well...she's kinda right? on top of paying more property tax (rent?) she will make more money from more customers, putting her into a higher tax bracket and costing her even more in personal income taxes. Someone has to take a minute and think this crazy plan through.

Every crash is an infrastructure, policy, and design failure.

At a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

The freedoms associated with a personal automobile are sacrosanct. What right does a pedestrian have to a street? The purpose of a street is to facilitate the expedient flow of traffic, nothing more. God bless civil engineers, for they are divine creatures who have done no wrong.

Every crash is a policy failure, but it is never the fault of the driver. Every pedestrian, cyclist, or building who ever collided with a vehicle must be held to account, especially if they survive.

My prayers are with the terminally carbrained, for they are the most valuable among us.

Cars are way more valuable than bikes though. My former co-worker was using us about how his new leasing deal was way cheaper than buying a car, and even without insurance and fuel, my thought was that I could by a new bike every week for that money. And not a cheap bike either. So yeah, by the even more divine logic of capitalism, cars are more valuable than bikes, and pedestrians are essentially worthless unless they're on crutches or something.

oh leasing is so much better than buying! except for that bit at the end of the lease where you no longer have the money or the car.

As dumb as this seems she literally has no choice but to do it. The victims (justifiably) want her on the hook for damages, she has no means of paying it, so her only option is a frivolous lawsuit to foist the financial burden onto an entity that does. You see this happen all the time with injuries; people get injured, can't pay hospital bills, sue the place they got injured regardless of how stupid their argument is. If there's even a chance you win it's life-changing. Same for the victims; someone has to foot the bill as presumably insurance is dancing around paying for it if they need to sue her.

In a just world the government would pay for it, jail her, and she'd work off some debt to society and go back to her normal life. But you can't arrest drivers for any wrongdoing, or even take away their license.






Just kidding, in a just world she wouldn't have had a car in the first place and none of this would have been possible.

Not sure how I feel about that lawsuit; in Ontario (and I think a lot of other places) there is precedent that a venue can be liable for your actions after leaving if intoxication at that venue is a factor.

But lmao, of course it's London. That city is a benighted shithole and easily the most disgustingly car-centric place I've ever lived. She might have gotten a more serious sentence in Toronto, but London is not a city that fucks with drivers' rights, for any reason.
