Why American Cities are Designed to Bankrupt You

Every pre-tax benefit offered by your employer reduces your taxable income, which in turn reduces your social security benefits later on. You're essentially borrowing from future, elderly you.

Every sidewalk bicyclist is a vote for protected bike lanes.

This goes for cats, too. You know the rules.

Firing liberals over stuff right-wingers get away with every day is truly honoring Charlie Kirk's legacy.

I vaguely recall an automotive fatality at an earlier date, can anyone confirm? Or am I misremembering some other unfortunate vehicular anniversary?

The 4 stages of #bicycle consciousness: 1. Bikes are obstacles (outright bans) 2. Bikes are toys (OK, your kids can ride around their subdivision) 3. Bikes are exercise (paths in parks that you drive to) 4. Bikes are transportation (you can mostly get from A to B without risking death)
