There's plenty of demand for it. The problem is cycling infrastructure doesn't exist. If I can't get from a to b using unified infrastructure then it isn't infrastructure, my safety isn't improved if the bike path ends and I'm forced to cycle on the road to make the next leg.

Now on the flip side you can look to any country that actually has developed proper end to end infrastructure that it becomes insanely heavily used. The demand is there, but there's only demand for proper solutions, not designs by politicians attempting to murder people.

Strongly believing unverifiable things is not a sign of active intelligence. It is a sign of selective, chosen stupidity. The fundamental fault in your argument is that highly intelligent people apply that intelligence universally. Highly intelligent religious people are a nice example that demonstrates many do not. I call that "stupidity of the 2nd order" or lack of wisdom.

IMO, this is even worse than when somebody is fundamentally stupid. Such a person cannot help it. But having the skills and choosing to not apply them is utterly pathetic.

I can't say I really understand your comment. What is meant by "the border is secure"? It doesn't matter whether the left or right media tells me that because that's only the beginning of the job for media. The obvious question is, what numbers or studies are leading to the conclusion that the border is secure. The real job of the media is to report on the numbers and allow people to do what they want with them and decide whether they agree with them. Unfortunately some people believe the media on the surface because they don't understand the numbers anyway and that's where problems arise.
