And it wouldn’t even be all that hard to make US roads safer and save those lives. It only SEEMS “hard” because the US has chosen to make it hard, in part because they’ve convinced themselves those deaths are unavoidable.
All they’d have to do to change all that is change their minds. That’s it.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

“Electric cars are no more dangerous for pedestrians than petrol and diesel models, researchers find.”
They’re also no safer. Which reminds us that “better cars” aren’t the main answer to the consequences of cars. The main answer is fewer (and smaller) cars driven less frequently in better cities.

Yes, I am in the process of switching to Fedora 43 right now. So far almost everything works with few gaps with particular outliers being Apple Music/Apple TV & Autodesk Maya (but that is only officially supported on RHEL and Rocky)
