These deaths are policy choices by lawmakers who value ‘business’ over people’s lives. There is no justification whatsoever to licensing someone who drove drunk and killed someone.

This isn’t fucking hard. It’s simple: if you drive drunk and hurt/kill someone, you permanently lose your license to drive. Forever. No exceptions.

One of the main reasons people oppose these types of consequence is for business: people rely on cars to get to work, so if you ban a bunch of people from driving, employees can’t get to work, which is bad for business.

It’s fucking sick. I’m so tired of living in a country where lawmakers put economic interests over people’s lives every. single. time. If it’s ever safety vs money—money always win every time. On so many fundamental levels, government in the US moves farther and farther away from serving the people, this is an example of that, and I’m fucking done. We need new governments; we need a new social contract.
