There's another free OSM based app that does have some traffic data, it's called Magic Earth. Not open source though, as their business model is to sell adapted versions.

What does the size of the country have to do with it? Which good big and bad small countries are you talking about?

I think EveryDoor requires some relatively deep understanding of OSM before actually being a useful tool. So edits like this should be rare with that tool. Many of the edits like this are from when MapsMe was very popular and suddenly introduced editing, without enough nuance in the process. Bad edits do happen everywhere, you need a good balance between people who data curation and newbies making beginner mistakes. In some places, there's a lack of experienced people maintaining the data.

Isn't it as much about showing up to vote than about changing minds who to vote for?

Do as the other poster said. The Benelux is also a place where you could probably work with just English. Bonus points if you manage to get a job where you're allowed to work from, say Portugal (for the weather and the low living costs) Good luck on the job hunt!

Have you looked into the European job market? From what little I know, I have the impression here that kind of profile can pick among any number of jobs.

Someone should invent a game, that while playing demonstrates how much monopolies suck for everyone involved (except the monopolist)

France has endless suburbs. The contrast with Spain is quite stark. Suddenly most people live in town and village centres and they usually stop at the old historical borders.

If you use median, removing or not of 1000 people from a pool of millions indeed has zero impact. My guess is that they worded it like that because they assume people don't knownwhat a median is, so they describe the practical effect

They are not excluded, it's just the the number of people is used, not the amount of money

For Harris, yes. For Biden: just "not anymore". Which can happen when you have geriatric folks doing this kind of job.

I'm pretty sure they'll do increasingly farcical votes for some time after.
