I agree that Trump’s banning from Twitter is concerning, and that he did not incite violence. But that isn’t the underlying issue behind the suspension. The problem is that a small…

People also tend to give trucks a wider berth, or at least notice you more and respond more readily to your actions. I’ve only ever owned small cars, and in the handful of times I’…

This virus cannot be eradicated. You'd have to force everyone on the planet to isolate for 2 weeks. Simply impossible.
