Nevermind the number of trucks doing 90% of the wear and tear on the roads (that they won't be paying for). The amount of trash that they produce. And the possibility of things like drone drops in the future.

When we have plenty of jobs and not enough housing, it makes no sense. But the city council is always falling all over themselves thinking they will get Fortune 500 money in the coffers. They never do.

>An organ donor would be more likely than average to be a person of color while an organ recipient would be more likely than average to be White.

I don't know where you got this but you are wrong. And you are suggesting it as a template to other redditors! Wow.

Almost 60% of people on the U.S. transplant waiting list are people of color, including Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American patients. However, the number of donors from those communities is much lower than the number from white communities.

Among communities of color, Black American are the largest group in need of organ transplants overall. Data from 2020 shows that Black Americans make up 31.4% of candidates on the kidney transplant waiting list but only 8% of living kidney donors. That's in contrast to white Americans who represent 34.9% of candidates and 71.4% of living donors.

Your arguments are all about issues with people receiving transplants. But I don't see what that has to do with allowing prisoners to join the list of possible matches. Issues are addressed on a case by case basis once a match is made.

As you are someone who has received multiple organ transplants, it is strange to want to gatekeep transplants for other people.

>Organ donation is a huge process.

Bone marrow donation is not a huge process. There are kids dying while waiting for rare matches.

There is a place 508intl.com in charlton. They have trails and tracks.

I know people off road at the old Rutland Prison Camp.

I know some people use map apps. Polaris has one, and onxmaps.

They can be hard to find but don't get discouraged! Finding the trails is like finding secret fishing spots. The search is part of the fun!
