I read this as being dismayed that we can’t get nearly enough members in the house and senate to impeach and remove him.

Wealthier customers are more likely steal while using self-checkout, survey finds A new LendingTree survey found that 27% of self-checkout users admitted to stealing, with higher earners more likely to do so than those who make less.

This is more common than you’d think.

AFAIK this won’t be for the public to post on, but I do love the idea of a hybrid one bc people just use the lampposts currently.

I lived in College Park during that weird storm in 2022. We lost power for 2.5 days. City council had inquired into the cost to bury lines, and it was an astronomical cost per property owner. πŸ˜”

Back in my day (04-08), school was 7:30-2:10. We had a half hour for lunch, but a good chunk of that was standing in line.

I didn’t do sports, but I know it was for several hours after school.

I was so sad to see a Google Street View of my city from 2020 where there were several streeteries. All gone now despite being legalized.

My city literally purchased a building to prevent housing from being built in order to preserve parking.

Can’t make this stuff up.

The only extra lane that can fix traffic congestion is a bike lane.

The whole "war on cars" whining is really the perfect example of, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
