I am actually reading the “Curbing Traffic” book for the first time, but this paragraph feels like a more articulate version of what I say on here every time someone talks about “enforcement” as a solution to traffic woes.
What threats has Putin made to EU?
I voted to remain in EU and live in an EU country.
I currently consider it unwise & imprudent for the UK (where I still vote) to try to rejoin EU while warmongering Ursula vd Leyen & Kaja Kallas are at the helm.
Ah! "reverse engineered" is the expression I was looking for...
Why Musk's sudden interest in British towns and villages?
Didn't China buy an earlier iteration of Nvidia?
No matter... it will have been disintegrated (or whatever the process is called) by now, and China will be working on an upgraded upgrade...
It's quite old-plate photographic in some ways - frozen, no movement...
Not sure the present is being especially kind...
Tucker Carlson gave him a proper drubbing, not long ago.
I spend longer on this site than on the other, but I will continue to visit the other while those whose communication I enjoy remain only there.
Not strictly true.

That should alarm everyone.
Taxes can also help drive the economy! And can contribute to much-needed redistribution of wealth...
I may dredge a few more from my memory... like

There once was a lady from Exeter
so pretty that men craned their necks at her.
One was even so brave
as to take out and wave
the distinguishing mark of his sex at her.
I have to say that it was my very dear departed lover who imparted that gem... I doubt it was penned by him... but he did mix with some very adept wordsters, back in the day...
When Titian was mixing rose madder,
His model posed nude on a ladder.
The position, to Titian,
Suggested coition,
So he leapt up the ladder and had her.
Two heartwarming & serendipitous reminders of my faraway youth 🙏

In Pl Rḗpublique I greeted a guitar-strumming acquaintance - who proceeded to serenade me with Elton's Your Song

After walking on air all the way home, I came across this interview. What a woman!
Elton John - Your Song (Top Of The Pops 1971)

Thanks for your explanation.
I weep for US "democracy"...
I know it's not great in Europe either; but at least our politicians don't harp on about it - as if it really still existed...
Not American but from what I can tell, it seems pretty easy to research the funding of any candidate.
Seems to me that no decent democrat (from any party) should vote for anyone accepting AIPAC (or adjacent) funding...
Great hopes from another desperate continent 🙏🏼
No good just lazily railing against "republicans and conservatives".
Each one in each constituency must be named & shamed according to what they have been recorded as saying.
And the person standing in your constituency needs to be positive about better policies to improve people's lives...
Agree generally - but only a very few EU countries have shown any independent thinking:
-Italy's dockers 👏👏👏🏽
-Spain
-Austria???
Them's the breaks in this neoliberal capitalist world.
It stinks.
We all know there's a better, fairer option - but on the other hand, very few helpful, decent people can/want/afford to run for office...
