I'm going to guess that those highways between metro areas, especially where speeds like that are even feasible (highest speed limit in the US is 85) are so remote and sparsely traveled that that's not where the deaths are happening.

That's why I have a poop counter so I can keep track

Best case scenario, this was taken to keep birthright citizenship and make other god awful rulings seem more palatable.

The formerly-blue district around Nashville, yes, that was butchered and extended out to the sticks to get R votes. But in doing so, you also put more blue voters into those red districts. If you push it too much, a big enough blue shift in those now-kinda purple districts can get multiple Dem districts - all when you tried to take away the one.

First it was GPUs because crypto, then this. Wonder what useless thing the tech bros will cover up with in a few years!

I get what you're saying, but the line I was quoting implied packing voters for your own party into one district, not the opposition. That would achieve the opposite effect.

Right, that link illustrates my point: they used to have one blue and two red districts, both very solid. When they split Nashville into pieces, the voter demographics haven't changed so they ended up with 3 red districts, but less so than before.

 
 

As a parent of a toddler in this program (one who is getting 4 provider visits per week, was going to be cut to 4 per month) I'm glad to have gotten an email late Friday saying that there will be no changes to services at this time. Still, this week has been a clusterfuck for us and especially our providers!
