If seeing this graph has taught me anything it's that war is hell on many levels - including economically.

This article also doesn't seem to account for the median price of a single family home.

There is also precedence for what happens when such a big wealth imbalance is present (spoiler: it's a revolution).

This article is methodical in its points.

Your retort reads like an easily dismissed hot take.

And a short expiration time absolutely increases security by reducing attack surface.

There is no clear link to the iPhone causing lower teller employment.

This article does have a glaring omission: The 2008 financial crisis effects on the banking industry in general. When there are fewer local banks there are naturally fewer tellers employed. Bank failures peaked in 2010 in the aftershocks of the crises, which lines up nicely with the articles timeline.

Thank you for this clarification and the additional detail you provide!

It sounds like the money collected by fines has to go to more traffic calming infrastructure - which is a pretty big deal.

"What's the alternative?". Maybe a more thoughtful law.

Perhaps a scaled fine system? (The second fine costs 2x the first fine, the third fine costs 3x the first fine, etc)

Maybe after 10 fines you get a point on your license?

Maybe the state has to prove it was you driving so they setup more (but discreet) cameras at intersections?

Wow! So if you have enough money, it's cool to run as many red lights as you want?
