On April 4, Governor Jared Polis of Colorado signed into law SB24-079, which makes it legal for #motorcycles to filter between stopped cars in traffic or at stoplights. This makes Colorado the fifth state to legalize #lanesplitting.
Lane splitting by motorcycles in this way makes sense. It speeds up traffic flow for everyone because it shortens lines of stopped traffic. Also, it encourages commuting by motorcycle instead of by car, which again reduces traffic load.
But an awful lot of car drivers hate it anyway. And ultimately, it comes down to that they see someone else getting something they're not. The getting actually benefits them as well. But they can't see that.
This is part of an endemic problem that all of America is bedeviled by. Far too many people can't stand to see someone else getting something that they're not, even if they didn't want that thing in the first place. And even when overall, it actually benefits them for their neighbor to get that thing. And next month, or next year, it may be them getting something that their neighbor doesn't ... assuming their neighbor doesn't try to stop them from getting it in revenge.
America has a really terrible problem with #selfishness. Ultimately it's part of what's at the root of the MAGA movement. Selfishness. God forbid anybody should get anything you don't. God forbid any money should ever be spent on anything that might benefit somebody different from you, even if it benefits you as well. God forbid anybody who isn't like you should ever have anything. And people get so consumed by this kind of hate that they are unable to see that the rich people they worship, like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, the Waltons, the Sacklers, despise them just as much as they despise their hard-working neighbor who happens to be from, say, Honduras or Lebanon.
They are going to have a very rude awakening one day if they manage to bring the US into a place where its wealthy elites don't need their votes any more. But they won't care. Because all they'll be able to see is that the people they hate are getting it even worse than they are. And after all, it was all those people's fault anyway, really. Because God forbid anything could ever be their own fault. It's so liberating to have an invisible friend who tells you that nothing you do can ever be wrong.
