    Q: Honk: I saw your response on speed cameras, but what about the red-light cameras? Must signs be posted so you know they are about? I read that a new 2026 law allows cities to start giving automated citations via red-light cameras now. The yellow lights go from one second to 10 seconds, so that’s unfair. If it was posted, I’d be super conservative at those lights.

Yet in America today, we are dependent on every whim, utterance and narcissistic rage post from our president, as he pursues policies that could disrupt our lives. In that way, we’re more like North Korea than our founders’ America.
