Why should taxpayers subsidize someone’s dumb decision to buy a Florida beach house?

Idiocracy

While I know things are generally more expensive in Switzerland, $685,000 is crazy expensive for just 18 kW (48 panels).

Most voters don’t have an attorney checking their mail-in ballot.

Nevada uses two forms for gathering signatures, one for candidates and another for ballot initiatives. The Secretary of State gave the Green Party the wrong form. The forms are basically identical.

It is not the first time Democrats has used dubious methods to deprive Green Party ballot access.

It would also help to provide some type of calculation or explanation for how they even came up with that number. Reading the report, the 5% looks made-up.

Sorry, but it is mainly Biden’s policies. The administration has largely ignored white collar crime, especially when it comes to things like price collusion, antitrust, etc.

Case in point: the DOJ lawsuit against RealPage software (which landlords were using to collude on apartment prices). The company was engaged in extremely serious criminal activity, but the DOJ did not file any criminal charges.

Not mentioned in the article is that these systems are still illegal in the US.

“I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and it melts your skin off.”

That $50 billion is over a 10 year period.

Local city government cuts funding for sewer/storm drain repairs, then demands DeSantis pay for it.

Again? When did they give it to them the first time?

When they confirmed Clarence Thomas in 1991.

It is actually much worse than that. The problem they are having is that street-running LRT trains get stuck in traffic, causing bunching and other scheduling issues. The obvious solution is to get cars completely out of the way of the trains. But despite an official “transit first” policy, the SFMTA won’t do that. So instead they will spend >$100 million on a new signal system, which will map train locations in real-time simply to tell dispatchers what they already know – that the trains are stuck in traffic.
