Astra Zeneca is extorting Australians, holding our health hostage for even bigger profits. They will make our pharmaceutical scheme intolerably costly, if they win this war on Australians’ health. They’ll probably say the “shareholder” demands them to do this. Trump unleashed murderous 💰

This is absolutely the right take.
The conventional approach to road "safety" in the US is really about limiting liability, reducing congestion, or state sanctioned victim blaming (or all 3).
We were making headway on changing that with the #SafeSystem until this year.

I seldom share substack links, but this one is such a good explainer.
Inconvenience for drivers -
lowered speed limits,
design that creates friction,
& roads that feel narrow and challenging to navigate -
is necessary to substantially improve safety and reduce injuries.
Incl driver injuries!
