    I feel like they should probably get rid of the seatbelt law… let the problem sort itself out,

        Not to be too much of a dick about it… but if that’s the best reason… by all means we absolutely should.

        (in reality the seat belt law has saved innumerable lives. same with warning labels. There’s a lot of dangers that are not immediately obvious.)

          I agree with you, I think seatbelt laws are a positive thing. I’m just pushing back on the idea that not wearing a seatbelt only impacts the individual because it’s not true. People can and do suffer and die due to constraints on emergency resources like ambulances and ICU beds.

            That’s true, but there’s a solution there that’s better for everyone- pay firemen/ems a livable wage, and maybe a bit more so they can pay off the school bills etc.

      Yea, the covid deniers really helped the rational side of the population by weeding themselves out in similar circumstances

      They wouldn’t do that. They’d ban them, cuz only libtards are cowardly and gay enough to use them. Or something. I hate this timeline.
