Because these types of posts are not individual stories but part of a larger narrative that must be dispelled. This and the stupid handwringing about SHSAT and phantom discrimination in higher ed.

Insurance, registration, helmets, do it the right way. Go after stores/ sellers of fire prone batteries.

They’re hypocrites, they want everyone else to follow the laws except them. Traffic signs and lights are just suggestions for them. Asking them to contribute anything financially sets them off.

The difference between you and me: my job doesn't define who I am, and I am confident of my place in the world. Good luck to you..

While we're at it, why don't we ban cars?

NYC pubic sector unions opposed universal singe-payer because they wanted to have better healthcare than your average New York taxpayer. I’m supposed to have sympathy for them?

I'll just preface this by saying I condemn all hate crimes of any sort and stand with my brothers and sisters in the AAPI community.

With that said, here we go with the hundreds of hArD-wOrKinG moDeL mInOrItY dog whistling, racist comments.

I mean, that sub also openly advocates for destroying property so it’s not really surprising.

Meanwhile over at /r/MicromobilityNYC, there is a steady stream of people reporting that their apartments have banned these kinds of batteries and commenters there are sharing tips on how to secretly get around the ban.
