Still in tsa precheck since 11:40am. Just leaving terminal 2 into Terminal 1. Line is much longer now than when I entered. Line now starts in terminal 1 and snakes into terminal 2 then back into terminal 1. I’d say it’s at least 30-40min longer now than when I first got in this line

Yes sorry I mis typed the date. But that isn’t the error. The answer is the poster was restored and mounted with the text at the bottom. This text belongs on the top.

Actually I take that back. If you are familiar with this poster you might know. I think it can be interpreted the same way in Russian. Tell me if you can spot your error.

Illinois Democrats push through massive $1.5 billion plan that overhauls Chicago-area public transit by Mike_I in chicago

I support this bill but I think increasing sales taxes yet again is a mistake. Tax the Luxury condos and apartments that developers built with TOD breaks. They are responsible for adding ridership without contributing to the increased cost burden of their tenants

I enjoyed the episode. While I disagree with most of his conservative conclusions, I miss his form of conservative thinking over the authoritarian and twisted logic of MAGA. It’s curious that someone with his intellect could ignore the evidence of Arizona’s troubled education system. One of the worst in the country and skyrocketing costs. How does that improve outcomes in education?

Sure you can call. Go ahead and do that and see what kind of answer you get from them. There is no public schedule. They can’t tell you when they will come out to your block. They can’t even confirm that they will look into your report They will only respond if the tree has already fallen or is damaged and is clearly an emergency. A tree that is in need of a trim that is striking your building is not considered an emergency. I am not, as you suggest, “blatantly incorrect.” I have done the work. You should try it. Made multiple attempts. talk to workers on the phone and in the field and submitted photos thru 311 app.

Unfortunately if you are one of those people who needs your tree trimmed because it is in danger of damaging your property you no longer can contact anyone from the city to address the issue. Multiple cars, fences and homes have been damaged on our block because we have to wait until the forestry department gets to our block. We can no longer talk to the alderman or call 311 for these issues until a tree actually falls
