  1. She's rich and famous and has writing talent but I don't put any special weight on her opinions on gender issues. It's not like she's a medical or scientific specialist on the subject.
  2. Sometimes people with physical or old age issues are invited to sit in the driver's compartment. There is a wide range of so called disability. Obviously wheelchairs are a problem but many older people and others are just slower and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect drivers to accommodate them.
  3. It wasn't a fall. While sitting I was thrown into a sharp metal object that was part of the interior of the bus which resulted in cuts and a lot of bleeding. I wouldn't call it a serious injury though. It was just surprising that such a thing could happen just sitting on a bus and no collision either just by reckless driving.
  4. As far as where to place prisoners, I think the rational, humane approach is to make an evaluation on an individual basis. Obviously with the majority of people who are cisgender there is nothing to consider. But for the minority that isn't, there are a number of things to consider on an individual basis and such decisions do NOT fit into a mindless boilerplate one size fits all system. I'm not talking about coddling anyone. Just being rational. The maga fascist now official government policy that transgender people don't even exist is extremely cruel and extremely stupid.
  5. So your argument is because I thought that the strong man authoritarian Trump wouldn't win that my criticism of his policies and picks is made null. This is a pattern I've seen by the sore winners brigade. They actually think winning makes them or dear leader right and that critics are now compelled to shut up, or if not to be harassed and insulted or in the case of Trump's armed militias (now made above the law like Trump himself) like the Proud Boys actively threatened with violence or actual violence. At the same time they crow about free speech and how the maga moverment isn't fascist. No no no.
  6. Thank God the government of Thailand has moved forward from the tired old moronic homophobic tropes found on this topic. Hey, if you don't like it -- Russia wants you!
  7. I doubt he will do that and even if he did I doubt he has the competence to manage and effectively use them. He's only there as a yes man for Trump.
  8. You think that stuffed suit from Fox weekends has a best mind? OMG!
  9. Mostly PENSION income remitted that is exempt under DTA, no need to declare. Though of course some types of pension income are not exempt.
  10. Horrific but predictable. One of the important jobs in the world yet zero qualifications. Congratulations magas.
  11. If this was the west he might have a good temporary insanity defense but it's not the west.
  12. Yes. Unfortunately. My Dad gave me a Corvair at age 16. The death trap car. I have to wonder if my Dad wanted to kill me. My next car wasn't much better. A total junker that cost a few hundred dollars. A Dodge but I forget the model. Driving it to school in bad weather was harrowing. Yes I needed to drive as no school bus and a two hour walk away.
  13. With the new evidence about arguing and custody conflict I don't see how the justice system can view this as a simple case of idiotic horseplay. That does not wash.
  14. Won't happen but I have a solution. Double the fare and hire 100 undercover inspectors to ride the buses day and night. Rate driver performance and safety behavior. Eject all drivers with multiple faults. Higher price but better service for the public. Sorted.
  15. Definitely. It's a minority but a dangerous minority.
  16. How Hundreds Of Americans End Up Illegally Detained In U.S. Immigration System : The Two-Way : NPR Don't freak out, but I agree with you that Biden was crap on this issue, and tried to repair it too late.
  17. One time I even suffered a bloody injury just SITTING on a bus because the driver took an extremely jerky very high speed turn throwing everyone on the bus off balance. (It threw me into a sharp metal part of the bus.)
  18. You are naive. Such citizen deportations have happened before but with a historic mass deportation of many millions as Trump promises, they will happen a lot more. As they will tend to not be maga white people, don't expect the maga movement to care about that.
  19. Then they better hurry. I rate it highly unlikely this season at all.
  20. More like an actual taxi (Bolt, etc.). But really the drivers are SUPPOSED to look back to see what's happening. Not going to blame the victims.
