument used to gas Jews in WWII, it’s a really dumb and short sighted argument.

Yes, there is a LOT of shit going on and a lot of police officers are bad, but that doesn’t mean they all are and just because they’re not doing enough against this, doesn’t mean they don’t care or don’t try or even can try…

With situations like these “it’s not that simple” is a much better statement than acab, which as much fun as it may be to say, is just dumb and short sighted

So pretty much keep the situation as-is? I mean it’s really not THAT far off right now.

Yeah… Really want to bring that down staggeringly?

STOP DRIVNG A GODDAMN CAR FOR SUB 5 MILE TRIPS AND START USING BIKES, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FOR LONGER TRIPS, AND YOUR LEGS FOR, YOU KNOW, TEO BLOCKS.

While at it, all the American continent should start redesigning their cities. Everything is designed for cars only, it’s all unsustainable.

Also, don’t think that CEO doesn’t do whatever the fuck he wants, it’s a puppet

Yeah, you’re missing the point that this is a shouting headline that I’ve read about 50 times in the past ten years at least. Progress happens, I’m sure, I neo t say it doesn’t. This, however, is sensationalist bullshit, not progress.

“Raises”?

That was a concern the day it was unveiled years ago

You wanna fix American politics and with that nearly all other problems with it?

Stop the “winner takes all” system you have right now.

You’ll get a hundred political parties that have to compete with eachother. People will start voting more because now there are parties they can actually agree with and you get rid of this “always nearly 50/50” bullshit and one big party that blocks any proposal to actually improve the country

Want to stop the bank on assault rifles? Good luck stopping 20 parties

That is a whole different can of worms and should be illegal as well

Since they break the record every year, it’s news every year

No. We can arm them with AR15s though

I too have a bridge to sell you!
