    “We have a lot of tools at our disposal as the legislature to regulate healthcare, but felony criminal charges are not the appropriate tool for that job…"

    The only language of the State is violence

      “The State” as in the state of Montana? Or like The State?

      Because if it’s the latter… I would say that the state excels at building infrastructure, and providing services that would never be done by the private sector because they’re not profitable.

      I’m not sure I see any violence in that stuff…

              Ahh yes, the great american cross-country bicycle trip.

              It’s almost as if this country is far too big and spread out to make bikes the primary form of transportation.

              I don’t love how car-centric we are, but “hurr durr, people want to ride bikes on roads” is honestly the stupidest fucking reason to switch entirely to toll roads that I have ever heard. Do better.
