17 days agoA primary function of Capitalism is to concentrate wealth. Preferably in as few hands as possible. Regulation is required to keep that from happening, particularly to such extents that cash/speech proxy crosses the threshold beyond which private citizens are no longer bound by State controls.
We probably blew through that tipping point sometime in 2012-2016, so now the train is off the tracks.
You’re just making an argument for better regulations and testing. Let’s start with elderly drivers, who are no longer physically and mentally capable of the maneuvering required to operate a vehicle at speed. Anyone over 65 should have to retest on a regular schedule. And when they fail, they lose their car too.
And all of this is an argument for effective and reliable PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
