CT state troopers entered up to 60K fake tickets, issued to imaginary white people, to game a database designed to ferret out racial profiling. (And didn't enter real tickets issued to Black people.) One in 4 troopers were doing it. And it seems like nobody is being punished for this crime.

Someone on FB was decrying the impact this is having on owners of the shoddily built luxury cars, claiming they’re “mostly our people.” Pobrecitos.
Meanwhile, I traded in my inherited Tesla for a Kia and couldn’t be happier. The car actually works and is unlikely to kill me.
We're going to see a serious spike in maternal and infant mortality rates in these red states. And it will add to the growing red/blue state life expectancy gap that gets far too little attention.
