I genuinely believe at this point that trump is working to weaken the United States, how big of a chance is there that this is deliberate, that he’s not actually acting in good faith of the American people based on his actions?

I think Russia has an ongoing massive fuel crisis right now which is not going to end and will only get worse in the coming months.

Russia is about to experience an economic collapse, pretty sure.

Good news.

This is probably a good thing, it’s more efficient if people live within larger municipal areas closer to amenities. It’s very inefficient if we have small towns everywhere that need their own supplies. I’m not saying we should all live in one massive city, just that at scale, things become more accessible to people.

Yea but I added the weight and prevalence of heavier cars and nothing changed around the time of reversal, it was steadily increasing as the amount of pedestrian deaths were going down from 1980 to 2008

Probably poor infrastructure, people crossing in the middle of the street, fewer strict speed limits, etc.

Yea it’s meant to show how smart phones correlate significantly more than vehicle weight, but that vehicle weight is more of an exacerbating factor rather than the cause. Smart phone adoption is absolutely the cause for more pedestrian deaths, distracted driving, I see people driving while looking attheir phone all the time, it’s verified fact.

• National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): The historical pedestrian fatality statistics are sourced directly from the NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), which tracks traffic fatalities nationwide. https://www.nhtsa.gov/book/countermeasures-that-work/pedestrian-safety
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): The historical vehicle weight data and the market shift toward light trucks and SUVs come from the EPA’s annual Automotive Trends Report, which maintains data on every new light-duty vehicle produced since 1975. https://www.epa.gov/automotive-trends/highlights-automotive-trends-report
• Pew Research Center: The timeline of smartphone adoption and mobile internet use in the United States is tracked by the Pew Research Center’s National Public Opinion Reference Surveys. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/01/08/internet-use-smartphone-ownership-digital-divides-in-u-s/
• Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS): The safety analysis regarding vehicle lethality, front-end geometry (the “leading edge”), and blind spots during pedestrian impacts relies on multiple IIHS studies, including their specific analyses of pedestrian crash lethality by vehicle type. https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/fatality-statistics/detail/pedestrians

A false analogy. Every room in a house is not every apartment in a building.

I think they may be inky cap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprinopsis_atramentaria

They didn’t seem sparkly.

On further review, I realize the year timelines at the bottoms of the left and right graphs aren’t the same. Terrible visualization.

So the supply has gone up, and the price has gone up. 🤔 Sounds like a gatekept bubble.

I don’t believe this at all. Who did they ask?
