- This just seems to be complete bullshit rumormongering. Biden is still walking around fine. I think he did the right thing dropping out, and should have done it sooner, but he’s not crippled, he’s not incapacitated. He’s got a fucking lifelong speech impediment that became more pronounced.
- Yet again, I am a die-hard congestion pricing supporter who is still shocked at just HOW successful it’s been in such a short amount of time. It’s so incredibly rare to see something work this well this fast!
