The CAFE act caused most of these changes and was signed by Clinton in the early '90s. Obama may have made things worse, but the roots of the problem go back much further

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•ICE Barbie Went on Bungled Raid Storming Pregnant Mom’s Home2·19 hours agoSure, but plenty of people get to see and agree before that happens.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Finland to fine parents if their underage child drives an e-scooterEnglish4·19 hours agoMost people cannot ride a bike at anywhere close to the speeds that an e-bike can hit. I pass professional cycling teams daily on my e-bike because I can do 20mph. The average professional cyclist seems to struggle to maintain 15+mph. I only get passed by a normal bicycle maybe once every few months, and those guys and gals have gastrocnemius’ that are about as big as my waist. My current e-bike has just under 2500 miles on the odo, my previous one blew up at just over 11,000 miles. Oh, and technically both e-bikes could do 25 mph, that just wears out the motor in less than 1000 miles.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Finland to fine parents if their underage child drives an e-scooterEnglish2·20 hours agoRegular bikes don’t have a motor. E-bikes and e-scooters do have a motor. Some regulation on e-bikes may be needed, but regular bikes have been regulated as much as is needed. Maybe a helmet law, but even that seems unnecessary.
Only with certain perks on the speechcraft skill tree unlocked. Before that the shopkeepers only buy what they sell. At least in Skyrim

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•National Guard troops have temporarily detained civilians in LA protests, commander says2·2 days agoFunny thing about Qualified Immunity… It’s illegal, and had the 1982 SCOTUS been handed the original wording of the law, they wouldn’t have any immunity. The law in question was illegally changed by one dude.
He had, quite frankly, an insane amount of land. Yes, my late great Aunt Binny (Virginia) was a professor of history at the University of Louisville, and had scans done by her department before she died. The scans were done in 2002.
Yep. I’m directly descended from Rev. D. Rice. The guy owned about ⅔ of The Virginia Colony, because he’s a direct descendent of House Rice, and House Wellington. He saw which way the wind was blowing in 1765 and started selling off his land. He donated the raiesd 1,500,000 pounds sterling to his good friends Tom, Jim, and Ben. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin. The joke in my family is that we paid to found the US Army and US Navy.
My cousin still has his diary, which is how we know this even happened, well that and a map of his land.
Him and his student, John Paul Jones.

Second line. The whole thing is an excerpt of the first verse. The chorus isn’t for another couple lines.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump's border czar says protests are making immigration raids more ‘difficult’ and ‘dangerous’26·3 days agoQuick message to all the pigs. None of you are officers. None of you are anything but gang members. In about 50-60% of your cases, that is literal, because you joined a gang inside the police force.
You started the “war on cops.” You perpetuated the “war on cops” for four decades, despite all evidence to the contrary. You now commit the majority of assaults, theft, murder, rape, and accomplice covering up. The criminals you catch manage less than half of the crimes you commit.
You MADE your job harder by abandoning the people, and embracing a fictitious warzone.

You are expecting Americans to do something that has never been done. The US Civil War doesn’t count, because while those people would have eventually turned to fascism, in the moment they were all about slavery and states rights, not corporate rights.
And given your username, you have far more abilities to destroy the US government than the rest of us.
