I sympathize, but I honestly think that anywhere that's that car-dependent has reckless and aggressive drivers. It's why I get so frustrated with drivers that insist that bike lanes, transit, etc. will make traffic worse - it would literally do the opposite by taking cars off the road.
It's supposed to be for better or for worse. Lately it's just been better if you're a red state that refuses to invest in education and worse if you're a blue state that actually generates money from your educated and well-paid citizens. Enough is enough.
Interesting that the drivers didn't notice the "increased" speed limit. Either it wasn't convincing or people don't pay enough attention to speed limit signs. Probably the latter.
Sounds like an invitation to set up a new power company - I'm not sure how expensive electricity is in India but solar farms in rural areas are generally a good thing.
As with most people in that position, they've been fucking over people for so long that they're terrified of someone turning the tables on them. Hence gathering ungodly amounts of wealth and insulating themselves from the world.
When I was in my 20s, the only people I met who were at least somewhat well-adjusted were those who had either worked through college or participated in something like the Peace Corps. Big big fan of mandatory civil service, especially as an option for those who don't know what they want to do with their lives yet.
I am absolutely in favor of some sort of civil service or CCC-revival in the US. I'm so fucking tired of how anti-social and disrespectful of others Americans are, and it seems like Covid has only accelerated that.
