I highly doubt it. I don't remember any of incidents.

I'm assuming you are in the US. The problem with being broke is it is stressful. Stress impacts decision making, causing a cycle. The US is a capitalist society that educated people to behave as socialists with regards to business, career management, and employment.
The people that REALLY need financial planning advice can't afford it. Those that can use it to go from rich to richer.
The best thing you can do is get some help going through your expenses to see what you can optimize. Once you start getting a little bit of a breather, you will feel a lot better.
I've been following the FIRE community for close to a decade, so if you want, I can probably help you find some fat to trim.
I think the real problem is the pedestrians don't have any physical protection. It is a numbers game. Even if 99.9999% of drivers can navigate that intersection fine, it doesn't take long for the 1/1,000,000 that is drunk, up all night with a sick infant, etc to plow into pedestrians. Probably every month or two based on that kind of road's capacity. People need to start suing and make it too expensive to not put barriers around the pedestrian island.
Of course I mean the butthole spiders! What do they do with their time since the revamp? Maybe we could convince the judge to let us old school the Dahmer types for a few bearamies? I pulled off toe nails until I was transferred to running coffee shops in the rehab neighborhoods so I never got to see the new spiders.
Why not put bollards there to protect anyone on the island from being mowed down? Cheaper than the camera and safer. The families should sue the hell out of the city for not putting a protective barrier there after the first death.
Cool name. Are the new ones as enormous as they say?
Simple. "You've gotta try"
Any effort > no effort.
Things we can do to reduce emissions are better in several ways. The most immediate and easy to sell message is it saves $$$. There is a general correlation that $ spent = emissions. Chicken is cheaper than beef. Condo is cheaper than mansion. Compact car is cheaper than canyonero.
Sometimes it is a triple or quadruple whammy. Bicycle is cheaper than car, reduces traffic for people that need to use a car, improves health, AND is cheaper. And doesn't require government mandated licensing, insurance, and registration; things right wingers hate
ETA: appeal to selfishness
Considering a lot of the right's resistant to mitigation is cost, these ever more frequent crop failures are going to keep driving food prices up.
Plus increased insurance costs.
Plus increased HVAC costs.
Keep it up! Writing about it keeps it in our minds, which keeps us motivated, which keeps us acting.
I challenge everyone reading this to do one act per day to fix our climate crisis!
Florida should be one of the leaders in mitigating the climate crisis. I guess they want Miami to sink into the ocean and the rest to be pelted by an Andrew or Katrina every other year?
In general, the price of a good in a competitive market is directly tied to its energy cost
Yes. That is an old idea too. This is why doing things the FIRE movement promotes to save money is also beneficial for the environment.

"There was a World Commission on Environmental Development"
I love the name! I've seen a lot of Good Place references here on Lemmy. Personally, Chidi is my favorite.
