Totally unrelated, I'm sure, but I think about the Covid brain damage thing a lot. Like once a year would put people at 4 or 5 infections by now. Not to mention, there's definitely poor bastards up in the double digits already.

I keep waiting for new car accident/fatality rate data to see if it has kept trending upwards since 2022 tbh

You know I've seen people say that people's driving got like significantly worse since the pandemic began / whatever extent to which lockdowns happened in their area. I only learned to drive this year so I can't say for sure, but I do frequently see people just straight up trying to die in their cars. Like an eighth of the people I glance at in their cars are driving along with a phone in their hand. The other day somebody zoomed past me at like 55mph in a 35 over double yellow lines on a blind corner. I was certain I was about to watch some people die.

Pretty sure the trains are still derailing though, just not as much poisoning.🤞

so-far

Death to America

[–] booty@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

There was an oil spill but no immediate injuries

You know, except for anything that happened to be in the water where the oil was spilled? Injuries only for the victims and not the dumbasses who perpetrated the crime is a bad thing, not a good thing

Is it still Infrastructure week in America?

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

They were just topping up the oil levels in the bay. If the ratio of water:oil gets too high, they run afoul of the Keep Texas Waterways Oily Act of 2023.

Bridge futures are up
