Right, because for it to be true that fear of losing health insurance is a barrier to starting one's own business, it must be true that it's the only factor at play here.
yeah, but then it starts loudly reading to you....and then at the end of the ride when you want to pay with your credit card the whole interface is weird. Better to just get really good at hitting the off button as soon as it allows you to.
I'd say a much more important purpose of a cutting board is to protect the edge of your knife. If you hit the edge of your knife on something really hard, it'll chip, or fold--basically just ruin it. This might not be such a big deal for home cooks with super dull knives (after all, glass cutting boards still exist for some reason!) but for a professional I'd think a cutting board that destroys your knives would be worse than useless.
That does seem like an advantage, but the downside is that people who don't have access to fancy diagnostic equipment potentially just die of things that could be cured with some antibiotics....
And yet, no real change to the status quo of slow deterioration seems to be happening. The louder and more powerfully we can make this (I agree obvious) case, the better!
The NYC subway system is orders of magnitude better than anything else in this country, absolutely. This also means that pretty much everyone relies on it to get around every day---so we have to hold it to a much higher standard. If the subway were as bad as it is in SF, the whole city would more or less stop functioning entirely.

And SF is far better than say LA or Denver as far as public transit. I think you nailed it perfectly though, being “the best” carries a lot of responsibility and the MTA isn’t honoring that.
It becomes a legal proceeding. Like any legal proceeding, your trauma now has to be relived over the course of a criminal trial, with you having to go up on a stand and recount the entire experience and be called a liar in a public forum by opposing counsel and have all your neighbors (and the world) know more about you than you'd like and fashion all manner of horrible opinions of you.
Nobody wants to go through that.
Not to mention when your attacker is someone you know, and you wrestle with whether or not you might have implied consent will result in absolutely ruining someone else's life with the mere allegation.
It's not a light matter. Most cases actually aren't performed at gunpoint in an alley.
