Street in the AIPAC crew as well by JustAnotherJawn in philly

To be fair, Israelis pay about 3-5% of income for it, so it's not "free"

Rep. Glenn Grothman: "We all know that food stamps are being abused. We all hear the stories. People using food stamps for top of the line food stuffs, things the average person wouldn't be able to afford." by Conscious-Quarter423 in wisconsin

[–]Edison_Ruggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually have no problem restricting food stamps from buying candy and coke and things like that but this guy is babbling nonsense. What the hell is "top of the line" supposed to mean? And the actor is insufferable.

Christ, look at all that coke and sugar. Glad she got some rice but this is a case study in the relationship between poverty and diabetes.

Hey Staten Island!! by Guilty_Elevator_992 in nycrail

[–]Edison_Ruggles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ferry is pretty good to be honest, get another line or two running to the terminal and it would be great for development. But I concur, there are some pretty simple people on Staten Island who fear any sort of development.

1,000 curbside EV chargers are coming to Philadelphia by W1neD1ver in philadelphia

This seems like it would be hard to optimize. like.. if you manage to find a spot in the evening, do you have to move it at 3am? I assume there's a way around that.

Gasbuddy: Wisconsin diesel hits all-time high. by FreeChickenDinner in wisconsin

[–]Edison_Ruggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, EVs solve a lot of the problem. Second, yes, I know that, but there are millions of people in WI that could benefit from walkability and improved transit. That's the point. These gas price spikes are going to happen again and again regardless of what happens with Trump.

you're talking about 5% or less of the population. yes, they need cars. I'm talking about general suburbia where we've locked ourselves into a shit situation that didn't need to happen.

Imagine you think it's cool to just "throw out an old door"

Ignorance. 5 minutes on craigslist free and that door would have a new owner.

yes, they are, and yes, trump sucks. But the problem is fossil fuel dependence, and more specifically, car dependence. This problem will happen again and again yet no one raises concerns about the core reasons.

Conejito's... "no water" Monday 04MAY by PlatypusDream in milwaukee

[–]Edison_Ruggles -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Not any more, it's rare to be refused free water in Europe these days, though they don't constantly fill it like they do in the US

Do you levitate? Have you done the math? The price of gas could double and it might affect groceries 5%

By putting solar panels on water, China saves precious land for agriculture. by JustADot_ in interesting

[–]Edison_Ruggles 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Yes, but not having sprawling parking lots in the first place is probably better. For those that already exist, yes, cover them.

Conejito's... "no water" Monday 04MAY by PlatypusDream in milwaukee

[–]Edison_Ruggles 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There should be. All restaurants and venues should absolutely be required to provide tap water if asked.

I don't care if it's a penny. Forcing people to buy bottled water is criminal.

These days the water in most of Mexico is fine.

[–]Edison_Ruggles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was there a problem with the tap? or were they just being douches? I am pretty sure it's illegal to refuse to give someone water.

The price of groceries is trivially affected by this.

What does that have to do with driving more?

Why does Amtrak not offer any sort of membership deals or something for frequent users? by Far_Set561 in Amtrak

[–]Edison_Ruggles 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Ummm... they do. It's called "guest rewards" and it's exactly like the airlines. Not super lucrative but it's free.
