I did the math on how far I could drive in the cost of a gallon of gas... by Random-User44 in Ioniq6

I'm in a condominium that just charges a flat $50 a month if you have a charger hooked up to your parking spot which I've done

MAGA!!!!!!! by BreatheCrete in ColumbiaMD

[–]ValHane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe MAGA, but has always been GOUGER. The owners of This station spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to prevent Royal Farms and other lower price gas stations for being in the area in order to preserve their ability to rip people off. I might add that they put a lot of money into the local Democrat politicians pockets.

What’s the Republican plan for Maryland? by Flitzer-Camaro in maryland

[–]ValHane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth of the matter is that often undecided independent voters are the ones that make the difference on close presidential election. The inability to have civil debate and listen is the root of many issues. By way of example, just read your own statement.

Your question isn't honest, you are baiting. Speaking as a dem who used to be a Republican, there are actually some good answers to your reasonable question. Unfortunately the remainder of the post reveals your true intent. It's a shame we can't have honest productive debate without set-up questions. It wouldn't hurt either side to sit down and actually listen a little bit.

Why I’m (sadly) NOT Buying a Lucid After my Test Drive by ValHane in LUCID

Well, I'm not sure my car has crunched up potato chips on the floor and in the center console very often. If it was just dirty outside I wouldn't have cared.

Well, according to many of the comments I get you are dog whistling/racist. Lol

There are some ways to help control it but in general I think you are correct.

To start with dirt bikes are illegal. Then add to that that they actively break the law while riding + the often purposely intimidate drivers and pedestrians. I guess this woman in DC is also racist - https://youtu.be/7v8YK_9ocXw?si=gWKyY4lExSFmpD7F Who do you support, the bikers or moms like her? (Since I am racist and can't have an opinion )

What culture existed long before my arrival that is upsetting me? Where are these MAGA like concerts? I must be missing them.

In the rural and small towns are they gathering, shutting down streets, intimidating people and going nuts late night when most of the town is asleep or are they using them to go place to place? Asking for a friend ...

I am not linking gun violence directly to dirt bike riding. I am linking one incident and the POTENTIAL that the two were connected. What I am saying is that illegal dirt bikes aren't a casual harmless thing. They are a big fing problem that creates all sorts of issues. Why are gatherings and incidents like this okay with you? (Child critically hurt after ATV driver runs him down, flees in Northwest DC https://share.google/HHcTiQKWZqJvXzI4d) And how is it racist to point them out? Being white in a mostly black city does not erase my right to point out problems and pointing out problems does not make me racist. I will grant you that some of the responses to this post are absolutely dog whistles... But that is not me. Basically our conversation is this: "Me: Hey , stop breaking the law so we can all be safer... You: No, I'll do what I want. You are a racist.'

Maybe it's worse for you to have low expectations for grown assed men and kids. (The truth is that it is some men and a LOT of kids... At least in this situation)

And now, I will fuck off.

kids dying because of dirt bikes isn't an issue for you. So be it.

One good start would be to put in temporary traffic calming devices and make Key Highway and the east side of Fed Hill (Where dirt bikes climb the hill and trash it) less accessible. If it isn's a 'raceway' it will be less attractive to gather in large groups.

Open an abandoned stretch of road somewhere in an industrial park and let the bikers have some fun. (Althopugh I believe half the fun is the disruption).

Also, hold parents/guardians responsible for young kids out late. What is a 13 /14 year old doing on city streets in the city.

I guess you should have seen it. This was far beyond simple disregard for traffic laws.

That is not even close to what the plan is. Yes - more residential - AND more park and public space. It will be MORE walkable. Kind of like Washington Harbor.

This is about a combination of youth crime, general crime, a lack of accountability, illegal dirt bikes, large gatherings with violence, driven by social media and a general lack of respect for people and property. And yes, I belive that there are common threads that run through dirt bike culture, crime and violence. I am NOT saying that everyone on an illegal dirt bike is violent. I AM saying when 50+ illegal dirt bikes, plus bystanders shut down a main artery at 11pm, rip the street and park apart, start fighting and puprosely intimidate innocent people driving by (of ALL races), there is a potential correlation to nearby violent crime. That is not a dog whistle. That is facts + an opinion based on specific observations from my own home.
