You don't even drive though eh? There are plenty of text based signs in the UK.uziq wrote:
there is something very wilfully stupid about designating potentially life saving information in text. the U.K. highway system doesn’t work like that. roads are used by international freight and logistics companies, dilbert; the lifeblood of many national economies depends upon this sort of traffic. why would you communicate things in a text-based language? i’m sorry but that’s more grievously dumb than any greek man.
all important information is conveyed in signs. normally with red borders and distinctive shapes. signs which are also reflective and glow. that’s because we aren’t retarded.Dilbert_X wrote:

I don't have the stats in front of me but I imagine I'd be more likely to get in a wreck caused by an American driver than a visitor from Germany or Nunavit.Trump, on October 9, said he spoke to Johnson on the phone about the incident. “We’re going to speak to her very shortly and see if we can do something. It was an accident, a terrible accident,” Trump told reporters. “We’re going to speak with her and see what we can come up with, so that there can be some healing. “There’s tremendous anger over it. It’s a terrible incident, there’s tremendous anger, and I understand the anger from the other side.”

Please find a pictogram which conveys the above information, not that it would be needed if people learned the road rules in the first place, which asians typically don't.uziq wrote:

Those are normal driving conditions in Australia.good job though at conveying vital life-saving information as thin black text on a white background. i’m sure it works brilliantly on a sunny day at 90kmph.

err, there are give way signs in the UK dilbert. they are large red triangles afaik, one of the most basic and common signs. there are even junction signs that specify priority for giving way, based on the thickness of the arrows.Dilbert_X wrote:
Thats not a give way though is it?
You haven't been on a motorway have you. Feel free to find some evidence to back your assertions.
Its in the highway code, there are no signs, even with a massive fucking sign people can't seem to remember not to sit in the right hand lane at 80ks.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/0 … omy-427556Top Federal Reserve officials on Wednesday said the central bank has a clear role to play in fighting the damaging economic effects of racism in the U.S. and should do much more to address it.
Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari and Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren delivered that message in the first of an extraordinary series of planned Fed events focused on race and the economy.
"This is a time for us to not shy away," said Bostic, the first African American to lead a regional Fed bank. "But we need to step forward and be present in this conversation and own that we have a role to play."
The comments from the leading Fed officials were the latest evidence of the central bank's growing attention to persistent inequality in the economy — a gap that appears to be widening during the coronavirus pandemic. Black and Hispanic workers have been hit harder by the economic fallout from the Covid-19 lockdown than white workers.
It seems talk about labor shortages in America might actually have something to do with businesses being unwilling to hire the labor available to them because they don't um culturally connect with that labor.Kashkari said he had observed a big disconnect between how business viewed the labor market and workers viewed the labor market.
"Frankly, business had it wrong. Business kept saying, we can't find workers," he said. "And it was nonsense. The workers were out there."
