    I wonder how much money Boeing could have saved by averting the costly strike action if it had just agreed to the original proposal from the union.

    There’s nothing inherently dangerous about driving fast if it’s in accordance with driving to the conditions on the road. Driving too slowly is more likely to cause an accident by …

    It violates the right to confront one’s accuser / question the witness in court. Presumption of guilt by default, requiring you to pay the fine before you’re allowed to contest the…

    Ironic how seatbelts aren’t mandated on public forms of transport like trains and buses, yet one is required to wear them in one’s own vehicle. If it truly is based on safety then …
