Yes, open carry is legal in Florida, but only under certain circumstances. The state requires a concealed carry permit for the open carry of #handguns, but open carry of long #guns is generally allowed without a permit.

Rule of thumb in the #US... Look at #auto / #pedestrian injury stats in your area. Many of the same factors that make things dangerous for #cyclists 🚲 are also dangerous for #walkers. 🚶

Don't know the recent stats, but a few years ago #Florida was the worst in the US, and had two of the top three worst cities #Jacksonville and #Orlando . We generally don't even have sidewalks in many cities.

Several deaths and bad injuries in my area over the years. We have a #GhostBike hanging in a tree about a mile from my house. http://ghostbikes.org/ I avoid riding my bike on the highways in Fla. 🙁

In my experience, car drivers are rarely held responsible when they hit a bike.

#CashBail for petty crimes has a long tradition in the #US. One of many “Catch-22s” in our criminal justice system. Another is fining a person for not paying a fine they cannot afford. We have work to do but there is slow progress. ✊

"This ancient disease still kills 1 million people every year. - A new generation of drugs promised salvation from hepatitis B and C. What went wrong?"

First 👉 why the word "ancient"? It is irrelevant.🙄 Many human diseases have been around a long time.

Second 👉 #hepatitisB and #hepatitisC are NOT the same disease at all. One is a double-stranded #DNA virus and the other is a single-stranded #RNA virus. Conflating them just confuses the reader.

Third 👉 hepatitis B is a #VaccinePreventableDisease. The best way to deal with it is to VACCINATE people, not treat people that did not need to get it in the first place.

This information is not new. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, so #PublicHealth measures and #drug #treatment are the only options.

A bit tangential, but I highly recommend this #book...

"Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed" by Andrew Koppelman

I found this book very helpful to understand a) what #capitalism is, b) why (in a well-managed form) it is probably the best economic system we're going to get, c) how conservatives have perverted and shaped it, and d) how to push back.
