California: "First time?"

"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.

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

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

Full statement from Carter Center:

"My God. The Dukes are going to corner the entire frozen orange juice market!"

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.

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

When they confirmed Clarence Thomas in 1991.

In California, local government does not get any revenue from speeding tickets. It is one reason there is so little enforcement of traffic laws.

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.

I live in one of the blue-ist cities in California and my city council refuses to build any housing near transit or build any bike or dedicated bus lanes. There was also an attempt to use school funds to pay for a new downtown parking garage. At this point, a Trump administration is the least of my climate worries....

Idiocracy

This new policy will definitely get overturned by the Supreme Court. As such, it is a stupid election-year gimmick.

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

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.

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

Republicans have a 2024 platform. You can Google it.

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.
