“Depending on the proposal, Carter tried this and kids were getting hit and killed walking to school buses because it was still dark in the morning. Is anyone mentioning this?”

I don’t believe it. FAKE NEWS

FAKE NEWS

I was a school kid when this occurred. Recall a freezing winter morning, in the dark, looking up at the full moon, and a pal offered me a slug from his flask. Never liked the taste of booze, before, but I took a healthy swig, because of the warming sensation.

Fake for two reasons: I graduated high school before Carter was elected, this took place during the Nixon administration (RN also decreed a cutback on Christmas lighting). Secondly, the mothers of the day predicted exactly this outcome, so if kids had been getting hit and killed, even at average numbers, it would have been BIG news in my area, I don’t recall ever hearing about a real case.

Thank you.
