President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

I ride with a road bike twice a week. I take a tumble about every 6 months. My son is an avid rider-road, mountain, cyclecross. He has broken ribs (flail chest and pneumo) and recently his clavicle. He’s also been clipped by cars.
 

Did he do going 3mph in a crosswalk?

Really?  I ride bikes, mostly mountain biking.   I don't know anyone who "frequently will take a fall".

Trying to convince the kool aid drinkers is pointless.

From your source:

Call this 133,000 total injuries/deaths.  Based on an estimated U.S. population of 332,403,650 this is 1 injury/death per 2499 persons or 0.04% of the total population.  I'm not sure that this is an accurate representation:

 

Yes.  I think most of us realize people do fall while biking, but that's not the same as everyone who does frequently falls.

That represents your interpretation of her remark, she was referencing frequent bike riding and falls.  You are interpreting it as referencing bike riding and frequent falls.

I used to drink Kool Aid as a kid. We had well water and it tasted terrible. I haven’t had Kool Aid in years.

We rarely agree, but we’ve reached common ground on this one. My concerns are:

1. loss of highway funds. 
2. doesn’t actually do anything to address supply issues. 
3. will increase demand & therefore use of gas.
