I don't know about you, but I've now run out of my supply of rapid tests, the country should probably be doing more to speed up manufacturing of these little paper strips.
Just takeoffs, and only for 15 minutes, but still kinda wild that this happened.

He goes on to point out that the main takeaway is just that speed cameras should probably be a lower fine. (The probability of being caught is much higher). Yglesias points out that deterring speeding isn't a victimless crime. Further, traffic accidents kill black Chicagoans at a much higher rate than whites. Automated enforcement is good, but other infrastructure must be improved as well.
