My city made busses free but they only run like once per hour so it’s still impossible to efficiently use the system. Unfortunately it’s not just about cost. It’s also about usability.

These are definitely not pigeons.

I like my Subaru if that helps.

I wonder if courts would uphold the provisions against discharge through bankruptcy after this. Probably but I feel like they shouldn’t.

Two questions:

1. Why would we think otherwise considering that everything in the universe seems to rotate from galactic clusters to galaxies to black holes to stars to planets to the brains of physicists trying to reconcile relativity and quantum?
2. Does the math actually work out? If so, is there a known constant for the angular momentum of the universe that would explain what we’re seeing?

I hope we fall a few votes short of veto-proof. Then Trump vetos. Then we get a veto-proof vote. Maybe that’s asking for too much, though.

Oh, that person is way too alpha for therapy.

I would think that all of the school officials could be brought up on charges of failing to report as mandatory reporters.

I got an MS in a STEM field and wasn’t able to buy a house until I was 36, supervising multiple employees, and married to someone who also contributed.

How the fuck is Kid fucking Rock still relevant in any way? I thought he would have just disappeared into obscurity after the 90s ended. Do some people actually still give this guy their money for some reason?

Edit: How the hell does the “ba with the ba with the bang da bang diggy diggy - diggy said the boogie said up drop the boogie” guy have eleven studio albums? And who the hell are the 5.3M monthly listeners on Spotify? This blows my mind!

I hope the lawyers keep quitting and no one replaces them until this administration has been tossed in the trash. I worry that if lawyers with consciences don’t come back, though, their positions will be filled by sycophants. I also worry that once the Democrats take back over they will be unwilling to fire the new right-wing sycophants.

People enlist for a variety of reasons. I don’t think that who the current president is typically has much impact on those decisions.

What benefits does a shell like this have over bash and how hard is it to transition?

Even if true, $1B is nothing in the federal budget. The federal goverent spends $1.9T on heath care costs.

The ICE budget is $37.5B. So, if it were true that $1B is being spent on health care for undocumented immigrants, one year of the ice budget could pay for it for nearly 40 years.

It is so frustrating that we don’t have high speed rail yet. The promises made to me as a kid were killed somewhere between the and now. I feel like Charlie Brown with a football…

Unfortunately I think contracting population would result in lots of self-generated problems because the capitalistic line must keep going up. Shrinking population would make that hard.

Maybe we can let go of the idea that the line must go up, though? Hah…

I don’t get something here. How do they have a facial recognition database that is accurate enough to even begin to attempt this? Yes, most Americans have some form of photo ID but many of those IDs don’t require updating the photo more than once every 10 years. Also, not everyone has a ohoto ID. How can they possibly think this database is good enough to use for determining who should be arrested?

Beyond that, ICE has stated that they are trusting the database even over actual documentation. They say the database doesn’t lie, even if you have documentation saying otherwise…

I’m not trying to be snarky, actually wondering. What sources do you approve of?

And now I’m going to go research the independent because I had no idea about their relationships.

Maybe show them this… The supreme court is considering whether to hear a case that could be used to reverse it’s gay marriage decision from 2015.

This is true almost everywhere in the US.
