Seattle has seen a 90% rise in traffic deaths over the past decade—spiking in 2020, the year SPD largely stopped enforcing traffic laws. Citations dropped from 27,953 in 2019 to just 5,487 in 2024 (-80%). Drivers know there’s no enforcement—and drive like it. It’s time to bring back traffic enforcement. @MayorofSeattle @Sara4Council @SeattlePD

Probablemente, el mejor vehículo para realizar servicios de cercanías. Esteticamente, no es la más bonita del corral, pero a nivel de conducción, la unidad que más frena/acelera y encima, si está reluciente, mejor aun 🥰

(Voy a hacer de abogado del diablo, a ver la que me cae por decir esto): La diferencia quizá (¿?) es que la persona que llega a Cataluaña ya sabiendo español tiene ese ventaja de que 'sólo' le queda aprender catalán. Alguien que acaba de llegar de uno de esos países que dices sin hablar español, tiene por delante el aprendizaje de los dos idiomas, y (al menos en la Barcelona metropolitana), guste o no guste lo más pragmático y probable es que empiecen intentando aprender español..

Argentina recién llegada a Barcelona explica su experiencia con el catalán. Os aseguro que si fuera de Senegal, Marruecos, Pakistán o China hubieran tenido mucha más paciencia con ella. El color de piel, la religión o la lengua materna determina mucho el trato que recibes en BCN.

@vista_vixens @Cobylefko The Colosseum in its current state is majestic and iconic. I'm still baffled someone in the comments said it needs to be restored to its original condition...

@InakiLonga @Cobylefko been to rome twice and idk the colosseum being kept as ruins feels different than choosing to build ugly stuff today like ones about respecting what was the others about not even trying

Almost everything in this image was built in the last 30 years. Building beautiful cities is a choice, one that so many places have curiously shunned

American rented a vehicle for $50 a day for 17 days from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the cost was $850.00 But then came the fees… - Sales Tax: $92.47 - Concession Recovery Fee: $98.42 - Customer Facility Charge: $45 - Tourism Commission Assessment Rec: $29.75 - Vehicle License Assessment Recovery Fee: $29.75 Estimated Total: $1,151.51 That’s $301.51 in taxes and fees to rent a vehicle This should be illegal

This is what I said too: it makes no sense they'd place the vehicle that far from the belt. Throwing up in the air a medium-sized bag of 50 lbs requires a *lot* of strength. How many of those bags can a person possibly throw like that before they are exhausted or injured themselves?

That’s not typical. Those guys are gonna throw out their backs if they keep parking that far from the bag belt. But your bag is gonna get thrown multiple times, on the belt, in the cart, fall off the cart and into the plane because the cargo bins are so deep. If you want you bag treated like a carton of eggs it would take an extra hour to load/offload the plane.

🚨 LEAKED FOOTAGE FROM O’HARE AIRPORT BAG ROOM — THIS IS WHAT THEY DO TO YOUR LUGGAGE WHEN YOU’RE NOT LOOKING Suitcases getting LAUNCHED full force like garbage. No hesitation. No care. Just straight impact. This is the same bag you trust with everything you packed… getting thrown like this. And airlines still charge you extra for it. This isn’t a mistake. It’s routine. So when your bag shows up cracked open, items missing, or completely destroyed… was it ever “lost”… or just handled like this the entire time? How many times has YOUR bag been treated like this?

huh is this video real? You must be pretty damn strong to throw up in the air a medium-size suitcase of 50 lbs (23kg)... It also makes zero sense that they would not bring the vehicle with the suircases a lot closer to the conveyor belts. How long can a human sustain this? Half a plane?

The UK is missing a regional tier of govt. Draw them how you want, but multi-county regions of 3-8m people or so with powers from both below and above, assemblies, and empowered leaders *with real budgets* would be a start. WM takes 15% VAT, region takes 5%, both can raise/lower, etc. Regions set/keep proportional property taxes. Then if the NW want a high tax, high spend system, they can have it - but they pay for it. Central govt hands over things like local policing, NHS, schools, etc, focuses on defence, law, foreign policy, major infra, and so on. Fixed payments for each person, plus development grants for poorer regions. Our regions often have quite different political priorities and tilts, so let's give them the chance to see if they work in practice. It may also help parliament become a serious legislature again, rather than hyperlocalised social workers. These reforms don't go nearly far enough, at present. Give proper tax and budget setting powers.

NEW Blimey - devolution of some proportion of income tax to some city regions - ie to back incentives for growing cities: Chancellor announces “roadmap for future fiscal devolution to be published at this year's budget” to give “regional leaders control of a share of some national taxes which have for too long been allocated by central governments.” “They will look at income tax alongside other taxes with reforms initially targeted at those places have the greatest capacity to deliver them and the greatest potential to benefit. Now this is not about new taxes, and it's not about higher tax rates, I will not ask taxpayers to pay more. Reforms will be fiscally neutral, …these reforms will represent a permanent transfer of power and resources, not another exercise in local ambition frustrated by central government control, with taxpayers able to see what is being delivered with their money and to hold local leaders to account for the results what I am describing is a genuine break with the past, a generational opportunity for Britain's regions to make their own future”.

@Adalfe_ 100% Yo siempre he dicho lo mismo: en EEUU menos mal que las generaciones pasadas construyeron cosas como el Metro de NYC o el BART de San Francisco, porque hoy en día sería absolutamente imposible construirlas.

És significatiu que ara cap ciutat construiria línies de metro quadriplicades (encara menys als EUA), però fa 100 anys van tenir l'ambició i la visió de futur de fer-ho així. Una bona mostra de l'enorme confiança en el ferrocarril que es tenia abans de l'aparició dels cotxes.

Bon diagrama del Metro de Nova York, el més destacat de la xarxa és l'existència de línies troncals de 4 vies, on s'alternen serveis locals i exprés.

@alanthefisher I wouldn't say 'it doesn't work here'. If it existed, it would work. But I would say "it cannot be built here". We can no longer build any infrastructure projects, in particular transit ones.

there are so many astroturfed conservatives against CAHSR because the second that there is a working train between 2 cities in the US that can hit 200mph it is fundamentally over for the argument of "that doesn't work here" The oil lobby will do everything possible to stop that

Running on Ocean Beach -and running over to the STUNNING Thornton Beach during low tide- was once of my favorite things to do in San Francisco when I lived there. The summer months were typically not great and often foggy, but the rest of the year more often than not it was gorgeous clear skies.

It’s honestly wild to me that across all levels of government -federal, state, county, local- there isn’t a single clear database of who is a U.S. citizen. Before I naturalized, I got jury duty notices twice (which non-citizens legally can’t serve). Each time I had to mail back “not a citizen” to be excused. How do courts -and any government agencies- not already know this?

@RepTeresaLF Yes, this is bc we do not require citizenship to drive, so drivers license alone does not prove the citizenship requirement to vote.

Of all the setups we have seen in the last days (e.g., people sitting on the floor on the grass with a laptop), this one is actually one that is workable: somewhat ergonomic setup (including a laptop mat), seems to have shade / no glare. Plus, I personally do get inspiration from a place with a great view than one without it. Like a high-rise in a city.

@RrnRaindeer @gotravelyourway I often take Air France flights from/to Bilbao, which use terminal 2G. It's a pain in the butt. The terminal is small, has few amenities and options of things to do, and feelsl like some temporary annex that has stayed there for too long.

@InakiLonga @gotravelyourway If you connect between two Air France flights, the connecting experience is actually OK in CDG terminal 2F for medium haul and 2E for long haul). Departing/arriving Paris via CDG is worse. And mixing two companies for a connection in CDG is literal hell.
