[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever happened to the DC "Safe Streets" initiative to protect pedestrians on some of the side streets?  DDOT announced it to great fanfare but there was no enforcement or follow-through, and now DDOT has abandoned the program.  Meanwhile, well-run cities like Seattle are planning to continue and expand a similar program going forward.  Bowser also announced that speed limits on DC side streets were being lowered to 20 mph.  DDOT replaced a few signs, but then stopped, and cars rip through the residential streets as before.   Bowser's whole approach is "platitudes to the people," but there's little substance and even less follow through.[/quote]
It so crazy that the current logic of DC is that cars are evil. But kids buckwildin' on ATVs and Endurobikes are good actually.[/quote]

Agreed. Im a liberal but this woker than woke shit is a joke.[/quote]

Our city council is clearly pro-buckwildin'. That's the only explanation. Come to DC where buckwildin' is entirely encouraged. Why don't you smoke something while you're here? You'll have more fun with your buckwildin' if you do!

Buckwildin' buckwildin' buckwildin'. What a great word and how sadly appropriate for the state of our city and the values of its leadership.[/quote]

Isn't "buck" a suspect term?[/quote]

Is it? I'd think like "buck naked," no? Not sure what the "buck" means there, either, but we all have the right image in our heads with that. What do you think it means?[/quote]
People are confusing different terms and contexts.

Back in the day, Ronald Reagan gave a speech against welfare where he spoke about "strapping young bucks" buying T-Bone steaks.

[b]Buckwildin' is derived from buckwild which just means out of control[/b].[/quote]

That makes sense. So yes, I do maintain that our city council is weirdly pro-buckwildin' for a bunch of apparent adults. [/quote]
