Indeed. I have many times mentioned this with business/product owners in my organization - but it is a nasty mix of complicated laws and regulation, pressure from legal, and a mentality of risk-minimizing. I usually only mention it in

"Electrofuel". God.. they are so good at lobbying and PR i have to admire it. Even though it will lead to people dying by toxic exhausts.

Stagnant public transit use is caused by bad public transit. Hence investments are needed. The USA’s transit is like a 3rd world country’s.

That is great. Private car use is insanely inefficient, and has numerous negative externalities like toxic gas exhaust, increasing the risk of injury to people not in a car, and rubber particulates.

Reducing car-dependency is great. The car-dependent lifestyle and urban planning is the Cigarrettes of the 21st century. When/if we manage to move our socity away from that, we will look back and ask: What were we thinking?

The issue is not the ordering, it is that it contains tweets from people i am not following. Before i could hide those by muting suggest_activity_tweet and suggest_recycled_tweet_inline This does not seem to work anymore
