  • I had a recent experience like this (that was admittedly less intense) where I left feeling like a complete idiot, and I can’t even remember what it was, and none of my coworkers probably do either because we’re all idiots. If it matters to your coworkers they’ll ask about your well-being out of concern because they care; if it matters to your coworkers and they mock you, they’re the type of people who’s opinion of you isn’t with anything

    Those are some of the first below-grade expressways built in the country, so the shorter on ramps are from an era with fewer and slower cars, and there isn’t space to lengthen them. The law only changed to stop the insurance companies from using zip codes to determine rates, and reduced the maximum payout for healthcare related costs from a crash, with the aim of lowering costs, but of course the insurance companies worked around it.

    Insurance is required in all of Michigan, with fines, license suspension, and jail all possible for not having it. With Michigan’s no-fault insurance we have some of the highest rates in the country in Detroit—especially relative to income—and almost no viable alternative to owning a car.

    That said, as a native Detroiter I feel safer in Detroit driving around other Detroiters, the suburbanites and out of state folks are always in the way.
