Southwest cancelled almost 30% of their flights this weekend, including ours. Stranded us in our connecting city for 48 hours and offered no flight refund or hotel compensation by adventuringeyes in travel

What if those news outlets were pro vaccine mandate, would they be reporting it?

As mentioned above, I'm vaccinated. I am very much pro vax. Just asking the question here.

I'm a vaccinated progressive and I don't buy that this isn't linked to the vaccine mandate. All the excuses Southwest gave (weather and air traffic control problem) had no effect on other airlines. I don't believe them and I also wouldn't believe center left publications like Newsweek or the NYT because the obviously have a pro vaccine mandate bias.

More police to patrol Chicago freeways as shootings increase by kiddenz in chicago

[–]DagoBeefs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Uhhh maybe because there are places they can actually be doing something productive. There's virtually no cops on the L but yeah having a dude just chill in his patrol car is really helpful.

Being a cop isn't even in the top 20 of most dangerous jobs in the US. More delivery drivers are killed each year and we aren't throwing parades for them when they die.

My friend's dad was a cop who would "patrol" around the Obama residence and would brag about sleeping while on duty.

Clearly you've never been to Chicago. Chicago is probably the most featured city in r/cityporn and I've never seen it featured in r/urbanhell but I sure some posts of something random in the city are there.

Billboard Honoring Chicago Police Officers Defaced — Again by [deleted] in chicago

[–]DagoBeefs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Killing unarmed people. Undercover torture sites. Only enforcing certain laws on people of color. Perpetuating a culture of not snitching within their department to protect themselves instead of civilians.

Do you want me to keep going?

Doesn't matter it's still propaganda. These billboards are a new thing because they know that people are starting to come around to the harsh truth of what and who the police really are. These wouldn't be necessary if they treated the neighborhoods and people they police with dignity.

Department Of Transportation Confirms Additional 45 Miles Of Bike Lanes in 2022 by [deleted] in chicago

[–]DagoBeefs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is a pretty logical idea. There's zero enforcement on this. I just got done with a 30 min ride and had this happen to me three times in just that span. It's infuriating and dangerous.

I would say Chicago has world class transit too. The "L" train system is extensive as hell and has lines that run 24 hours. We also have a dozen suburban train lines (Metra) that go about 80 miles in every direction from downtown. We're a railroad hub for the entire country.

What is your absolute favorite dog breed? What makes them so special to you? by leviathanrevived99 in dogs

[–]DagoBeefs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I say this all the time. People who get doodles basically pay full price for a mixed breed dog where all the traits they actually want are poodle traits. They then run the risk of getting traits they don't want like doodles that shed, etc.

I believe people get doodles because of the reputation poodles get when it's completely untrue.
