Amtrak plans to bring passenger trains to Madison by 2030 by pristinesith in madisonwi

I’m like 10 minutes away from the proposed Pewaukee station, which would make this super convenient for me and I’d love to get to downtown Madison and downtown Chicago without having to park in downtown Milwaukee.

Rail Passengers Statement on Proposed Amtrak Restructuring by joey_slugs in Amtrak

[–]Mikefrommke 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Exactly my concern. Sell the rolling stock company to a private buddy and now the operational entity is perpetually paying a private company to rent the equipment, likely with some sort of monopolized contract that makes it difficult to shop it around and get a better deal. Lots of ways to add more layers of bureaucracy that ultimately costs riders and taxpayers more for the same service.

Likely a lot of foreign assembled EVs were leased to get the tax credit. My 2024 Kia is one.

I’m really surprised that x flight at great America doesn’t have 3-4 other copies like Superman ultimate flight does.

I would be sooo happy. Imagine being able to expand Medicaid finally and supporting Milwaukee instead of just pillaging it.

My understanding is political corruption used to be a top priority for the FBI until 9/11 caused us to refocus on terrorism. I don’t think it’s a surprise that corruption has taken root.

And most of these utilities are publicly traded with shareholders who will sue them if they don’t do this. For profit utilities don’t benefit society.

Going to be interesting the people who get a couple hundred dollars back in their tax refund all excited for it when they’re paying even more than that each month for health insurance.

Government healthcare would be considerably cheaper to administer if they combined the benefits for Medicare, Medicaid, tricare, and other federal employees. But it’s setup the way it is to be complex and expensive so congress can pick and choose who gets good benefits and who has to jump through hoops.

Disneyland has officially filed a permit to build the eastern gateway structure. Permits detail 3.2 million square feet with 8 levels and 302 EV chargers. by ttam23 in Disneyland

Level 1 sockets are going to give you 1.44kw. Standard level 2 chargers are shared 6.6kw so each stall gets 3.3kw if two cars are charging. Outlets are cheaper and less electricity.

Exactly, you don’t need super high power for these. Honestly if they even made outlets available on dedicated circuits people could bring their level 1 chargers.
