Ramaswamy says he’d deport children of undocumented immigrants, calls 14th Amendment ‘contested’

I think the birthright citizenship is the way to go. If you're born in the US I think that should be the point where we go "Okay, you're a citizen". We could have a situation where a group of people are perpetually denied citizenship for some reason that's advantageous to another group, and that ensures their children can't becomes citizens either.

North America is not a lost cause

I just don't understand how any of this means the US is fucked. For example, in Georgia the majority of the population lives in small area of the state. Even if there's a lot of suburban sprawl in the area, there are transit solutions that can accommodate for that, and we don't have to tear up any suburbs to do it.

Elon promoting more homophobic misinformation

I think young children, probably 8-10, should be told the full ins and outs of how sex works mechanically. This will help them learn to identify what someone is doing to them if they're being abused, and why they're doing it.

Even if kids know everything about sex, they don't really have sex drives yet and aren't really going to chase after that. I think the benefits far outweigh the risks since.

[Discussion] What are your opinions on this Not Just Bikes comments on "fixing" North America?

I hard disagree on this, and after watching a lot of his content I kind of got the feeling that this was his position. The united states is fucking HUGE. I agree we will not fixed the US within our lifetimes, but there are a lot of major cities that have a good launching point. Mostly in the northeast.

We also have to think about the major CA HSR project that will be finished in our lifetimes, and if that project is a success it could have serious implications for transit across the whole country.

This attitude gets us nowhere. No serious amount of people are going to move out of North America, especially not the United States given how fucking huge and diverse it is. Comments like this actively hurt our cause.
