Why don't we want that? We will never escape a little unfairness, and we don't need to. Telling a kid that their only path out of poverty is to be an engineer or schoolteacher, but art historian is not an option -- I would love for that to be the worst of our social problems.

Whatever the merits of the idea, a tv celebrity yelling is not releveant evidence. We can't all follow her path of selling self help books to riches

How very undemocratic of you. Sometimes the law from top down is incorrect. The experiences of stakeholders matters.

Sad and interesting. I rear ended a vehicle who turned into my lane, and the officer cited the other driver for an unsafe turn.

I guess it depends on officer mood and how long the car was safely in your lane before the breaking. Mostly officer mood.

Still, there are lots of completely legal sudden braking activities that would cause a collision over 10% of the time. People don't actually drive totally defensively all the time.

It is a stupid road. Built for speed, legistlated for slow. The road should be modified to make traffic calmer.

If tailgating is dangerous, in the sense that it is involved in a collision, the law finds the tailgater responsible 99% of cases. It just isn't applied predictively.

So, instead of 5 extra minutes of ads, you get 5 extra minutes of bad content. Is that a win?

1. People like well targeted ads for their shopping intent.

2. YouTube autoplay and recommendations and subscriptions. And these days, youtube channels are even buying YouTube ads..
