It is so so so so so so bad to have to risk an uber every time I want to hire a Waymo.

typically there is a floor, at least de facto.

I'm 13936 and I felt like I was SO LATE to the party when I signed up.

Could have just invited Ken Paxton if all he wanted to do was inform voters.

I wonder why they require it?

It is, many states in the US are abnormal in this way.

I have never had a car try to run me down, but I have had multiple vagrants chase me and my family through the streets.

But, of course, you have a problem with the direction of causation in that case. Streets with many people on it are safe, but did the people make it safe, or did the safety bring t…

Unreasonable standard for reaching conclusions, I suspect if you thought about it, you would agree.

There is a big difference between confirmation and confirmation bias.

I am glad you are enjoying it, but Columbia, SC has an extremely high murder rate, even for the US which in general has terribly high murder rates.
