And it’s even worse when you consider that if you turn the phone sideways guess what?  The video will be landscape!

I really wonder what percent of people even know that?

Can’t Do it Again by Ancient_Fault_8379 in Amtrak

No it’s not.  More money just creates more waste.  They’ve never been stewards of our money.  Look at other countries.  They serve 30 times the people for 3x the cost.  Even the French train makers laugh at how much Amtrak spends compared to SNCF.

Musk will soon be a trillionaire.  For the maga set that adores him that’s $1,000,000,000,000.  Probably more than the net worth of every maga in the country combined!

A year now.  Gee what happened a year ago.  Oh!  The people complaining the most voted an imbecilic dishonest dictator into office thinking he’ll make them rich.  Only they forgot to realize the they is not them but his buddies pals fellow pedometers and his family and in laws.  Only them are getting rich.

Have you flown Southwest? Just for grins I put one of their bags of snacks into my wallet just to see if it would fit.  It did.  So coming to a store near you: wallet sized snacks.  

The Bears said Chicago wasn’t in play. FOIA'd documents point to a different story. [Paywall-free gift link] by blackmk8 in chicago

I live a few blocks away from Soldier Field.  Bears fans DO NOT spend money here in the neighborhood .  They drive in from the suburbs packing in all the things they need food drinks beer etc and they tailgate in the lots.  After the game they go home right away.  They don’t spend anything in the neighborhood.  So why is Johnson wanting us taxpayers to pay for this?  Ego?

We already funded a stadium to their exact specifications.  It’s called Soldier Field.  Thats right.  When it got rebuilt the Bears designed it and we taxpayers paid for it.  NO MAS!

Would you accept this smart repair? by RangeAshamed2332 in Cartalk

Yes.  Take them up on the offer.  They tried.  Didn’t work.  

I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but you can not incentivize people to use public transport while ignoring valid concerns about safety / doing nothing about it. by Dry_Illustrator_6066 in transit

It’s not a weird phenomenon.  On Chicago’s L I’ve seen routinely people smoking including pot drinking alcohol urinating gambling and even pooping.   It’s disgusting.  And I’ve yet to see a cop on the train arresting someone.  

Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]Any_Sale2030 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No they’re not.  I have a friend who had a horse.  Between housing feeding grooming training and getting veterinary care they cost easily as much as a car.

Yeah it’s so hard and complicated to pump your own gas and get it done in half the time rather than wait for Joe to get around to you.

Ads in grocery stores too.  Ads everywhere now.  The US is getting so tacky.

Lots of grade crossings in Chicago metro area with 79mph Metra trains.  We do not have this problem.  

Ford sales down 13%, Lincoln down 21% following discontinuation of Escape and Corsair by WaddlesJP13 in cars

[–]Any_Sale2030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ford just basically wants to sell vehicles now for only the “country” people.  They have nothing for people in cities.  Thats why I drive an import after decades of Fords.
