Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print.
GOVERNMENT-SUBSIDIZED GETAWAYS
The nation’s capital has a remarkable talent for creating problems and then racing to clean up the consequences.
The latest example comes courtesy of Lime, the bright green electric scooter and bike company that have become as ubiquitous on the D.C. streets as the unruly teens who ride them.
In recent months, the scooters have been used as getaway vehicles in a string of robberies and assaults, as teenage suspects use them in service of their shenanigans.
Of course, the same city that can’t get its youth crime problem under control is also subsidizing these vehicles.
Now we’re supposed to applaud Lime for apparently using Artificial Intelligence to crack down on the issue.
