WASHINGTON—Citing that a majority of Americans are irresponsible, easily distracted people who have little regard for other human beings, a new Department of Transportation report revealed Wednesday that it’s “actually kind of crazy” that U.S. citizens are allowed to drive automobiles. “Americans make millions of mind-boggling, idiotic mistakes every day, and when taking into consideration the sheer amount of lives that could be lost due to just the slightest human error while driving, it’s actually pretty goddamn shocking that we let citizens operate 4,000-pound machines capable of going 200 mph,” the report read in part, later adding that if one truly thinks about who their neighbors, friends, and children are as people, the absolute last thing one would be comfortable with would be them merging onto a busy highway with cars traveling 85 mph.
Somewhat related, I'm always highly amused (read: fucking annoyed) at increased security proposals for rail mass transit systems. At the two Dem conventions I attended, they shut down the subway and light rail systems for security reasons. One can blow up a train and inflict reasonable amount of damage, but that's pretty hard to do. Anyone can weaponize a bus. Just, you know, start driving it into people and things.
