This is very interesting (and yeah, I also had an initial “oh come on, that’s nuts” reaction to the first part of this article, but as I read on, I realized he was making some pretty compelling points)
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

If you make a big form to collect data, you absolutely need to include at least one opportunity for the end users to report if the form is broken. Questions get broken, links die, things get weird. These impact the data you collect immensely, and you need an opportunity to find out if it's happening

If you are looking to ruffle some feathers at the dinner table, try asking your SUV or Truck driving family member questions like:
Do you tow anything besides ego?
How many laptops can that rig haul?
Do you need a special license or is the little one ok?

I find this completely believable since "Improved" doesn't mean "sufficient".
and even if it's sufficient, the enormous subsidies to driving remain. My bus could come every 5 minutes and yet I'd still be paying for my bus pass while my colleagues who drive are given $200/mo parking passes free

These non-coercive measures need to be combined with measures such as higher driving costs or reduced car access to have an effect

ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

it’s pretty simple: you can either induce demand for things that suck and people hate (traffic), or you can do it for things that are good (bikes, the McRib)
The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.
