The Patriot Act was the worst thing we’d ever seen. And then Obama expnded it. Current leadership: “Hold my beer.”

This was my immediate thought. These guys aren’t the brightest, but rich guys hire smart strategists.

No one on the right believes it was a Nazi salute. There were pics of Tim Walz doing almost the same shortly afterwards. I’m not saying it was the same, but I am saying people on the right don’t believe it.

Yes let’s put on our “preferred” propaganda.

In the winter people walk in the plowed roads in Michigan. But mostly people ride snowmobiles everywhere when there’s a lot of snow on the ground. You don’t want to be walking on a snowmobile track.

And just because you give a bill a name doesn’t mean it’s effective. The inflation reduction act, did not.

But can you fit four 200kg people in the Miata?

Yeah their impact has mostly been lost too. I’ve never had a job where I worked less than 55 hrs/6 days. Pensions don’t exist. Most jobs in my area pay around $12/hr. Even skills like welding pay $15. You need three incomes per household just to survive on those wages.

This why I drive anything less than 2500 miles. That’s two days of driving and I get to see the country. Flying would take a whole day anyway, and then I’d have to get a rental car on the other end anyway. Plus it’s difficult to find a decent lifted 4wd rental, and I usually travel to spend time in the mountains on unimproved roads and hiking and camping. Probably similar carbon footprint to flying anyway.

I’m inside the 275 loop in Cincinnati but can’t get downtown without getting a ride in a car to a bus station. At that point, might as well just use the car to get downtown. Or to wherever else I’m going. Train travel is WAY too slow in the US. I’ve never had a vacation longer than a week, I’d barely be arriving at anywhere interesting and I would already be due back at work.

I guess the quote is from 1905. I’m in my fifties and have never seen broad union involvement anywhere.

I have tried multiple times to get union jobs but they’re less than 5% of jobs in the last few communities I have lived in. My wife and daughter have union jobs. But it’s certainly not like they’re available for everyone.

Sometimes they invent crimes that didn’t happen. You could say they’re creating crime.

This is SOOOO much more bike friendly than anything near my home. We don’t have sidewalks, no shoulder on the road. Just two narrow lanes, high speed limits and lots of big trucks, with a rocky ditch on the side.

I’ve never been to Toronto but I’ll be there next week. Parking is a mess where I’m staying near downtown, I may use this!

I’m not disagreeing with the post, but mass transit is completely non-existent where I live. We have so far to go.
