As an American, yeah that’s the right choice.
It also needs to be said that you probably can’t remain on good terms with the US, given the current regime and their “negotiation tactics”.
We can only hope that in four years you let us earn your trust back
The breakdown of democracy is not a good thing
You could argue this is the opposite, the triumph of democracy over fascism. It’s definitely a triumph of the legal system over whims of a tyrant
What makes you think they want to successful? They probably already identified their scapegoat, and just want to add a veneer of “proof”
What are the odds of her submitting to a test?
Found it: DOT gave final approval after extensive environmental analysis, and apparently is now claiming insufficient environmental analysis. I guess that demonstrates that they do need to give approval but you can’t just change your mind on a whim
after four years and 4,000 pages of federally-supervised environmental review — and barely three months after giving final approval to the Congestion Relief Program — USDOT would seek to totally reverse course,” MTA chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said
The bridges and tunnels into and out of manhattan were already tolled and this doesn’t change that.
These tolls are within manhattan, although I don’t know if the plate readers are near a border
All those toll roads everywhere are exceptions? It seems like you’d have an additional argument against capricious enforcement. Either say federally funded roads can’t have tolls or don’t - it shouldn’t be valid to enforce only the specific cases where you have a personal interest
We do have a huge federal deficit: everyone gets more than they sent these days. Only five fiscally responsible states left (and they’re not red).
The article has a line item for transit. While it’s not the highest, there’s a good chance of it being higher than anywhere else. Depending on what you’re counting there are huge investments unblocking the tracks into and out of nyc - especially beneficial to us Acela riders
They can come after you. It will be much harder to come after 20 million of us
There’s always a tunnel in progress somewhere that needs federal funding …. There’s huge Amtrak improvements going on that will help the entire northeast
Once my subaru hit the brakes suddenly and the only explanation was the road itself. It was a quick dip and immediate climb, so maybe it was steep enough for the road to look like an obstacle
Yeah, my Subaru does it once in a while, although not enough to compliment. My Tesla never has
Rotini holds lots of whatever sauce plus seems like a great consistency - substantial but not solid
Maybe. From a conversation last night:
I pay taxes so the government that is supposed to care for my fellow citizens and I, can provide at least temporary insurance for losing a job and as necessary for healthcare.
It’s still probably not legal. It’s established legal precedent that if you have a process you must follow it. I doubt they followed whatever process there may be, and am looking forward to hundreds of thousands of lawsuits
it was a day long ordeal
Isn’t , or wasn’t, there an agency that was supposed to watch for voting rights? How isn’t this a violation of your voting rights by placing an unreasonable burden in your right?
I also had about 5 minute voting time, maybe 15 round trip from home and back. There’s nothing stopping every state from ensuring this, except for politicians who want to suppress votes or who don’t think they have to care about voters.
Out of curiosity, how are your voting places defined, or for what scale? I’ve always had them at every elementary school, which greatly limits how much of a line there can be, and you only need a dozen or so stations per
That’s all part of my reasoning, at least for myself.
I used to spend a lot for an excellent tv and sound system for the immersive experience. However over time I tend to choose options for convenience. The sound system stopped being used and no longer exists. I use the TV itself less and less.
This is the same pattern as for music. Over time I found connected speakers in every room more compelling than my good sound system, and stopped spending money on it.
I could argue a similar pattern for cable, for a landline, for CDs, for computer desks, for many things I’ve left behind.
Some of these similar patterns left behind are a trend, not just me
Wow, narrow minded because I asked for other viewpoints? Narrow minded because I wondered if it there’s a trend or if it’s just me? Maybe you should revisit your definitions
When I was 20, I also didn’t comprehend that you could have incomplete data so assumed the real world was wrong.
Imagine dealing with data tracking hundreds of millions of people across multiple generations starting from before the time of computers and having to deal with the reality of missing or lost data/documentation. We can’t confirm your birthdate because that hospital burned down 80 years ago? FRAUD. /s
