Oddbean new post about login | logout New Zealand has a problem that has gotten the attention of the government. Excessive traffic cones. Roughly one traffic cone in active use for every person in the country! https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/520110/nzta-put-on-notice-over-cost-of-cones-traffic-management https://i.nostr.build/M5lDn.jpg
do you have translations on Nos social ? i can put in some time for swahili
@Turiz we’d love that! https://crowdin.com/project/nossocial

The government is an embodiment of Dunning–Kruger.
Actually I think this particular case of traffic cone exhuberance, to call it something, is perfectly aligned with the political culture. The Nanny State is an ideological system. Citizens are irresponsible permanent minors who can't handle their own most basic life affairs. So they need [insert any "safety measure" forcibly supplied by the State] every inch of their way from their own home to the supermarket.
These cones are also ridiculously tall..
