"Party of fiscal responsibility" is projection, just like everything else.

"It's called a reference, sweaty -- look it up."

(Maybe, anyway.)

That's what it's supposed to be, but clearly isn't.

That would mainly be because they can't easily get to the library, probably because your city is too low-density and car-dependant.

Once again, all problems are zoning problems in disguise.

Tech bosses think nuclear fusion is the solution

No they don't; this is literally the first thing I've ever read claiming that. Tech bosses are perfect happy to power AI with nuclear fission and don't give the slightest fuck about the waste.

(As well they shouldn't, TBH, since it really ought to get reprocessed anyway. But that doesn't excuse them for wanting to waste the power on bullshit.)

It's a developing country. You will catch up.

It isn't and we won't. The US is a post-developed country backsliding.

There's a man with a gun over there telling me I got to beware.

Decades of the Republican Party patiently and systematically installing fascist Federalist Society stooges at all levels of the judiciary is what happened. Their goal is autocracy -- and always has been -- and they are now finally on the cusp of achieving it.

And the best part is that it’ll all be “legal” from a purely textualist reading of the actions, because the folks interpreting the law are all Trump cronies.

The even "bester" part is that Democrats won't even be able to vociferously complain about the Republicans real theft of the election because the Republicans have so thoroughly poisoned the well on that issue with their false claims of it. So the Democrats will fail to do what is necessary to stop the fascist takeover and America will be screwed forever.

5 downvotes in 38 minutes, on an innocuous comment in a 9-day-old thread. 🤔

LOL, what did you do to piss off some chud so badly that he's mass-downvoting you with no less than five sockpuppets?

This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.

I emailed their head office, saying that I was planning to shop there, but not until they added a bike rack.

Went to check last night, and boom! Bike rack!

It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.

In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.

“They are not safe. They are anything but for safety,” said a woman who added vehicles in the two-block section sometimes drive in the middle of Springbrook to avoid the bollards.

Oh, so drivers behind of the wheel of an automobile are the danger. Why remove the bike lanes rather than the car lanes?

I heard that Etobicoke's NIMBYs are insane, but this is a new level of stupidity from Richmond Hill.
