Racism itself doesn't make you stupid, the mental gyrations you have to go through to maintain it dull your ability to reason. Though some on the other side blaming racism for everything seem to have a a similar, though more limited, problem.
If you're a techie long enough, you eventually realize there are some things tech is fantastic for, some things it's hit or miss on, other things it should never need be applied to. It sounds like you've discovered that already.
All I see from the article is " it will cost a lot, and we will charge you a monthly fee to do what you do now for free. The benefit is it saves the DMV time and effort". If so, why are the end users paying for it?

Also, "There is literally no situation that I can think of where a person in a car is preferable to a person on a scooter." I can think of a bunch just off the top of my head Freeway, Long travel going to another state. rain.... Finally: Venice , CA is simply a haven for homeless and tourists.

I hear this a lot, but really the only Californians you hate are the loud opinionated ones who move and demand everyone be like them. They're so in control of the State, they can't imagine being anywhere where everyone doesn't think like them. I'm from California, and have lived in various places in my life. I've always viewed the concept as being a guest, even if I had planned to stay. Don't bitch at the locals, don't make a big scene, don't complain about how much it isn't like California. Just shut up, observe, and enjoy yourself. Try something new.
I'm the kind of person you wouldn't notice. Which is odd, as it makes me more tolerant of things than the normal crowd of diversity fanatics.
This is the attitude I despise: "Not only are you wrong about your issue, but you're being crazy complaining about it. In fact, you should thank us for it!".
I've sometimes wondered if cities over a certain size shouldn't just become a city-state, separate from the surrounding state. I hear this complain in many states with large cities: California, Nevada, Illinois, New York, etc.
The guy writing the original article writes for the LA times. Anyone reading that would know he was referring to the local Venice and not the Italian one. It's not the article writers fault this got picked up by slashdot.
It's like if you live in Texas and you're talking a friend about Paris, Texas which happens to be 3 miles from you. You wouldn't constantly say "Paris, Texas". you'd assume the local one.
They keep trying that, they call it a "road diet". You replace a lane with a mixed use lane, nobody uses the mixed use lane, the car lane gets clogged up and they realize it's a waster of space.
He said candidates, not elected officials, so I'm guessing you can find some list of guys somewhere that fall under that. It's like naming a list of candidates of left handed Cherokee shamans.
The only state that can constantly harp on homelessness and worry about housing people-which is a serious issue here-AND simultaneously mandate raising the cost of building new housing. Though I'm sure its' there in other states too. And yes, I know, you'll say "but but they only mandated for new housing, and the poor can't afford that!" Think a bit and you'll have an answer.
The concept itself, striking a deal with Iran to keep them from working on Nuclear weapons, is itself good. The execution, however, was terrible. Still is. For example: https://www.wsj.com/articles/i...
You must be fun at a party: You know what, I play the lottery. Two dollars every time it gets high. My odds of winning? Effectively zero. But you know what, that two bucks gives me a little bit of mental gymnastics to play with on what I might do if I won. Which I know I won't. Do I buy ten, twenty, fifty? No. I buy one.
This i don't get. If you're the kind of person who buys a lot from amazon, you can easily make the minimum number on your purchases. And if you're not , then the prime price doesn't make sense. I guess it's people buying one toothbrush every day...

There should be some sort of middle ground between your narrative and complete state surveillance.

Freeway,

If it was a newspaper article from one town over from Hollywood, FL, then you probably would leave off the FL.
Your assumption that everyone who disagrees with you is a giant Trump fan is wrong.
Stop viewing everything as binary, or a two dimensional continuum.

People like to cite survival of the fittest until they're not the fittest . Then it's all "oh, but wait, my case is special!".

It also causes greater issues. People become unwilling to negotiate when they believe the other side is approaching the debate as he is.

If you use a cart of TP every month, you've got bigger problems than figuring out if prime is worth it.
So what you're saying is "I'm moral when it's convenient."
