In my city a program of speed cameras was instituted about a decade ago. A private speed camera corporation lobbied the city to install, maintain and administer the system. Whoever it was that they bribed to approve it did so and the system was installed. For the first year it brought in a bunch of money extorted from the citizens. Then the revenue dropped below the minimum amount that the corporation wrote into the contract as their cut (people figured out where all of the cameras were). At that point the system was costing the city money rather than generating revenue as the corporation had promised. So they started using mobile cameras. This worked for a short time but the blowback was sharp. In the end the system was scrapped.

Someone needs to do it. Luigi?
Two sentences there. The first is factually correct, though useless. The second is obviously complete bullshit, though strangely accepted by quite a few otherwise intelligent people.
I brew coffee with dark roasted beans. I measure the beans by volume before grinding. Been doing that for decades. I guess I'm just making coffee improperly
