Of course it’s politically viable. You get the banks on board (lending money for the project), the road developers, the construction companies, and the unions because it’s 3-plus years of guaranteed steady employment. The key problem with mass transit is that “the masses” (aka the poors) will use it.

Mass transit is evil socialism but giving billions and billions to private sector leeches who will do nothing with it to actually help the problem is fine.

It’s fucking amazing to me that spending at least $11 billion to improve commute times is more politically viable that just adding real mass transit to an area desperately in need of it. 

Yeah, I live just outside the Beltway in Maryland and it pisses me off that Hogan’s being allowed to push this through with very little resistance except from the urbanism activist circle.

The average consumer has no idea what’s under their hood or who made it. They want it to work, be cheap to run, and be powerful and they don’t care how that’s done. The biggest compliment engines usually get are about them being smooth and quiet which are hallmarks of electric motors.

I’m confident that in 1903, a 34-year old said this Wright aircraft nonsense would have no impact on transportation in his lifetime.

Feature, not a bug.

What rhetoric? Are you fucking kidding? She’s pointing out basic objective facts and people are threatening to kill her. Who the fuck ungreyed you?

The problem is made even worse by the fact that the establishment Dems are barely even pretending to protect Omar because she is upsetting their donors as well. 

I’mincredibly surprised his father surrendered him. 

You ever been to that part of Louisiana? There are a shitload of white churches he could’ve burned, but instead he drove around the Parish burning black ones that aren’t even adjacent to each other. You know who has a history of burning black churches? White men from Louisiana.

try him for rape in sweden, i dont care about that, but the danger is if america gets their hands on him and gets convicted for the manning leaks. it’s massively important to NOT let him be convicted for that because that will set a new precedent that will be extremely chilling for any publisher looking to publish the…

An example is needed.  I can’t think of one place this is a thing, nor how that is at all the same.

Quick “journalism” question; Why call these historically black churches when they are in fact currently black churches?  Same question about HBCUs when they are current, modern BCUs?

reminder: dundon made his fortune from extortionate payday loans so you're a goblin if you're not rooting for him to ideally lose everything he has

They are butt, but not because they didn’t accept the trash heap from the Lakers. They did trade for Cousins to try and to establish the best big man duo in the NBA. They did trade for Jrue Holiday who is criminally underrated. They did get Mirotic to be a shooter around Davis (yes, that is a flimsy and underwhelming…

I think that’s it - definitely scared of losing funding due to Republican threats, so they’re straining to appear “fair”.

“I’m not going to play here and I’m also going to torpedo my own value sucks to suck byeeeee" is exactly what fucking someone over constitutes. Just because there are degrees of assholedom doesn't mean this isn't shitty and terrible

he should look at the executives above him, who first refused to honor Davis’s trade request and then decided to have him float in and out of the lineup for unclear reasons.

I just don’t get it guys. Anthony Davis tried to force the Pelicans to him to LA for a bunch of scraps and the Pelicans said no. All of those players are somewhere between butt and potentially not butt. It also came out that all the leaks were actually from the Lakers because they’re idiots. I still don’t get why the…
