I live in Atlanta so they is the city of Atlanta I guess. I got a random fine in the mail and it was from a private company I don’t remember their name but the same cameras are all over my town now.
The cameras are in places where people have to drive everyday and the flow of traffic is usually slightly higher than the limit. You can’t avoid going by them so you are tracked no matter what. And if you forget and follow the flow of normal traffic you are getting a letter from the company in the mail asking for $200.
They have speed and traffic light cameras made by the same companies and they are pushing them out indiscriminately.
Also why should that company get money if someone speeds or goes through a red light? Why do they get that privilege but no one else does? The government getting fines is one thing but a private company is another
Everyone goes over the speed limit at some point but usually there isn’t a cop there so there is no issue. It’s impossible to drive exactly the speed limit even if you wanted to
My only real issue with it is that there are a ton of them now and they are privately owned. If the fine went to the city that would be a different story.
Imagine if next they put a sensor right in your car so if you ever go over a limit you always get a fine. Would you still be into that? Would you buy that car?
That’s not true. We have a ton of these popping up in my neighborhood in places where there haven’t been issues.
Also they are owned by private companies that pocket most of the money you pay the fine with.
Why do I need 5 of these on my way to work in the morning? That’s 5 times where if I accidentally went too fast I have to pay a private company $200. That’s up to 10 times a day I am at risk of a random fee to some company. Insane that you want that
The camera doesn’t make the road safer it makes it more expensive
They would remove the camera not the traffic light. I don’t think that would cause an accident
I’m on my second day of driving so I can get home in time for work tomorrow. I am going to be so tired this week lol

5·1 month agoIt’s easier than ever to make your own website. You could vibe code one up super fast and throw up some images or videos.
Getting people to see the stuff you make is the major hurdle. These platforms have that benefit because everyone is already there.
Not to mention if you were able to get traffic to your site it probably won’t scale well lol.
That being said you should all be making web sites! Things were better when there were more places to go

2·2 months agoI think you should only be scared if you own AI stocks and I would guess not a whole lot of common people can even afford to invest in stock. Let those rich idiots lose their money. Maybe they will learn a lesson
I was thinking more about all the children that die every day as part of “gods plan”.
