  • It’s not like the sensors override safe lighting patterns though, no two lights that interfere should ever turn green at the same time.

    And the loops can reliably detect bicycles too, as they do in the Netherlands. And there’s usually several that detect vehicles early, it’s not like a car needs to sit right on top of them.

    Basically they’re a proven technology that improves safety and convenience. Obligatory NJB: https://youtu.be/knbVWXzL4-4

    You don’t really tax individuals, you tax the wealth regardless of who owns it. So 90% tax on unused wealth, the ‘hoarded’ excess of wealth that no individual needs and which could benefit others. Progressive taxation means you tax someone’s wealth less up to a certain point, let’s say 10 million, and you tax more on any wealth above that.

    90% is probably still low, it should really be at whatever percentage wealth can’t accumulate.
