Don't forget the blood on the political class for this. After all, they're the ones who made murdering with a car the most penalty free and easily forgiven way of murdering someone. In some cities you can be comically negligent -

Not that it helps, but this is happening in most Western countries. In Canada, healthcare has similarly collapsed. Decades of mismanagement and absurd government policy finally broke the system during the COVID lockdowns and now the system

It's not just a subtle attack, but there is a huge amount of money behind getting office workers back. There are so many businesses that depend on you driving several hours per day, parking, being rushed so you have to buy food (or ev

The real scary moment will be when you see the White House and Democrats re-define what stagflation is. After all, this is a recession. Inflation is comically high - despite the incredibly massaged CPI number. The third and last criteria
