Why do we allow cars to be sold that go faster than 75mph? Why not legally limit upper speed limits?

This would probably never happen in the US so it’s hardly worth worrying about — but I’d be for it (though it needs to be a bit higher) the moment it’s also paired with a ban on the Fat Acceptance movement and on the sale of harmful ultra-processed factory foods. Banning higher speeds would save what, a few thousand, if that, a year? Banning FA and ultra-processed foods would probably save 100,000+ a year over time in the US alone.

Now that’d cause some big whining! I love that idea, pairing them that way.
