they want to have the same rights as auto drivers, so they should follow the same rules.

If you use the road you should have to follow the rules like everyone else.

As a driver I'm already worried about hitting a cyclist when driving past them. Some cyclists are unpredictable and don't always stop at Stop signs or signal when turning.

It's dangerous for them not to stop and just to yield

They are already dangerous and have no care for road laws.

If they want to be on the road and not pay taxes for said road, they should at least follow all the rules of the road!

9 out of 10 cars don't even stop at stop signs. Cyclists need to be extra careful when out on the road. It's scary out there.

All these laws are passed to give cyclist the same laws as a vehicle. It's what they push for so yes they should be required to stop. Maybe cars should yield at stop signs. That's how dumb it sounds

Also if they would use the bike lanes how they are supposed to be used and ride single file there would be less bikes hit. You push for the bike lane then you better use it. Common sense. Use it too!!

Is this just for bikes? Because if you're like me and ride a longboard, the roads in town are steep, so you catch too much speed and most of the time, see the car way before they see you to stop.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
