He can only destroy. First was Oklahoma public education. Now teachers. He’s a human wrecking ball.

A conservative Republican federal judge I know is apoplectic about what he’s seeing, but he can’t say anything about it.

No one is talking to the victims. Why not?

Bad terms in their offer to Yukon. Good for them in turning it down.

Yes. The public confidence in this admin’s numbers is falling like a rock.

Thanks. I suspected that there was a source for the posts, but the Labor Dept report is the generally accepted metric.

I have no idea what all of that was about. Jobs numbers come out Thursday, not Wednesday.

Ordering Walters & his spox - doesn't this mean ordering Oklahomans to pay the attorneys' fees? (Asking for me and my 4 million fellow Oklahomans.)

Didn't know you were on Threads, which I primarily follow for leisure & hobby accounts. Just followed - see you there!

I encourage you to research this through various, reliable news & information websites. This is why the US - and only the US - did away with its effective & efficient streetcar systems when other nations did not.

The conspiracy was organized by GM, Standard Oil and a tire manufacturer (Goodyear or BF Goodrich if I recall). It was to deprive people of public transportation options, and force them into cars.

An excerpt from Steve’s story brings to mind the old joke, β€œHow can you tell when CEO Aquila is lying? When his lips are moving.”

Landed after this one, after a lengthy hold. In the grass still surrounded by emergency vehicles.

Not a problem: They can harvest crops in California's Central Valley after all of the migrant workers have fled. We've been through the Grapes of Wrath before, and we can do it again!

If you’re looking for quality independent reporting on what’s happening in Los Angeles, I’ve put together a starter pack for it.

If you’d like to be added or know an indie who should be added, hmu

Can we just remove the 25th Amendment if nobody's going to invoke it?

Without seeing the agreement, yes, that's true: An at-will employee may be terminated without cause.

My grandfather made my dad learn to type, and my dad made me. I had one job 1981-1983 where there was a secretarial pool, but none since.

Embracing change isn't easy, but seeing changes coming isn't hard.

Paywall (can’t subscribe to them all). This is the safest, smartest and most logical big step to increase autonomous vehicles. Why: Highways are better marked for AVs. Corp operators can afford to equip & maintain AVs. Phase I will have humans on board while systems learn. Many other reasons…

The airlines wouldn’t dispatch a flight into a situation like that, and a pilot - having detected it - wouldn’t continue the flight. But as a passenger making a reservation you couldn’t predict where, when or for how long. It DOES point to the apparent increasing regularity of these outages.
