I thought speed limits were about cutting down on fuel consumption. And as an extra revenue source
Lol! That's what "they" tell you. The 85th percentile is what generates the most revenue with the fewest objections.
Anyways, the reason I brought all this up to begin with is to show you how controled our lives really really are by government. every aspect of it is studied and controled in one way or another.
Media of course you can see especially now with the internet. On your TV, you should ignore all American news and watch only world news just for one week. then switch back to only American station news. You’ll realize that we get NONE or very little of world news. Lot’s of nasty stuff going on they don’t want us to see, because it would make Americans a little more patriotic and supportive of our role in the world.
