I'm all for having the vans snitch on drivers. Delivery drivers are trying to get deliveries done so fast that they're by far the most wreckless drivers on residential streets in my suburban neighborhood.

for sure. especially the doordashers. at least an amazon van usually has to make multiple stops on the same block.

I'm surprised they can go fast at all while squinting at my suburban house number artfully written in cursive on the eaves instead of something more utilitarian.

You should replace that font with the Highway Gothic font for highway signs. That'll show the HOA!

for some time now, i've noticed that the delivery app folks have had other people in their car. i know as a teen, my friends and i would just drive around hanging out with no real purpose. now, they can still do that, but make some cash while doing it.

I doubt that people driving for Amazon could get away with this. I think I read somewhere they have inwardly pointed cameras in delivery vans now?

>wreckless vs. reckless
is there a name for homonyms that are antonyms?

I have seen "homophonic antonyms" to describe this, but this is a new one!
others: accepting/excepting; to raise/raze (a building)
Some are also homographic antonyms! e.g. dust -- remove dust OR add dust
