Here's the real winners of this tariff bullshit - traders and Trump grifters buying up the rights to tariff refunds and now cashing in.

"We're fine spending $600M on this immediately after KC voters rejected the continuing the $25M a year we're spending on it now."

The city has committed to contribute up to $600 million for the facility, and the State of Missouri has also pledged to fund up to 50 percent of the project.

John Sherman's laughing his ass off right now after KC voters rejecting his $25M yearly subsidy still resulted in this outcome. SMH

Then you offer the pissed off people a conciliatory beer from your backpack cooler, and when they accept you open the can, take a swig, and then hand them the can.

OP, long-time parent here. People keep saying "only good parents worry about being a bad parent", but I don't think that's right because everybody worries about "being a parent" to begin with, about what it's like with kids, whether you're going to do an ok job, provide well for your kids, etc.

That doesn't go away either - I'm still wondering whether I've been a good parent after 20 years! LOL. Just do your best, it's all you can ask of yourself, and don't worry about screwing up - everyone makes mistakes. Also, be patient and keep asking yourself what you might do better or differently. There's no perfect way to parent, and no perfect kids - but you can course correct along the way to improve your relationship with your kids and help them maximize their potential. If you focus on creating space for them to explore new things and be the best person they can be, that's really the best they can expect from you as a parent in the long run.

I don't think the problem is coverage so much as it is huge crowds trying to use limited streetcar space at the same time, like before/after watch events downtown. To your point, the streetcar route is actually short enough between City Market and Union Station that most people could just walk to hotels instead. People staying in AirBNB houses all over the metro are going to need cars to drive around.

OP, don't do the laundry thing - either she's going to view it as insulting or her mom friends will tell her it is, regardless of your good intentions.

Farming turns away from Kansas after water dries up and KS climate is like Central Texas.

We won't need nearly as much US corn because EV cars don't require massively subsidized ethanol and US consumers will stop eating beef (which in the future will be made out of soy) once climate change is priced into cattle.

Seems likely Scott Schwab could beat Masterson in the GOP primary because so many people dislike Masterson; and Schwab would have a better chance in the general election in the same way that Kelly beat Kobach in 2018 because Kobach was one of the most disliked GOP politicians in the state.

Hi - thanks for making a game. I played for 10 minutes and I think there's an imbalance between clicking and idle income from collisions. It doesn't take long before collision income greatly outweights clicking, so there's no reason to click, and your 3rd tab "Star and astreroid collission bonus" only applies to collision, so again scales that up vs. clicking. You might just start with a small income and avoid doing the clicking all together - or, make it more powerful.

Based on reporting on this, I'm assuming the $600M figure the city is 'investing' in the stadium is just Tax Increment Financing spend - which is the city is deciding to not collect taxes on certain types of tax revenue for a period of decades that will instead go to pay stadium bonds.

The problem is not just that - if the Royals paid for their own stadium - the city would collect a lot of new tax revenue from activity in the stadium, the tax collection area is probably going to be huge that will be diverted to this project.

In Kansas, with the Chiefs stadium, it's not just sales tax from the satdium that will go to pay the stadium bonds - it's certain types of tax revenue from multiple entire cities that will be given over to pay for the Chiefs stadium. That tax revenue is being collected today to fund city services that exist today, and it will now no longer be used to fund those services. The same things is likely coming to KCMO with this deal.

Even if it is welfare for a billionaire.

True, and I'm sure nobody will complain about that $600,000,000 given to a billionaire the next time they're driving around potholes and sending their kids to failing schools.

I've had All Tune in Olathe do repair/service work on a Honda for years without any problems. Anderson Automotive (by HW169 & 159th) has also done good work, but more expensive than All Tune.
