If they blocking then i guess then cant handle being in office and reading or hearing what the public has to say about what they doing as if those in office always have the right answer to anything without getting input from the outside at anytime. i try see things from both sides so i try be neutral on things like seeing from the outside in and all. so if they block then it time they resign from office if cant handle the publics input at anytime.

Your friend needs to tell Ozawa that it's illegal for public officials to block people on Twitter. Not just against Twitter policy, it's against the law for a public official to block the public. It was reaffirmed just today in court.

Oh I'm so glad I'm not a public official. I have over 5,000+ people blocked on Twitter. I'm... opinionated.  And that attracts trolls.

I hope they ban electric scooters in the gaslamp during comic-con.  People aren't supposed to ride them on the sidewalk but of course they do.  It's enough of a hazard normally, when the streets are packed it's going to be carnage.  It would be one thing if they were experienced riders but many of the scooter riders are tourists that have never been on one before in their lives.

Today, I was down at the convention center for my volunteer assignment and must have seen a hundred zip by on scooters, and only 1 had a helmet. All were riding on the sidewalk.   :(
It is 2024, and I am still asking...where's my flyin' car??!! @fannishmarcia

The law requires it.  How strictly is it enforced?  Never in my experience.  I've been riding electric scooters for over 20 years.  The only time I've been stop by a cop was so that he could ask me what I was riding because he wanted one.  This was years ago before electric scooters became so popular.

I saw on the news they were starting to ticket people. Before that they weren't. I think they were cracking down on the scooters and stuff though. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Went to downtown today with my mom and saw dozens of people riding these scooters, almost all on the sidewalk and no helmets. What surprised me was the large age-diverse people riding them. It’s not just kids or young adults but I saw a pair of elderly ladies putting along and several middle aged couples. It was find today since the sidewalks were pretty barren but I can’t belive these things are going to make any headway on crowded sidewalks unless they start to try to barrel through people.

Rental bikes and scooters
« Reply #86 on: July 18, 2018, 03:54:39 AM »
I've been riding the scooters for the past week- on adv of 1- to $3.50 per ride. I enjoy and use them almost on a daily basis.
I to see a lot of folks riding on the sidewalk.

I can mountain bike & ride a bike in the city.

if you feel the urge to try one, go slow around pedestrians & road bumps, treat it like riding a scooter, obey the traffic laws and ride in the street. Also a trick i learned in figure skating, keep the knees bent like a spring. This enables a bit more stability and flexibility when going over bumps
But he most important thing is to drive defensively

If anyone wants to try one, I saw this next to a bunch of scooters (not sure if this is actually legitimate):
