In the North American context, "maternity care" would probably be understood as midwifery, which is not Planned Parenthood's main vocation. That said, you're correct that Planned P…

> This looks like the national electricity model in Quebec, where the public absorbs risk and the private part of the private-public partnership absorbs profits. Just the best! I'm…

Typically you carry your groceries in a bag. Some people have wheeled bags for bigger trips. In neighborhoods with a traditional urban form (or "15 minute cities"), you wouldn't us…

The parent comment is presenting a hypothetical of how a similar degree of regulation would look for cars, not saying that airplanes have that specific regulatory mechanism.

It's also worth noting that Manchester, NH, which is where an Amherst resident is likely to spend a non negligible amount of time (nearest shopping mall, hospital, etc), has a comp…

It would be very interesting to see more comparisons between merchant's perceptions of mobility and reality, but this[1] Toronto study is the only one I'm aware of. As expected, me…

This is false. 200 bank accounts were frozen for organizing or significantly financing an illegal blockade of our capital. Nobody had their bank account frozen for "saying mean thi…

Human error does happen, but it results in death an order of magnitude less frequently in buses, trains and airplanes than in private vehicles. https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/home-and…

I'm not sure what more proof I can provide that the blockades and occupation are both an unpopular and illegal. These responses are non-sequitors and proclaim with confidence what …
