  • They had a $14.5 billion debt of as of march last year. Servicing that at the super low interest rates of the past decade was so well and good, but that time is over, and now those lenders want their pound of flesh.

  • How is it even possible/practical to obey traffic laws?

  • Well that sent me down a random Wikipedia dive.

    In the United Kingdom, stop signs may only be placed at junctions with tramways or sites with severely restricted visibility.[30] Until 2016, each stop sign had to be individually approved by the Secretary of State for Transport.[31][32] This requirement was removed by the 2016 amendments to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions;[33][34] the responsibility for approving stop signs now lies with local authorities

    I remember Tom Scott did a video about a really dangerous junction with one a few years ago. The road layout there has now been fixed so it's not needed.

    I've never seen one in the wild though.

  • Same in the UK. But here most signs are 'give way' so there can be confusion when there's an actual stop sign.

  • I don't think that I agree about no one listening to ukip. So their height they were picking up MPs at bi-elections and had about 13% of the vote at General. The fear the Tories had of them splitting the right vote in my opinion was a key reason why Cameron put the Brexit referendum into his 2015 manifesto.

  • They are leaving.

    Drexit (“Doctor-Exit”) is the exponentially growing trend for doctors to walk away from their jobs in the NHS, either to new healthcare systems overseas such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand or perhaps worse, into new professions altogether, leaving behind their well trained medical brains. This exodus has been gaining momentum for several years with the workforce now at breaking point.

    Four in 10 junior doctors are actively planning to quit the NHS as soon as they can find another job, according to a survey by the British Medical Association. The survey, released as part of the BMA chair of council Prof Philip Banfield’s new year message, found poor pay and working conditions were among the main reasons for junior doctors wanting to leave.

  • Isn't the old joke that the average speed of traffic London has been about 15mph since the 1800's. (ie you're not going any faster now than when horses were the main means of transport)

    1. The increased journey time is to encourage people to find alternatives. It needs to be alongside improving public transport. If it it currently takes 6 by train from London to Edinburgh but 7 by car, you're more tempted to drive than if the train to 4 hours and car took 10 hours.
    2. less cars in the roads reduce their wear. Plus dedicated cycle paths narrowing them also do this. I also don't think I even raised this as a point.
    3. yes. You attack from both sides. But this is meant to be a controversial opinion so I just talked about the stick part of a carrot and stick approach.
    4. yes. That's the point.

    1. reduces in city pollution.
    2. reduces road deaths. https://youtu.be/HeUX6LABCEA (this is 40 to 30, we extend that to 20 and she's probably not even going to be hit)
    3. reduces overall carbon pollution
    4. if done alongside improving public transport, walkability and cycle paths it encourages more people to use alternative transport than cars.

  • All roads in the UK that are currently 30mph limits should be lowered to 20mph, and those at 40 lowered to 30. There should be a systematic review of those at 50 whether they should be 40. National speed limit should be lowered by 10mph.
