By voting against self interest for the public good, when it’s your turn?

New districts aren’t functioning cities though. They’re typically occupied by middle class to upper middle class people who are somewhat ethnically homogenous.

Gridded cities function much more efficiently for movement of goods and people, than hub and spoke cities. And what cities are all about, is movement of goods,…

He’s teaching at an Ivy League school. Where the wealthy send their children, to be indoctrinated in the culture in which the wealthy thrive while the majority of people see deteriorating opportunities and prospects.

If the children of the wealthy have empathy, someday they might be willing to adapt an attitude of…

But it will fit under the bed, where it will stay until the person moves.

but success stories aren’t entirely unheard of.

I’m 58 years old. Is this relevant to my interests?

And yet, still I vote for the person most likely to prevent it to give younger people a better future, even though we have no kids and no horse in this race, and it might drive us from retirement and our microbusiness to driving Uber until the autonomous cars take…

When has anyone’s idea of a “city of the future” actually been made into a “city of the present”?

I imagine going through a multi lane intersection would be a lot like this (should start at 1:49)

I’m not going to complain when a corporation does something right. Let alone a sports organization. I hope it’s the start of a larger trend.

When I included my actual hourly pay, and unpaid time I had to deal with a car in the shop, and a rental car when it wasn’t running, a new car was indeed cheaper.

If you consider that your time, and sense of security, are worth nothing, than a car that needs frequent repair is worth keeping.

Aren’t bees supposed to be going extinct or something?

Yeah, but here’s the lie about TV stations using “Beta”. Consumer Beta was “Betamax”, and TV station Beta was “Betacam”. There was far more difference between the two, than between Betamax and VHS.

I think we had a Beta machine lying around as recently as a year ago. My wife was in a Beta household in the 80s.

I sold Beta and VHS in the early 80s. There were technical claims that it had a better picture, but our side by side comparison didn’t hold that up. There are a lot of slow times when you’re a salesman on…

You feel weird, because you live in a world where the media and various constituencies, have convinced you that someone or something is either good or evil.

The VHS tapes subtly say “Don’t make the mistake of picking Beta”. The VHS vs Beta war was still in full swing at the time. But Beta was losing badly.

The reason Trump is the leading candidate for the Republican party, is that the media can’t stop giving him free publicity that advances his cause in the Republican primary. INCLUDING GAWKER. Even MSNBC has spent ALL morning, covering a Trump rally in Arizona.

It is. Farmers in California get their water for from $3 to $20 per acre foot. Desalinated water is about $2,000 per acre foot.

I don’t recall seeing these on the streets when they were a new thing. Pretty good sales pitch, but not many people bit.

It’s a golden age for us hot hatch fans. It would be more golden in the US, if we had the Renaults and Opel Astra VXR/OPC. At least we get the Focus RS.

I’ve got the middle child (Focus ST) and its more fun than any practical car has any right to be.

Nope. That’s why I have a Ford Focus ST and not some form of Chevy. I was kind of a GM brand loyalist, and gave them first shot, but they had nothing.

They might have had me if they’d imported the Opel Astra VXR/OPC in the US. And not that Buickized sedan version.
