    You sound suspiciously like someone who suggests people who don't lock their doors deserve to be burglarized and that the burglar was just exposing a security flaw.

    A larger problem is simply the physical nature of biking in those temps. What percentage of the working population could do that on a daily basis and how far?

    No one is going to bike to work in 3 feet of snow and/or 12 degrees.
    No one is going to bike to work in driving rain.
    No one is going to bike to work in 100+ degree temps. If they do, you won't want to be around them

    This fantasy that some people have of everyone biking around the city like in China or some small Italian town is ridiculous. Very few places have a climate and the layout that is conducive to this. Austin has already wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars on this garbage already. Forget it.

    Live by automated trading, die by automated trading.

    At my company, we have multiple people check everything that goes on the servers, before and after. Comparisons are made against the repository, the QA server and each production server to ensure they are all the same. Having production at a stand still costs us quite a bit, but not $400 million.

    "I'd love to see the Tesla sales numbers from big cities vs the rest of the state."

    Fixed.

    In all those itty bitty northeastern states, where you can spit from one state to another, having charging stations plentiful enough is easy. But in Texas, once you get out of the big cities, even for gas you need to at least think a bit ahead.

    Can't you pin heads get it through your thick skulls that there is no law in Texas that says Tesla can't sell cars here. They just have to do it like everyone else. Sure, Tesla tried to be exempted and THAT failed, but Texas law doesn't give a rats ass about Tesla or any other particular car dealer. They are all the same...as it should be.

    If you the dealership laws changed, change them for everyone.

    Your statement was that you could not create a law that addressed the fact that 30 million are without insurance and not impact the other 270 million. Clearly you fail because laws that affect only the target population are passed all the time.

    The Food Stamp laws do not require that I do anything unless I need them. So clearly that law does not affect me. I am not forced to purchase anything. I don't have to prove to the IRS that I purchased anything. I will not pay a penalty for not purchasing anything.

    The same kind of legislation could be created for Health Insurance. But, evidently, you think like Big Government.

    Wrong.

    Do you think Food Stamps are for everybody or just those eligible due to income?

    Same thing with potential legislation for health insurance. If you can't afford it, then this (theoretical) legislation is applicable.

    Didn't really pass the House. It was "Deemed" to have passed, whatever the fuck that means.

    Also, it is a tax bill (Robert's said so) and it originated in the Senate so it is defacto unconstitutional. We'll see how that plays out. Don't be surprised to see the Democrats want it both ways.
