Talking with cyclists it’s actually the opposite. It works in the sense that if someone is turning right they will get into the right lane and essentially self block a bicycle from pulling past them on the right side (if a cyclist did that they have a high likelyhood of getting hit as they are pulling into the cars blind spot… Then traffic starts moving and the right turning car just goes and suddenly there could be a bike there).
My parents used to go down to Arizona. They sold their trailer back in 2018 (so just before Covid which was very lucky). They’ve done the odd trip down to the US (they sold because they wanted to go to different places) but plan to go out to Vancouver Island and other places more often now.
Family friends with a house in Palm Desert sold their place after Trump joked about Canada being the 51st state and plan to never go back down again. At least for as long as he is president.
Oh neat my Total Wine and More has this. I’ll have to get some next time I go.
But can you imagine the blissful ignorance?
No social media.
No phones.
No 24 hour news cycle.
Almost no literacy.
Just a town crier once a week or month or whenever our lord thought there was important news to share.
The travelling minstrel, or dance troupe, or puppeteer coming through annually and doing shows for a few nights before carrying on to the next town.
