No, but whereas you may have had multiple cars being brought into any one area from people going shopping etc, it's possible a single Uber may shuttle multiple people into one area over time.

Probably matters more for places where you have a lot of traffic from outside the city into the city being replaced by ubers/taxis than driving around within the city, and it's far eclipsed by the efficiency of actual public transportation of course.

A single ride share can move multiple people around during the day so it can definitely still reduce the number of cars on the road, just not by as much as a bus or train.

That's fair, most people when they say "Sales Tax" mean the single type used basically across the board in the US and don't mean things like a VAT tax, luxury tax, etc. If we mean the broader term then yeah it can be progressive.

It's literally just factually correct. You cann't make a sales tax progressive. You can make an income tax progressive. That doesn't mean every income tax is progressive, doesn't mean income tax is inherently a better idea, or anything of the sort. I am simply stating a fact about income taxes that would be one reason people would support one.

And I'd rather we just not file taxes at all, every year, like real countries do.

Sales tax is regressive whereas an income tax can be progressive.

> EDIT: ALSO, Plan B is available OTC, and online on Amazon, and is good for 72 hours after a sexual encounter. It has been wildly effective in lowering both unexpected pregnancies and abortion rates. A pill expires in 1.5 years so don't hoard them, but it's good to keep some on hand for yourself or people you love.

I think it is important to note as well for anybody who has personal reservations about abortion that Plan B IS NOT an abortion. It prevents a pregnancy from ever occurring. It is an emergency contraceptive, NOT an abortion.

Just have them eat it and you'll be good for a day or two.

Because new taxes always end up hurting the poor and middle class instead of targeting the the top income brackets.

Raise taxes on millionaires, not workers.

Technically anti-satellite missiles are also launched from aircraft into orbit.

The original post was comparing America to the rest of the developed world where car accidents are also much lower than America because America is a shithole.

I think you'll find personal motor vehicles are way less common in the rest of the developed world as well.

Clovis First started getting challenged in the last decade or so and is now considered totally outdated.

Kinda seems to me like the workers saying anything about who to vote for should be immensely illegal, regardless of if they say "you have to" or not.

Ah, the top of the chain was talking about controlling reproduction so I assumed that is what you meant.

Any plan to control who has children and who does not inherently requires those.

You are never going to prevent all bad things from happening. It's not like there is some crazy epidemic of moms stabbing their kids to death. It's in the news precisely because it is uncommon.

It's a pretty fucking far reach since you'll need to engage in forced abortions, sterilizations, etc.
