Also smaller metros that saw costs explode due to remote work. Boise saw the average price of a house rise by 60% in a little over 2 years. Wages also trended up but that was primarily because of the transplants who made substantially more money than the average existing resident.

It seems like certain SEPTA features are broken as well, although the main app is still functional.

We actually have a surplus right now but my understanding is it's more the result of creative accounting related to spending down COVID relief money.

Ours picked income earned within city limits. Ask me how that's going in an era of WFH...

Which I think is explained by cinema occupancy and also home viewing. I can't think of a theater that charges more for longer movies so at the end of the day a long movie might cost you one to two showings worth of revenue.

At home, you can add an intermission whenever you want.

Yeah, I think teenagers doing drugs even when those drugs are not a particularly good time, is a pretty consistent thing.

In his defense, the Eagles offense hasn't exactly been moving the ball well so the risk of going for it is pretty low once you get past the Lions 40.

I don't think we really want every play to be reviewable for a false start. I think it would generate a challenge flag in every touchdown or other big play.

Also, that number usually includes a bunch of overtime that wouldn't be there if they were properly staffed.

The NFL Europe stuff is so emblematic of what’s wrong with the NFL. In its quest for omnipresence, the NFL has made Commanders/Dolphins, an ass football game that should be flying under the radar at 1 PM, something that people can focus on. You’re spreading it too thin!

Most sports people’s timelines: great drive by Georgia.

Ours: are those fucking avocados?

Society broke down and all, but you really still need to stop at red lights I can't believe we need to explain this one, but it seems that we really do

so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...

your idle post: you'd think sourdough bread would be more popular

you: what the hell

the other side, equally deranged side: welcome, friend. join us.

This is basically what I've been saying. It's hard to negotiate when the other side is just gunning people down because lol lmao. There is no real lever of pressure to apply in the face of sheer nihilism.
