It’s not unpopular. Its quite popular within the city. The problem is that it’s unpopular with a tiny minority of suburban drivers but those suburban districts will be key swing districts during the upcoming election. Essentially it’s the r

Well considering fossil fuels continue to receive subsidies centuries after they were first regularly used your claim doesn’t sound correct at all.

Vaccinations for public health is as science as you can get. Middle school science is F=ma. That stuff is barely interesting once you enter the 20th century.

The first 2 comments on HN on this article about women in cycling are talking about men in cycling instead. It’s fascinating. I can’t tell if it’s a sign of HN commenters never talking about the topic itself, about HN being predominantly ma

The only reason we have switching costs is that the grid system for nearly a century was designed for fossil fuels with essentially a hub and spoke system. This is an incredibly fragile system as we saw with the massive blackouts. Different

You may be right about future generations. But the data referred to in this article itself, shows that alcohol consumption hasn’t gone down. So your speculation is not true today at least.

The problem with this belief is that as the linked article shows, the increase in marijuana consumption has not been accompanied by a decrease in alcohol consumption, which has remained stable. So we’re still stuck with all the risks of the
