What happens is they do defer to the expert. The expert is a plant by which ever lobbiest chose to sponsor the bill. I'm had correspondences with my government about fields I am intimately familiar with and their arguments about technical feasibility were given to them by their Big4 "expert". The problem is I know the field well enough to understand their expert is simply giving the opinion they were paid to give and the technical feasibility of the proposals take a back seat to the political desire of the people pushing the proposal.

There are loads of independent Hasidic and Orthodox Israelite Jews who are anti-Zionist. You can see them protesting in NYC and chasing the IDF out of their neighborhoods in Israel. Jewish organisation might be Zionist because Israel invests billions in creating said organisations. If you want to win this battle you can't throw your allies under the bus just because they share their religion with the enemy. Your lack of nuance is exactly what I meant when I said toddler media literacy.

No but outside of Zionism I also don't see countries, leaders and institutions conflating religious nationalism with the religion. He has been a very clear opponent of Zionism so in order to shut down the BS he has to also make it clear that he has no problem with Jews.

You have the political and media literacy of a toddler if you think this is a gotcha.

No. Your options (you can choose multiple at the same time):

  1. You get an ebike.
  2. You move closer to work.
  3. You get a job closer to home.
  4. You lobby your city to fix their shit.

You wouldn't be the only person in this predicament if this happened so you would have lots of support to apply political pressure. But don't worry. It's never going to happen in your third world shithole country.
