Should the role of government be to say:

Sorry, corporations, you're going to have to pay your fair share of taxes so our citizens aren't dying in the streets

Or

Sorry, peasents, you're going to have to die in the streets so that corporations can continue to make record profits

I tend to think it should be the former. As a Canadian, we have a federal election coming up and it sucks that there is no (relevant) political party that shares my opinion.

Do you also have to pay to clean your screen?

The most recent Intel Core 2 Duo was discontinued in 2008. I doubt Intel would be able to convince anyone that this is a competing product or would cause any customer confusion. No one is going to be looking for a low end processor from over a decade ago and accidentally buy a watch.

Does it use just standard watch bands? It looks like it, but I didn't see it mentioned.

One of the things I find ridiculous about other smart watches is that they use proprietary bands. When I found out that people are paying $60+ for a silicon band for an Apple watch, it blew my mind. Also that people put screen protectors or cases on their Apple watches because their $500+ watch doesn't even have a crystal lens, and is prone to scratching.

Single family, detached housing on otherwise empty lots, in a low density, residential only suburb is not affordable housing.

Still way more dangerous than just not chasing. A traffic violation is not worth putting the lives of any bystanders at risk.

Debugging requires hard liquor.

Even if someones neighborhood wasn't designed well, changing zoning laws to allow for more density may make it more viable to put transit there. Then this hypothetical person's normally 20 minute cycle could become a 5 minute walk + 10 minute tram ride on extra hot or extra blizzardy days.

Obviously no one is suggesting moving freight by bicycle.

Someone addressed your first point. But the second two are only true when your city is so spread out to make room for huge roads and parking lots between everything. Not to mention zoning laws that make it illegal to build denser housing, or to build a grocery store near where people live.
