Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

It's called pragmatism. If you're going to solve a problem, might as well provide a good one that's not going to make things worse. Take things into account and realize that sometimes the best solution is to just implement policies.
Besides, this particular issue is more of an issue with a specific subset of motorcycle riders. And the main problem is caused by two types of riders: those that didn't prepare for the weather and would only start wearing weather-appropriate attire once it has started pouring, and those that are literally treating EDSA as a temporary parking lot to wait the rain out (as they don't even appear to have a jacket nor a raincoat). Do we really need to provide infra when the alternate solution already lies on the riders?

Namiss ko yung mga panahong nung nagrequired sila ng helmets for cyclists, nagbigay yung ibang LGU ng free helmets, bago sila nanghuli.
