The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.

Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries.

If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes.

It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn.

Me, in Bloomberg 🧡

Last week, at the Allegheny elks Lodge, people in front of me in line were drinking as they waited for fish. I was so jealous I had to wait until we got a seat inside to order a drink lol

Costco CEO says any tariff refunds it gets will flow back to members through 'lower prices and better values' Costco challenges the US government over IEEPA tariffs, with CEO Ron Vachris pledging to pass refund benefits to members.

Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.

It's so painfully obvious when I get copilot written things at work. And it's never good, like the people doing it don't even read the output before sending it on.

Pew Research survey of 25 countries asking people whether their fellow citizens are morally good or bad.

Not sure I expected the US and Canada to be at the literal two opposite extremes!

Big differences in Europe too that I don’t totally understand.

This drives me absolutely bonkers. Headlines continue to try to make positives out of things that should be negatives. It’s only one segment of the population that gets this treatment too.

For years, I've suspected anyone in an SUV with fully tinted windows to be an asshole, but now we must also consider that they are federal assholes.

The pedestrian bridge is what I believe NS' concession to the city was. Though I agree the city probably could've held out for more.

Bus operator gets $19-$23.50/hr, or $38k-47k/year. So the bonus alone is more.

With a base of about $310k, its about 10x more than the starting salary of an operator all in.
