It should be localized. it cuts both ways. Why would we say a family struggling to make ends meet is not really poor because they could live comfortably on that salary in a different region?

The global financial system is forced to work with the US bc the USD is currently the world's reserve currency. If the world aknowledges what's happened to America then everyone crashes. Once the reserve currency is no longer USD, the US cant keep printing money and everything quickly falls to shit in America while the rest of the world moves on.

Yes I have. There are only videos of people asking for badge numbers without getting a response. There are none where a badge number is given.

My point was that we need to see their faces because they will not identify themselves. Thats a big problem if we ever pull ourselves out of this; they will attempt to rejoin society like nothing happdened after illegally brutalizing american citizens. We need to know who the traitors are.

I suppose thats why lying their ass off works. It's not even close but enough folks will shrug and say it must be both sides. The facts don't matter when nobody will check a source.

They are waiting for a committee to release their investigation first. That is supposed to happen by 11/17.

They dovthis because as obvious as it is that Santos is a crook its just as "obvious" to republicans that Biden is guilty of who knows what.

This does not address my point at all. I agreed that your suggestion would not necessarily negatively impact the total throughput on your route.

My point was that your route does not exist in a vacuum and the utility of the open lane may not be obvious without having the same information available as the traffic engineers who designed the closure.

What you're missing is that the "closing lane" is often designed to be utilized to prevent traffic from backing up into another traffic control device.

While you're "matching speed" with the open lane that's hardly moving- traffic has now backed up into an intersection and caused gridlock on cross streets for miles behind you.

So while "total throughput" on YOUR journey has remained the same you may be causing chaos to the roads around you.

Your best bet is to just assume the traffic engineers who designed the closure know better than you.
