This is an interesting case study of the progressive stack. They're protecting people by taking away protection. The liberal mind works in mysterious ways.
“Mysterious” is putting it mildly.
So, whites wear the helmet, “communities of color and the homeless” do not, let’s cancel the discriminating law
it's a racist move: let the POC die more
Why should we care if people wear bike helmets? They can only hurt themselves. It’s a personal decision.
Do you feel that way about seatbelts?
Yes. And I also feel the same about vaccines. You do whatever makes sense for you; it’s none of my business as long as I can make my own choices for myself.
