Damn, he didn't have to do UT San Antonio dirty like that

Used to work at a tire factory and we got paid $1.50 a shift on shower time. I absolutely needed it with how filthy i would get each shift

They essentially just want a return to feudalism, but they know that would get them laughed out of any serious discussions, so they dress it up as "economic liberty"

India would be amy Libertarian's wettest dream if only they weren't incredibly racist. Worker's rights are almost non-existent due to a neverending supply of fresh labor at any skill level, barely any environmental regulations enforced by the government, and is essentially just a capitalist free for all.

The Fed isn't earmarking the money to dig up and replace each pipe. It's grant money for municipalities to apply for to fix their pipes. So maybe it's gonna cost Citytown Ohio $24 million to swap their pipes. The city can issue a bond for $16 million, get a grant from the state for an additional $6 million, amd a federal grant for the remaining $2 million. Meanwhile, the federal government wont issue anymore funding for their water treatment facilities until all the lead pipes are removed. So Citytown can either get off their ass and start digging up pipes next month, or be SOL when their sewage treatment facility needs an overhaul in 8 years.

A Sarasota impact is preferred since it forces the storm sirge further south. An impact north of the bay means that all the storm surge gets funneled straight into Tampa Bay and the area of higher population density

I'm gonna tell you right now it is more than just one county. Every rural county in Ohio has wind turbines on the ballot every election cycle, with the farmers opposed and the town/village residents in favor. Part of that started off because (in my county) the electricity was mostly going to go to Michigan rather than lowering rates here in NW Ohio. But that quickly evolved into "wind turbines cause brain cancer"

I can see how small airports would make sense in Denmark since the landscape of islands and peninsulas makes direct paths by road or train nearly impossible. I'm in Ohio, which is comparable to Poland in geography. Rolling plains along a smooth coastline in the north with sizable hills and low mountains in the south. Flying from Toledo to Akron doesn't make any sense since driving that is less than 2 hours, and so passenger rail would be a mich better option. You barely even see commercial flights from Cleveland to Cincinnati since the driving distance is doable for a day trip. A rail line connecting Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati would be perfect for us instead of lots of tiny airlines.

Most municipal airports can't handle jet engine planes around here. They are all just small body, single engine aircraft on poorly maintained and non-level runways. They are fine for recreational flights, crop dusters, or flight instruction, but most rural airports here are little more than a few hangers and an administrative building with a runaway.

Those cities have grocery stores every exit off the highway. I'm in NW Ohio and while every town over 15,000 people has at least onc grocery store, lota of the surrounding villages do not. 30 miles each direction to a grocery store is rough. Growing up in suburbs of major cities, i cant remember a grocery store being further than 5 miles away. It's a vastly different experience.

I love this ghost just like my grandmother before me, and her grandmother before her, and her grandmother before her, and her grandmother before her...
