I "love" how we need to keep on studying things that are flat out good for society while bad things just get rolled out without the same onus of proof.
Things that need to be proven over and over and over:
- Universal Basic Income
- Walkable cities prioritising pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit
- Low speed limits for cars
- No-strings housing for homeless
- High taxes for the rich
And the list goes on and on... why do we make it so hard to improve our society while making it so easy to ruin it?
