Look, this guy is an awful human being but if you’re “Against capital punishment except for people I really really hate”, then you’re not against capital punishment.

AUSA = Assistant United States Attorney = DOJ (aka federal) employee

Nice, thank you! That’s plenty of detail to figure it out, I ran through it and it looks like it would only add about an hour to my drive.

There is work to be done in divided government if they accept that situation and find points of common ground. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I use my turn signal religiously and honestly people deliberately cutting me off for it is pretty rare. Better to be safer and a little inconvenienced than to be another unpredictable car on the road.

I’m honestly not sure I ever have, do you have examples of some? I think I’ve only ever seen the ones that need a button press to turn on.

Sounds great until you’re in the passenger seat. Or on a bus. I do think phone use by drivers is insane and we’ve gotta curb it somehow, but unfortunately it’s not so simple as just detecting speed.

If you drove anywhere in the first 6 months or so of the pandemic you know that there was a huge change in the number of people driving, so this nitpicking isn’t really relevant here.

I think about that a lot, glad to see someone else has noticed it too. I don’t think it’s the main or only issue, but I definitely feel more pressure to shave time off when I can see an ETA going up or down. If it’s a route I know well and I don’t have it on, then I don’t care about a minute here or there.

Seriously, that blew my mind when I first learned about it. Imagine our infrastructure being built with that kind of future-proofing today.

Sure, but an AUSA is not the DC judicial system. That was what you responded to.
