Why do flies try to fly through a closed window time and time again and not learn from it? Because they are politicians?
This documentary shows how, as a result of #government measures in #Belgium (but also the #Netherlands), the illegal #vape trade has grown explosively and is still growing exponentially. Illegal vapes carry major health risks. It is clear that politicians do not even know how bad the situation has become due to their #policies. However, the focus apparently still lies on enforcement within legal vape shops, which can barely stay afloat due to all the #counterproductive regulations.
Those with brains know: ban a recreational product, and you get a huge illegal trade.

Road Works that Forget About Pedestrians
Reading Time: 3 minutes
For two years they worked on a motorway bridge. For two years they cut down trees, added tons of soil, and then widened roads for cars. Never during that time did they consider that people might want to walk along the most direct route from A to B.
More recently I have been walking into and out of town and for a while I had to walk on a dirt path. I had to avoid heavy machinery, large puddles, and cross the road on a busy road several times.
Yesterday, and for the last week, the cycle lane that they had "completed" was then dug up so that a deep hole was the end of the cycle lane. The result is that you either had to dismount your bike to get onto the road, or ride on the pavement with pedestrians.
Yesterday, to add insult to injury the workers added a large truck in the middle of the pedestrian path. blocking the route. In the end I walked through mud, luckily relatively dry.
It's fantastic to improve cycling and walking infrastructure, but only when it doesn't destroy people's walking and cycling routes for weeks at a time.
It's got to a stage where I don't want to walk locally anymore. I'm tempted to get in the car, and go for a local drive, somewhere away from road works, where they don't forget about pedestrians.
The thing about walking is that it takes ten minutes to walk a kilometre if you walk fast. It takes an hour to walk six. With these road works detours that would be nothing in a car become a nuisance on foot.
High Traffic With No Walking Infrastructure
The other nuisance is busy roads with nowhere for pedestrians to walk. The walks that I loved during the pandemic became too dangerous for me to walk along them both because of traffic but also because of mud. Every time I came back with muddy shoes I had to spend half an hour removing that mud from my shoes.
Blocked for two entire weeks
Within a few days they will close a road for two entire weeks, to resurface it. In other parts of the world they can do that in a day or two, but in Switzerland they will close it for two weeks, and in that time there is no mention of whether people will still be able to walk along the route, or not.
Three Walking Routes affected by works
This wouldn't matter, if it was one road, for a few days, but it isn't one road. It's three roads at once. The direct road between Nyon and Eysins will be cut for two weeks. The road between Nyon and Crassier also has road works that have made walking less pleasant, but there are also further works on the Route de Divonne, that make walking more unpleasant.
A Positive Blip
In Nyon itself, there are road works, to bring steam heating to apartments and other buildings. For this they are digging up roads. The process takes months, if not years, so they are creating new "walks" for people to walk along and I have grabbed this opportunity to explore routes that I would not otherwise be authorised to use.
And Finally
For years, or even decades, the default was to get into the car, and drive for twenty minutes to an hour, to go for a walk. Now my default is to put my shoes on and walk from the doorstep. I got down to using the car twice per week, for food shopping and that was it.
With the road works that complicate my walks, and degrade the pleasure I derive from my local walks, it is increasingly tempting too take the car and walk somewhere else. Some people drive to the Lac De Divonne, or to the Arboretum. I don't want to get that habit back, but with the way things are degrading my habits might be more car centric, ironically because of how they are adding cycling and walking infrastructure.
TLDR
If you plan road works for encouraging people to walk, don't destroy people's favourite walking paths in the process. Ensure that people's pedestrian habits are not impacted. You want people to keep their pedestrian habits.

A quotation from Bacon, Francis:
«
The punishing of wits enhances their authority, and a forbidden writing is thought to be a certain spark of truth that flies up in the face of them who seek to tread it out.

Give her a chance to grow. She's in an awkward position right now and allowed to change her mind later.
Anyone who cares about climate should be single-mindedly focused on not having anti-science, anti-truth Trump elected.
She is at least CAPABLE of conceiving that this is a problem. He is not. That is the best we'll get today, and it's enough for tomorrow to have hope.
Our choices between THESE TWO PEOPLE. So press like this is 100% counterproductive because it's only affect can be too weak and support for the person most likely to be helpful.
Unless climate advocates want Trump to be elected, they need to STOP pitching articles in this completely self-destructive form.
The time for this discussion is AFTER we're not in peril of losing all support for truth and science in one fell swoop. Project 2025 wants to rid government agencies like NOAA of scientists and replace them with political loyalists suddenly and with dramatic flair, almost overnight, to show who's boss. Do we want that? Because THAT is the choice up for debate today. And stories like this trick politically unsavvy voters into sitting out or voting third party, which actively favors Trump. Trump will win if people don't vote Dem in force.
I'm an independent, not a Democrat. But I'm voting this year ONLY Democrat. Yes, I'm someone who thinks Climate is the ONLY issue, and it goes without saying I'd ban fracking yesterday, BUT I am 100% behind Kamala, not because of her positions on climate details, but because there is no other realistic choice AND there is a major looming danger in Trump, who openly promises a bottomless pit we (all humanity) will not dig our way out of.
I may disagree with her on things, but I am not stupid. Under her, it will still be LEGAL to disagree. Science itself cannot easily operate under the world of lies and censorship Trump offers.

I am saddened when I see people supporting in various ways those who actively marginalize them.
Support might be in the form of buying their products. Or, even if something is not outright purchased if one uses streamed content that data is collected and it shows support.
