    Yes, he sucks. Not as bad as the last three yet, but there is still plenty of time for that.

    If two people are far apart, its a lot harder for a virus to travel to the other person. Common sense.

    If 2 million people died of car crashes every year you bet we would be dramatically lowering the speed limit.

    Lowering the speed limit is not the only option to lower vehicle fatalities.

    Is 6 feet "far apart", especially indoors?

    It really depends on how much ventilation you are getting indoors and how well both people are masking.

    If 2 million people were dying every day, a lot of measures would be put in place, but lowering the speed limit would definitely be part of it. Fatalities go up by 8.5% for every 5 MPH you raise the speed limit.

    Never heard about the depopulation agenda of NWO?
    We're too many on the Earth, NWO demands to decrease our amount down to 200m - 300m
    Moreover it's the war against the white christian man, only his countries are highly vaccinated

    Why 2 million? Why not 1 million? Or 100,000? Or 50,000? What's the magic number of acceptable fatal car crashes per year? Anything under 2 million death is okay?

    Thats like asking where the stubble ends and the beard begins. Its hard to draw a solid line but we have to somewhere. We obviously can't stop all traffic if a single person dies, but obviously if 50 million people die every years because of traffic drastic action is needed. So the line is between 1 and 50 million people. I guess the line depends on the economic harmfulness of the proposal vs the number of lives it will save.

    I thought it's all worth it even if it saves one life. Do you think money is more important than saving lives or something? You think the "economy" is more important than the lives of the people who die in car crashes? I'm not even saying we need to ban cars, just make it a law that they can never exceed a speed that creates fatal potential for other drives and pedestrians. Sure, things will move a lot slower, and maybe some rich fat cats will make less profits as a result, but thousands of lives, including children, will be saved every year. I think 10 MPH national speed limit is fair. It's still much faster (over longer distances) than any human can go without a car, but it's slow enough that any car-to-car accident at that speed has almost a 0% chance of being fatal, especially with all the new safety features we have in cars. I mean, are you so impatient and selfish that you cannot wait a little longer to get where you're going? You REALLY have to get to Fuddruckers within the next 10 minutes?
