Taking a look at Russia, they should keep asking themselves the question, is it really worth it?

This is why we are committed to supplying Ukraine. It's costing Russia everything. Pride is not worth the price of admission. China should ask Putin. In the end, China will benefit more from buying up Russian assets on the cheap instead.

By-law people in my city dress and look like cops. Right down to the bullet-proof vests they wear. Had some show up at our house last spring but no one was home. Thought they were cops from the doorbell cam. Was a few anxious days wondering why they had been here until they showed back up again.

(Our street facing backyard fences were too high. We had just moved in to the house and our neighbors called for some fucking reason.)

If they didn't have any identifying marks on their clothes saying they're police and didn't identify themselves as police I'd find it hard to believe they'd be arrested for wearing a tactical vest and pants.

It's not like the police have unique uniforms for the most part, especially when they wear tactical gear.

A day doesn't go by that i don't see a cyclist running a red.. rolling through a stop.. right at red light when it says "no right on red".. or a variety of moving violations. I would say it's a bad apple that spoils the bunch but more like 50 apples spoil 200.

I will say if we had bike lanes throughout the busier cities and suburbs... we would all be 1000% better off.

The one thing that should be illegal is cyclists in a 45-50+. Uphill, going 20? Someone is going to die and 99/100 it won't be the Ford 350 that just changed lanes.
