Just would like u to investigate this. Remember Trump was planning to abolish NOAA? I think it has begun. This is how it ends. Because Trump thinks the only issue with climate change, is that people are aware that it is happening.

You are too intelligent and well-read not to know the dangers of driving while distracted.
Please explain why you would risk everything your 1.5 million subscribers have helped you build by making YouTube videos while you're driving?
Seriously, do you not recognize how easy it would be for your opposition to discredit your judgement by showing the videos you made while driving?
And, all things considered, would they be all that wrong?
If your excuse is that it isn't illegal where you make the videos, that makes you sound just like the MAGAshpere where their excuse is too often, "Well, it's not illegal."
A functional society would not need laws for what is so obviously ethically and morally wrong.
Second to lastly, you may not have been involved in an accident, yet. But if you are involved in an accident, whether while making a video or not, the videos of you making videos while driving will get played at a personal injury trial. No matter what point you make on the videos or how good you look in them, when they are played for a jury in a personal injury trial it won't look good.
The MAGAsphere will be looking to make examples of people in Indee Media. Why make it easy for them? Why load their weapons and hand them to them?
If you and others in Indee Media don't think they are coming for you, you have seriously not assessed the situation properly. Not only are they coming for you, they already know where you are. Be careful. Be safe. Be prepared. Have an evac plan. "Don't Do Anything Stupid."
In fact, maybe your "punishment" should be to remind your viewers at the end of every video: "DON'T Do Anything Stupid." Like using violence against government forces. The struggle won't be won that way and it plays right into one of the opposition's greatest strengths. It provides an excuse to retaliate in great numbers and an excuse to implement even more repressive measures. Using violence against gov't forces is historically the gateway to atrocities.
One other thing: A number of ppl in Indee Media are telling viewers, "Don't give up", "Stay in the fight", etc. I know what they mean and most other people do to. But words take on actions and people running into a fight without knowing what they are getting into are either going to freak the opposition forces out where they later claim, "The suspect made a furtive movement and I took action to defend my life and the lives of others" or just plain run headlong into a situation and get themselves hurt.
InDee Media spokespeople need to think about how their words could be misconstrued, used against them and attempt to avoid using words like "fight", "battle", "war" and other military descriptors. Because eventually words become action. The time may come for all that, but the situation is not their, yet. There is still much to be done to prevent, avoid or avert violence.
Think about what you're doing and the example it sets.
If you can't LEAD BY EXAMPLE; don't lead at all.

Key Distracted Driving Statistics
The following distracted driving statistics illustrate just how dangerous motorists can be when they take their focus from the road.
About 3,000 People Die in Auto Accidents Due to Distracted Driving Every Year
Each year, approximately 3,000 people lose their lives to car accidents resulting from distracted drivers. This accounts for between 8% and 9% of all fatal motor vehicle collisions on roads across the United States.
3,142 People Died Because of Distracted Driving in 2020
In 2020, 3,142 people died in collisions involving distracted driving. This included 396 fatalities in which a cell phone was being used at the time of the crash. While many people assume cell phones are the leading cause of distracted driving fatalities, many other behaviors can be equally dangerous.
2,880 Fatal Accidents in 2020 Involved a Distracted Driver
Although 3,142 people died in distracted-driving-related crashes, this does not mean there were a total of 3,142 separate collisions. In fact, there were just 2,880 total crashes resulting from driver distraction. The fact that the death toll is higher than the number of independent collisions demonstrates that some collisions caused multiple fatalities.
8% of Fatal Car Accidents Are Due to Distracted Driving
Since 2016, between 8% and 9% of fatal crashes have involved distracted driving. In 2020, the most recent year for which data is available, these collisions accounted for 8% of deadly accidents.
While this is a far lower percentage of crashes than impaired driving, which accounts for approximately 30% of all fatal accidents, it still reflects the extreme risk presented by driver distraction.
9 People Die Everyday From Distracted Driving
Distracted driving costs lives throughout the year. A total of nine people die every day in the United States from distracted driving.
324,652 Were Injured in Car Accidents Due to Distracted Driving in 2020
Not all distracted driving crashes are fatal. But driver inattention can also result in collisions that cause serious injury. The toll of driver distraction is far greater when considering crashes that caused injury but were not fatal. In fact, 324,652 people were hurt in distracted driving crashes in 2020.
587 Pedestrians and Cyclists Were Killed in Distracted Driving Auto Accidents in 2020
It is not just drivers in motor vehicles who are affected by distracted driving. Pedestrian accidents are also common. A total of 587 pedestrians and bicycle riders lost their lives in 2020 as a result of actions caused by inattention. These non-occupants may have lost their lives to drivers who were not paying attention or may have been distracted and made dangerous choices that contributed to collisions.Types of Distracted Driving
Distracted driving is a major issue, but many people don’t realize how many different forms it can take. It’s not just about texting or talking on the phone; there are other distractions that can be just as dangerous.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) breaks down distracted driving into three main types:
Visual distractions:
These occur when you take your eyes off the road. This could be using a GPS, looking at billboards, checking out an accident, or even admiring the scenery.
Manual distractions:
These happen when you take your hands off the wheel. Eating, using your phone, adjusting the radio, or reaching for something in the car all fall into this category.
Cognitive distractions:
These occur when your mind isn’t focused on driving. This could be daydreaming, talking, worrying, or even singing along to your favorite song.
Understanding these types of distractions can help us all be more aware and safer on the road.
42% of Distracted Drivers Were Young Adults
A significant 42% of distracted drivers were aged between 20 and 39 years, highlighting this age group as the most prevalent among distracted drivers.
30% of Distracted Drivers Were Middle-Aged
30% of distracted drivers were between the ages of 40 and 59, making this another significant age group involved in fatal crashes.
Like it or not, your role as an influencer makes you a role model. So maybe you haven't been involved in an accident, yet. Can you say the same about all of your viewers who were influenced by your actions.
Who deserves our respect? The hardest working man I ever saw was years ago, when attendants actually pumped your gas into your car for you. It was a dark 6:15 am in the middle of winter in Upstate NY. The temp was a ways below zero and the snow was quickly building up on the road. When a lot of snow is forecast you should have plenty of gas in the tank. I stopped at the gas station, and the man came out immediately. He commented pleasantly on the snow we expected, and went and filled the tank without any complaint. I have been in awe of that man ever since. He believed it was his duty to do a good job, no matter how little money he got for it. These are people you can count on. How much fortitude do you think Trump or Elon would have had? They wouldn't even have come out of the office, even though their "ski gear" would have kept them a lot warmer than this man was.
