This administration is still doing all that awful shit and more. The rate of atrocities is increasing and broadening.

The number of deportations aren't the major problem here, it's the nature and methods they are using.

Hostile relations with foreign nations is status quo for the US. The current level of violence on their streets instigated by the feds coupled with the desecration of constitutional rights and congress refusing to their legally obligated duties is not.

I get the sentiment, but this is defintely stinkier, larger shit than the status quo of the US and downplaying it as its been this way for 50 years is somewhat dangerous messaging.

Yearly flooding is infrastructure neglect and poor design, not a flaw inherent to the subway.

People with mobility issues and even just people with shorter legs can struggle to walk around in a snow storm, especially when budgets vastly prioritize car lanes over sidewalks and pathways.

And if you do have to drive its fine so long as you leave earlier to account for slower speeds and some delays like plows or accidents.

The same party that blamed the texas blackout on the only sources of power that actually stayed operational.

That bowl was a little big for me, I'll just drain the milk back into the jug and put these soggy bits back in the box.

Unlike more lanes, more trains is far easier to implement, cheaper, and basically takes up no space. The extra trains can be used to swap out during maintaince and repairs. They can also be deployed during abnormal congestion such as concerts or sports events.

If our cities will let robotaxis on their streets, i see no problem with robo trains which are literally attached to rails to guide them and would be far easier to implement emergency safety features like auxiliary brakes.

If its at full capacity its time to consider expansion unless the city has strict rules in place to limit growth.

In the past they worked a 6 day work week. They'd only call it off due to weather if they had no infrastructure to handle the current weather.

We could institute not working and shutting things down anytime it snows, it also means your municipality will likely gut their snow clearing budget as they won't justify clearing the streets unless its going to be used for economic activity. They'll instead wait for the snow to stop and only run clearing operations then as it would take less passes with the plow compared to constantly clearing and salting/sanding.

Given buddy's outfit in the meme, I'd reckon they get snow pretty often. Sure if you get 5 cms of snow in Florida, thats a weather emergency. 5 cms of snow in Minnesota is just business as usual.

 

The group Greater Sudbury Safer Sidewalks says surveys it has conducted during the past two years of a pilot project exploring enhanced winter sidewalk maintenance clearly show the public wants the project to become permanent

 

Calling the federal Critical Minerals Strategy ‘Worthless,’ Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre said the government should be doing less, not more, to spur economic growth

 

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
