The NY Post is a rag.

The driver is in her eighties, in poor health, previously had a clean record, was not intoxicated or distracted, showed remorse for what happened, and did not contest the charges against her. It is unknown if she suffered a medical incident at the time of the crash.

If prisons are truly for rehabilitation and not punishment, what is she to be rehabilitated for? She already doesn't have much time left, and being thrown into an overcrowded, run down prison purely out of spite would only serve to further reduce her life expectancy and waste state funds.

If anything, this is a symptom of the state's over reliance on cars, and insufficient testing and certification of elderly drivers.

They tried, and now they've married their LLMs.

"Dozens"

Dozens of countries host US military bases. While currently unlikely, the individual host nations could absolutely forcefully overtake or otherwise expel the bases within their borders while the US flounders about in Iran.

The US has just shown it can't protect it's bases, and their presence only invites more conflict.

Your ability to evaluate yourself often degrades with age. It is the state's responsibility to independently verify that the drivers they license are capable of driving safely.

If prison is for rehabilitation and not punishment, are you suggesting we rehabilitate this woman for being elderly?

Making animal noises over quiet channels is a long running joke that has been going on for decades, at least. Someone at the FAA put their pants on too tight this morning, it seems.

We say end the war

Yeah, but here's the thing... Dem leadership is not saying they want to end the war.

Thanks for reading the article.

Migrants and refugees are under constant attack throughout the west. The US has secret police racially profiling, beating, killing, illegally kidnapping and disappearing people. Civil rights are rapidly being restricted and rolled back. Israel does a genocide and bombs every county in it's vicinity while the west offers it's boots, bombs, and blessings.

The west doesn't support human rights, and the fascists are already in power.

Israel has already shown their willingness to flatten cities and a blatant disregard for civilian life. Their president and a large majority of citizens believe "there are no innocents in Gaza", and that every child born is "already a terrorist from the moment of his birth".

Israel would consider a launch far before the US ever would. The US can sail away to safety whenever they choose, but Israel cannot. In the event Israel suffers enough damage, the Samson Option would be considered.

Both are important.

Legal cases create precedents which can be used to fight similar cases in the future.

Is there a time besides maybe the 2010s where people had more disposable income ?

Yeah, bud.

It was called 1940-2007.
