Bikes solve the problem of the last-mile. Subways are expensive to build and dig, bikes gets you much further and literally anywhere. Add a bike station at your subway station and you have both working together.

Just look at data of percentage of people vaccinated in the western world where supply is actually available for anyone to take the vaccine right now. The US is last. There is something specific to the US here.

Is the problem the lack of discussion or the spread of fake news, disinformation and fear mongering in the US? Most/all western countries have higher vax rate than the US (and survey says that vaccine usage is lower among republicans i

Your assumption is wrong, they are being refused by Square, Stripe, etc, etc. CBD are also in a grey zone which cause them tons of problems accepting credit cards. This isn't because of higher processing fees.

And what is your point? The only countries that had a large amount of doses in the first few months of 2021 were the countries producing the vaccine. There was no way that the US would produce for export before vaccinating their own populat

You are revisioning history. Contracts were with companies. Not governments. Canada didn’t order US vaccines. It ordered Pfizer, Moderna, Etc. They were free to ship from wherever they wanted as long as national governments allowed it. Yes

Not to comment on authority but from a pandemic perspective it’s probably better to keep low income people in their apartment than the alternative. They either end up having to move in with friends, start using shelters, or have to move to
