I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.

I've read somewhere that it's become quite dangerous to be a pedestrian/cyclist over the last few decades in the USA

Where I live we have a major intersection and the drivers looking to make a right turn are looking left to see if any cars are coming ( at 40 mph ) they're not looking right where a person is standing waiting for the walk sign to come on. When the walking sign comes on , the drivers make the right turn and only notice that a person is walking then; they swerve around you in shock and disbelief... IK this because it's happened to me numerous/countless times...
