Saw this on HackerNews via @hn50@social.lansky.name

My Mastodon post about it & @watmildon@en.osm.town’s reply linking to OpenStreetMap’s documentation with an example to find banks far away from police stations

    Is this satire? Maps help people find places, that’s the concern?

      The only thing that can beat a bad guy with a map is a good guy with a map.

            I firmly believe US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and uh, the Iraq, and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should. Our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, or should help South Africa and help the Iraq, and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.
