    $1T or $1,000B or $1,000,000M or $1,000,000,000 theoretically going to fix some infrastructure. Of that $1000B there's $66B (6.6%) going to rail. Of that $66B going to rail $5B (0.5%) going for rail improvement and safety grants to Amtrak. Hard to figure out how much goes to freight rail of that $5B. I don't think any of the tax dollars are going to whatever rail lines the jorts have in Ohio shipping chemicals around. 

    Trying to get the federal government to tax and spend to actually solve any type of real problem is suicide. 

    Hopefully that's bipartisan enough to not be a cloak room rant it's just antigovernment in general. 

    Absolutely hilarious that the anti-government nut is complaining about the government letting America's infrastructure crumble over the last 30 years.

    Tell us, in your perfect world of a skeleton government and slashed taxes, who repairs and fixes the infrastructure?

    It’s hostile because he sounds like….a surlyhorns bitch poster.

    First, he’s quoted in the paper and ostensibly interviewed on camera or audio because he mispronounces Bowie, as another poster said. That’s weak shit. Don’t EVER whine to the media unless the police aren’t doing anything. He comes across as an attention-seeking whiner.

    Second, talking about how it’s ‘horrifying’ and a ‘violation of privacy’ makes you sound like a pencil-dicked bitch. Basically, your average Austinite today.  

    Third, it sounds like he very much has a clue as to who was there, and surely has cameras.  But if he doesn’t, I’m sure insurance can cover it.  If he can’t locate the perps or his homeowner’s deductible is too high (gasp!), maybe he’ll have to go out of pocket to mitigate high school invader avocado stains.

    what's your address?

    it's pretty much an all or nothing moment whenever one of those shows up. you scrounge around and stab people and runners in the neck so you can save every scrap you find and then throw everything you've got at a bloater.

    afterwards, time to scrounge around for all the craft shit again.

    I started a play through of TLOU2 a few weeks back. Changed the settings to infinite ammo and infinite crafting. Totally different game. Just strolling into infested rooms without a worry in the world.

    Of course someone like Tommy fucking Tuberville is tone deaf enough to fail to understand the optics of "we want to put more controls around these (often black and often from lower income household) athletes and limit their rights and earning potential artificially compared to the rest of society. mostly, we want to do this because we just want things to go back to the way they used to be (he damned near says this verbatim). we're doing all of this also because these boys and girls are just too stupid to understand how hard it is to graduate college in the first place, so we have to do their thinking for them."

    They understand the optics. Feature, not a bug.

    Rep. George Santos was charged with theft in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country in 2017 after a series of bad checks were written in his name to dog breeders, according to the court and a lawyer friend who helped him address the charge.

    Just days after $15,125 in checks were made out for “puppies,” according to the memo lines, Santos held an adoption event at a Staten Island pet store with his animal rescue charity Friends of Pets United, according to the store’s Instagram account and a person who attended the event.

    The New York Times reported this week that Santos had an unusual request for the pet store owner Daniel Avissato after an adoption event at Pet Oasis. He asked Avissato to make a check with the proceeds out to his name instead of the name of the charity. Avissato said he refused, but later noticed — when he looked at his bank records — that the check had been changed to the way Santos wanted it, according to the Times.
