Jaywalking is a fake crime invented by the auto industry to blame the victims of how cars make our streets unsafe.

He'll announce something superficially positive and they'll come back to him. The American "independent" voter is a gullible fool - they always have been.

Wero now, please. I like iDeal and would love that to be more normal. I don't like Visa or Mastercard, and don't think credit purchasing should be normal.

I moved to the Netherlands ~6 months ago. It is really that good. But Dutch people don't value what they have and many are becoming carbrained assholes. Endless government funding for highways and roads, but less for public transit. People driving 400m instead of walking. It's disappointing to watch the Dutch be brainwashed by car advertising.
