  • The cities look SO MUCH nicer without cars. More open, less crowded (probably because of a much lower population, but there’s way more space), and it’s likely a whole lot quieter.

    Not sure about air quality because they had basically no regulations on industrial pollution, but I can’t imagine it would be all that bad when away from the factories.

    I wish we could just get rid of cars, honestly.

    Edit: I’d never thought about firemen using horse-drawn carriages to get around to fight fires, but it makes perfect sense. It’s just funny to see!





  • It’s complicated, but not necessarily. The US has a lot of agreements with other countries for you to avoid having to pay taxes for both countries. If you’re living in a country with one of those agreements, you can file with the US to claim you’ve paid taxes to the foreign government.

    And the US doesn’t force you to renounce your citizenship, it’s generally other countries that don’t allow dual citizenship; Germany and Denmark for example don’t allow it.


  • I don’t appreciate the idea that it’s somehow worse that women and children are the ones dying, as if men are expendable. It’s one of the grossest forms of sexism.

    Now, if they had said “X% of those killed are children,” I’d have fully supported that. Adults are definitely more expendable than children. Children deserve full protection by everyone.

    But men’s lives matter in these situations too. We’re not meaningless.
