Seem's Worldwide Road Rage
What is it with this? Seems all countries. Could it be over population? I've read where Giant Food Companies are trying to bioengineer crops, to make us less fertile.
What do you all think? during 60's and 70's each summer my family would drive from SF Bay Area, to San Antonio TX. Never saw the hate thats going on todays roads.

It is unusual. Just this morning a homeless looking dude went off with loud, seriously, loud cussing, and derision of one of the barista’s at Peet’s coffee. A smallush guy behind the counter came around and told him in no uncertain terms he had to leave and walked him out, the guy cussing the whole way. I watched it all closely to offer back up if needed.
Not a driving incident, but out of control anger nonetheless. I said elsewhere that I am really going to work on not interacting with angry people on the highway. Very little upside, possibly much downside.

Driving, like dancing or sports, is a physical expression of the driver's mental process. There has been an notable increase in aggressive driving since Covid. Things like treating the speed limit as only a suggestion for someone else, tailgating, lane hogging, using approach roads for passing lanes, etc. It's really frightening to see how many people are "driving angry" these days. Even the cars reek of aggression: go to Costco and try to find your giant SUV in the lot. I find it especially shocking that CDL drivers have become more aggressive...you never used to see semi's tailgating, now it's pretty common to see a truck filling the rearview. And as for motorcycles, the combination of illegal mufflers, wheelies, and blasting through the "middle lane" is provocative. The immediate effect has been an upward spike in traffic fatalities, but the larger implications of an angry population have yet to be quantified.

Although we can't control all of it, it seems the real nut-case road ragers come out around 4:00 P.M. and go to around 7:30 PM. If you can schedule your trips around those times, your blood pressure will lower.

Road Rage
Well ;
We just had another car shooting yesterday, some guy got out of his car and shot the other guy who died and crashed into the median near the S.R. 90 freeway . Bio engineered foods are bad, very bad as is adding steroids ~ in the 1960's and 1970's most 13 year old girls didn't have 38D chests.....
