For clarity, this means the stock is back to the price it was in September. I know car-man-bad but I get tired of these sensationalized articles that are only shared because they confirm that someone we like is bad actually

I think you haven't read the article

Both women literally already got their cars back

They're suing because the process was, as another commenter said, a huge pain in the ass

“Culley and Sutton’s argument for a separate preliminary hearing appears in many respects to be a backdoor argument for a more timely hearing so that a property owner with a good defense against forfeiture can recover her property more quickly,” he wrote. “But the court’s precedents already require a timely hearing.”
Alabama has since amended its forfeiture law to allow owners of seized property to request expedited hearings.
“Our decision today does not preclude those legislatively prescribed innovations,” Justice Kavanaugh wrote. “Rather, our decision simply addresses the base-line protection of the due process clause.”

Seems like it's less about civil forfeiture and more about how quickly can they get their property back when civil forfeiture happens

That doesn't answer the question

They keep saying the risk is low which sounds to me like you CAN get it from tainted meat

I didn't bother mentioning that I'm vegetarian because that's irrelevant to questions of public health

I can't get it from meat but my neighbors can

 “USDA is confident that the meat supply is safe.  USDA has a rigorous meat inspection process” and “multiple safeguards in place to protect consumers,” the agency said in a statement sent to media outlets on Monday.

“We recommend consumers properly handle raw meats and cook to a safe internal temperature,” which kills bacteria and viruses in meat, the agency added. 

Can you get avian flue from handling or consuming raw meat

I can see that. I didn't mention the lack of evidence problem because the author did that in spades. I guess that's what I get for just firing off a comment!

Updated

Not sure why I'm being down voted so much, lol.

Wish people would engage if they disagree instead of just doing a drive by

I'm friendly, I promise!

Very interesting article

The issue feels a lot like climate change. Pollution that affects us on a global scale that will make some people immensely rich and it's up to the cooperation of countries to research, mitigate, and control it

I just started biking again so I might be a bit naive

Hopefully things keep improving. I'm definitely in favor of Dutch style transportation

[–] Chestnut@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I suspect that's true if only because most us cities haven't improved at all

Boston is putting in a bunch of bike lanes but most of them aren't protected

That said, the North end has a wonderful separated bike lane. Same as the seaport

Except for a stretch by long wharf I can just about bike the entire way using separated bike lanes if I don't mind going out of my way a little bit

The more of this kind of small vehicle traffic we get the better supported it is. Safer traffic patterns, dedicated lanes, repair stores and vendors, etc.

I think you're also seeing some political organizing to that front, too. Cambridge MA has a biking advocacy group putting pressure on government to put in more biking infrastructure.

Big car might have a stranglehold on big government but people paying attention to small local elections can make a big difference
