You seem to be assuming that people would keep driving as they currently do if we removed speed limits entirely. I’d be willing to bet that this is not the case. Most drivers have a number in mind on how much they’re willing to exceed the speed limit. For me that is 5 - 10kph, so if the limit is 60kph, then you’re not going to catch me going 80. Without speed limits I probably would.

So why do we have such laws? Because they work. Not perfectly but to some extent.

I hope you atleast see the irony in suggesting people are racist based on the kind of vehicle they drive.

It’s hilarious how people turn everything into conspiracies nowdays, while at the same time dismissing every narrative they don’t like as a conspiracy too. Just today, there’s another thread about Gemini “refusing to discuss Bernie Sanders” while at the same time it gives the exact same answer when asked about Trump.

This kind of “active” stock trading is essentially an attempt to predict the future. If you own Nvidia stock and hear about a new disruptive technology entering the market, you might predict that its stock value will drop. So, you sell now before the price falls too much, intending to buy back at a discount once you think it has stabilized.

When enough people do this, it triggers a chain reaction - investors see their holdings losing value and rush to sell before it’s “too late.” But in reality, it’s rarely too late because, more often than not, the price eventually rebounds. The only reason people lose money is that they panic and sell at a loss. There hasn’t been a single stock market crash in history that we haven’t recovered from.

That’s why writing news articles about short-term stock fluctuations is mostly pointless - these movements barely even register on the graph when viewed over the long term.
