The Nazis also ran work camps which ultimately did mass extermination at a slower simply by virtue of workload and food input. High and low temps also work as well as Poor health and sanitation.
Easy enough to construct a circumstance where every inmate dies in one to ten years and cheaper the boot.
Or you get sent to the concentration camp in el Salvador
Claiming that biking is MUCH more dangerous than driving is just reality. It’s a function of dividing deaths by miles traveled. Individuals live in the real world as it is now and must make decisions based on actual reality not what you imagine might be fare in a more reasonable world than we live in whilst making positive change for the future.
You aren’t a victim and nobody is blaming you by understanding actual reality.
Great but we have to deal with the world as it is whilst improving it when we can. This means that we should build denser more walkable spaces going forward whilst realizing that we need trains and busses and electric cars not instead of better options but instead of gas cars.
It is exactly as dangerous as people think as you can clearly look at the miles biked and driven and see that the deaths per mile are massively higher. What you are posting is that its possible for it to be less dangerous than before mediation not that it is sanely possible to make mixed use as safe as cars.
You actually always have to take care of near and long term in any real world situation.
The math doesn’t work because given enough rolls you literally always go bankrupt no matter what bankroll you start with. Take the simplest option a fair coin where you win on tails and lose on heads. Real actual random flips will contains runs of heads. Let N be the number of rolls required to bankrupt you for any value of N. The more you roll the more the probability of such a run increases towards 1.
You could end up bankrupting a billion dollar bank starting with 10 dollar bets. It’s only sound if you have a literally infinite bank. For any finite bank you just have to play longer to lose but you always end up losing.
It’s not sound actually because it trivially ends up in nonsensical amounts of money and any sufficiently long series of rolls will have an increasing chance of having a sufficiently long series of losses such that no reasonable person can possibly recover from it. For instance who that can afford to bet 1024x 100 or $100,000 on a single game of chance is excited by betting $100?
It’s nonsense.
I used to live in a county that solved that problem by having in effect a connecting bus for rural riders it operated a bit like a free taxi you had to schedule. Unlike an uber there was a longer wait as it had to serve many folks so you had to plan on leaving early and waiting but it did work out pretty well and it was anything but a rich county.
Note sure why this would be downvoted
Seems it works out great for you but I don’t think it is a great solution for Americans who on average live far further from their work in inhospitable climates and are less healthy.
I think if you think that saying that US needs more remote work, affordable housing near where we work, and investment in transit makes one a Republican you must not be very familiar with Republicans. I think you should probably rethink your entire perspective on life.
Source? Notably bike enthusiasts are self selected from those willing and able to do what they do. It is notably not useful to say that a 20 year old commuting 10 miles a day is more healthy than grandma in her walker.
We can replace a lot of existing cars in single digit years it will take decades to build out transit everywhere
This depends on ambient temp and humidity
If you are going to be on the bus you mostly need more busses not more bikes
People aren’t walking instead they are stepping out of their homes with AC and riding in cars and busses with AC to their jobs which have AC…
Biking is reasonably strenuous exercise. Breeze or no breeze if its hot outside you are going to be sweaty as fuck and after you marinade in that sweat you are going to stink.

Why would they keep all of their own prisoners alive in the first place knowing that anyone who would be released is either actually dangerous or an innocent who now hates the state.
It would save money to continually allow the weakest to die from disease privation templature. A slow motion Holocaust where there isnt any smoking guns of gas chambers where the crematorium fires are always burning but the cause of death is varied
