Effective July 1, no more behind-the-wheel tests required for drivers ages 79 to 86 in Illinois
Reply in thread
I looked up Illinois' most recent crash stattistics and found that 75 and older had some of the lowest crash rates, about 3x less crashes than 18-19 year olds, even with about 2.5 times more licensed drivers in the 75+ age bracket.

Noted. I'm not arguing either side, but it's possible that there is a bias against older people based on anecdotal experience. To you point though, there probably are many things that factor into the policy. If older people are driving less, they still are a lower risk to crash as a demographic.

No, people need to find success in beheading the aristocrats again. Every successful CEO doesn't need to have a head.

‘ICE conveyor belt’ is illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond.
Remember when Texas was sending busloads of migrants north to sanctuary cities?

The Governor of New York has an idea to make car insurance more affordable. She wants to reduce compensation to crash victims.
Why is it that something required by the government (car insurance) is not provided BY the government?

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Out Laura Loomer’s Racism Against Kamala Harris: "White House Will Smell Like Curry"
So obvious how the right keeps pushing the envelope to legitimize the current wackos. MTG was Loomer, just like Dick Cheney was MTG. One day MTG will be the "respectable" repub.

Amid Epstein Fallout, Video of Trump Judging Teens in Model Contest Resurfaces
Trump is a sleeze, but the event itself is also part of the problem. Are all the judges supposed to be under 18, then? I guess it might show a pattern of behavior that Trump associates with young girls, but the event itself set up the conditions for older men objectifying young girls.

Tariffs=corruption. This is just one more grift for Trump et al. One more way for Trump to funnel money into his coffers.

When this is over, I wanna see a stat on who spoke/was on camera more. The press plays right into his hands. Asking him to clarify only gets him more speaking time. That's why he "wins" debates, because he monopolizes media time. She is doing a great job attacking him, but he gets the last word.

I understand the feelings that lead to giving this advice, but this will not end well for anyone. There are better options, especially if children are involved.

Supreme Court rules that Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal | CNN Politics
It doesn't matter. Remember all those times when Trump & Co set a tariff percentage, then lowered it a few weeks later? I wonder why? Maybe somebody made a "donation" to his bitcoin account. He got what he wanted.
