Then you’re not good, you’re just law compliant.

The constant attacks against Israel and it’s increasing isolation only probs Zionists right. Jews can only trust themselves for their own defense and need a state for that (that’s what Zionism is). People like you feed Zionism everyday.

Shocking if true

Strong Jesus win here

Sorry about your dog. But your example only highlights a tabu issue in these discussions, the negative impact that having a pet has. They consume meat, packaged food, are driven around, attack wild fauna (cats especially) etc. Pets is one of the items everyone should cut, but they’re only becoming more common, like SUVs.

The person under an abusive situation easily loses the car key to the abuser.

Ambulances get stuck all the time in congestioned cities and that’s a problem.

A car should never be someone’s night shelter, that person is homeless in that case. Houses, not cars, can solve the problem.

Want to do a special trip where car is the most convenient option? You can rent one out. If you only use a car a few times a year, buying one is a terrible waste of money and street space.

I think you meant 3706 years old.

I use them for running during winter and that’s a non issue.

As far as I know these anti-theft measures they demand are optional in Europe and you pay extra for them. If crime is low is not such an issue not having them. So maybe Chicago should bet on reducing crime instead?

The retirees don’t last so long (sorry), but overtourism is indeed a problem. Finding the right balance is the secret but clearly our politicians are not aiming for that… but in fairness, tourism was fantastic for many years to promote Porto’s renewal. But now it’s time to put a break on it but no one is interested in that :/

As an European I’m extremely confused by this news as well… so Chicago has a high crime problem and the city’s solution is to sue Asian carmakers? Sorry but this only makes sense in the US, I guess…

PS: maybe Hyundai should also sue Chicago city for failing to curb crime, a failure that leads to many car thefts?

You can buy very decent wine for less than 3€/bottle in any Portuguese supermarket 😅

Touched a nerve, did I? I would gladly ban horse trailers or leisure boats as well by the way. A small sacrifice to avoid human extinction. But yeah, blind selfishness will definitely kill us. Your petty luxuries are more important I guess.

I think “unlimited” is a way too big word considering all the limitations, I’m not even sure what’s left after these:

Unlike Germany’s identically priced travel pass, however, the Portuguese ticket is not available on buses or on intercity trains such as the Alfa Pendular, Intercidades, InterRegional and Internacional services.

It is also not valid for urban networks in Porto, Lisbon and Coimbra.

Where is Portugal’s €49 rail pass valid? The new national train pass can be used on most regional services around the country, but there are a couple of excluded areas.

Both the Alentejo Litoral and the Coimbra area are not participating in the scheme.

This means the pass is not valid on routes including Régua-Pocinho (Douro Line), Coimbra-Figueira da Foz (suburban Coimbra), Pinhal Novo-Évora and Pinhal Novo-Vila Nova da Baronia (Alentejo Line), and Pinhal Novo-Tunes (Southern Line).

“one parking space” is not a universal measurement unit, they come in many different sizes.

Japan is probably the cleanest country I’ve ever been to and you rarely see a bin on the street. Easily accessible bins promote carelessness with the trash you produce. If there are no bins you need to think ahead and plan how you’ll dispose of your trash.

It already is. The doubt is when will it “sell voluntarily” Siberia to China.

No, not all cars are created equally. Some require much more public space and some are also much more efficient at killing.

We should have implemented this years ago, since the US did it on us. But it should only be required to countries with equivalent programs. This is “de facto” a visa and visa-free travel is quickly dieing out. Soon many other countries will introduce the same procedures…

ESTA (the American one) is even stricter than a visa on arrival, as without it you can’t even board the plane. We should call it what it is, it’s a visa, sure an e-visa, but a visa nonetheless.

Try dieting and exercise, getting a monster truck won’t help you.
