> This is dumb. The same way wrapping cars in bubble wrap would be dumb but also make the cars safer.

I doubt that would work, but if it did, why exactly would it be "dumb"?

> Most of the ideas in that channel are just insane emotional propaganda

Nah, most the ideas in that channel are the output of decades of empirical research on road/street safety by Dutch government agencies.

This video [1] from another channel describes how Dutch legal reforms in the early 90's enabled this evidence-based planning by correcting incentives and dramatically simplifying the regulatory framework.

You don't see why bubble wrapping cars would be dumb? Lol.

Yes, and the channel targets the US... not the Netherlands. They're not even remotely similar. Emotional propaganda is all it is.

I don't really care about what the Dutch are doing when discussing the US.
