Because that is how Great Grandpa designed them?

My great Grandfather established a company to produce the concrete railroad tie in the early 1900's or so.  It was not successful, I was able to buy an old stock certificate for the company and give it to my father a few years ago.

No.  Typically they will be quick to point the finger at others to deflect blame for their own bad policies/ideas.  "If they got vaxxed like they are supposed to this wouldn't be happening".

In that window between when the twenty somethings were supposedly fully vaccinated and could forget about taking precautions (masks, social distancing, etc), and when they were told that no, they still had to wear masks, social distance, and take other precautions, the trips to buy groceries were somewhat amusing.  Groups of hipsters suddenly started showing up, standing around in the aisles 'catching up' with their friends that they hadn't seen in a while, generally doing all the stuff that the left brings up when they want to claim Trump rallies are spreading Covid.  Grocery stores were the new hangout, since the restaurants, bars, and other gathering places were still under some restrictions.

To be fair to the rest of the world, WE point and laugh.   I'm fine with them laughing along with us, as long as they understand that Poopypants and the Dems aren't the US.

Making people fear the city streets might reduce social contact, so is the idea that increased danger and violence in the streets is good for public health?

Wasn't it Obamacare that made it illegal to charge fat people and smokers more?

ETA: If my memory isn't off, age was the only thing that Obamacare left for the medical insurance companies to charge more for.  Something of a punishment for living past 50.

But Vicky Osterweil argues that stealing goods and destroying property are direct, pragmatic strategies of wealth redistribution and improving life for the working class -- not to mention the brazen messages these methods send to the police and the state. All our beliefs about the innate righteousness of property and ownership, Osterweil explains, are built on the history of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous oppression.

As I recall, Pelosi was far, far from the first democrat to jump on the masking bandwagon.  For some time, she just wore a scarf around her neck and pulled it up over her lower face when she wanted to look like she was complying.

Probably thought her blood alcohol level was enough protection.
