It’s almost like the disunity with europe is part of some targeted effort

You don’t do it by appeasing then and allowing them to invade neighbors.

We were making Russia a geopolitical ally. Russia decided to invade Ukraine. Appeasement met with backstabbing.

The bully that starts the war doesn’t need to be appeased to stop the war. They need to be defeated.

History tells this is the only way. Appeasement just drags the way out until the bully bullies again.

There are some great examples of cycle lane design out there. And some atrocious examples of cycle lanes that have been built. But that’s a separate rant.

If we had a quality cycle lane network, we could have adapted that to support “more than walking, less that driving” lanes without much issue.

The earlier we invest in this new class of highway the cheaper and easier it will be.

It’s almost as if we don’t all have to pick a team and support everything they do. This isn’t sports all, this is politics.

I can support trans-rights, hate the Rwanda plan and like nuclear if i want to.
