the barrier wall in the median is obviously not high enough... traffic speed is much higher than the posted speed limit

Police allow speeds up to 75 mph way too much traffic for that. Need speed and lane restrictions for trucks. And I’m a truck driver saying that

Because no one obeys the speed limit we was traveling I-70 yesterday morning and speed says 60 and if you go 60 you will get hit so people was going 70 - 80 through the stretch that says 60 . Tractor trailers like to cut people off like they did us yesterday. They think they rule the road .

That stretch from stadium too Clark lane exit is very dangerous and deadly. People go too fast, and don't let people on. There is no room to just drive!

Too many dumb drivers that have no clue whose turn it is to go mixed with college kids that just got here for school and semi trucks that are just passing through. Add all of those together and what do you get? Decent amount of wrecks that's what.

So sounds like the people are the problem not the highway.

My son fell off the overpass by Midway and nearly lost his life back in January of 23. It's a miracle that he's not dead or paralyzed

The road is fine. People are the problem. Using phones and not paying attention to the road and the traffic is what is dangerous.

It's not the roads. It's uninformed and distracted motorists.

I see a lot of drivers who shouldn't be driving. It's like they are in their own little world.

The road dangerous? No. People texting, speeding, and general inattentiveness? That's the danger.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
