Trump’s White House Was ‘Awash in Speed’ — and Xanax

“Welsh 20mph speed limit is a success, claims government. Figures show speeds on many roads have dropped by 4mph. Natasha Asghar, the Welsh Conservative shadow minister for transport, said: “These findings prove what a monumental waste of time and resources from the Labour government the 20mph limit has been. On day one of a Welsh Conservative government, this barmy policy would be scrapped, and common sense would prevail.”” Are a few more Tory votes really worth a few more road deaths? #speed
They call for more data on the "death Toll", money and more (killer) roads, but never for a radical infrastructure redesign. No data on "roadkill" of native animals either.
I'm writing a new big book on software performance and scalability

Key takeaway: WordPress can be at least as fast as a static site generator (but still retain the value-added features of a CMS), so long as you're willing to put the work in.
Our state of denial of the role of cars
The normalisation of crashes must stop Pt.2
"These policies have promoted car-based infrastructure and urban sprawl. Public transport and active transport such as walking and cycling have been neglected.
Children are the victims of our obsession with allowing heavy, fast-moving vehicles in our everyday spaces, including around schools.
The freedom of car drivers comes at the expense of the freedom of all others. At the same time, the environment and society bear most of the costs of this car culture.
It’s essentially a form of victim blaming. Instead of reducing the source of violence, we tell everybody to be more careful around it.
We need to recognise that the car threatens children’s safety and their right to independently roam public spaces. This directly threatens their long-term health and wellbeing.
Car drivers’ rights are not more important than children’s rights to be safe on our streets. The interests of those who oppose measures such as reduced car parking or lower speed limits should not be more important than our children’s wellbeing. No benefit of a pro-car policy can be greater than the benefit of children’s active presence in public spaces, where they have a right to be imperfect and distracted."
