Like, sure, s*x is great, but what if we all just sat around a big table with biscuits & gravy & talked about the government, or drag shows, or books, or television, or movies, or music, or sports, or whatever. Wouldnโ€™t that be cool? Guys? Whereโ€™d yโ€™all go?

Why Cup teams are asking for over $350 million in damages from NASCAR at trial A renowned economist took the witness stand Monday to explain his calculations. NASCAR, unsurprisingly, didnโ€™t agree with all of his findings.

Itโ€™s honestly kind of amazing that there are people who earnestly want to live in a world where gov agencies arenโ€™t staffed by experts but instead by the close personal friends and allies of the current president.

All that said, I tend to think car culture is a massive drain on society, writ large, so take all those opinions with a grain of salt. lol

By that logic, only Public Works employees (or whatever itโ€™s called in CHI) & clear snow from the streets should be allowed to park in those spaces, right? Otherwise the city could just institute a โ€œyou clear it, you claim itโ€ policy?

And again, yeah, I hear you โ€” it would suck if it was me. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I could go clear the entire Lakefront park this morning but that wouldnโ€™t make it my park.

Sorry for jumping but Iโ€™m fascinated because Iโ€™m just learning about this from your post.

1. On an individual level, I hear you. It would suck (as a human) & I wouldnโ€™t want to be the person who jumps into a spot.

2. That saidโ€ฆdoing private work on a public good doesnโ€™t make it a private good.

At the risk of turning this into an old man yells at cloud moment (shocking nobody), I cannot comprehend the incessant need for noise that I feel like is all around. People need (or want?) constant noise. Noise in posts, noise in life, noise on background. No room for silence; folks canโ€™t just be.

I pay hundreds, truly thousands, of dollars (cumulatively over time) to always have this little communication box with me.
