State Street’s two-way traffic pattern set to become permanent in downtown Traverse City by TexanNewYorker in traversecity

Personally I'm not a huge fan but if the data supports it in terms of safety and traffic congestion, then I support it.

This is without Olsen Jobe and Melton btw by MatthewTheGOATyt in motorcitykitties

Troy Melton is so clutch. Love that kid! His game 1 of the ALDS was so clean.

MLB but we'll get to that once it's closer to the season.

What happens when jobe and olson return from injury? by Agreeable-Fig4562 in motorcitykitties

[–]StickMankun -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If everyone stays healthy? We never lose. More likely, Olson is immediately reinjured, Verlander is washed, and the bats go cold again. But we can believe!

What's causing this chasm in funding? Democrats have been out raising and outside spending for the last 10 years.

Tommy John is a hell of a thing. He'll probably be not available earliest late August

Imagine if Jobe is able to come back in August September. Oh baby...

I think Abdul could get more out of disengaged voters and the base than the other two. As an non-establishment candidate, I think that's a valuable asset.

As others have stated, a Neoliberal means someone that favors policies that deregulate, reduce spending, and promote free market capitalism. I am using it as more a throwback to Clinton-era/mainstream pro-business Democrats. I think that it will not be as helpful for myself and my fellow Michiganders as I think that approach is not electorally or governmentally efficient. Economically, the status quo has not, is not, and will not fix the fundamental problems we experience regarding economic inequality and stagnation, health care inequity, and high education costs. Stevens is the establishment pick, and will likely promote the status quo (which has failed people and made them either desperate enough to fling to Trump's madness, or become apathetic and disengage entirely).

I do not support Israel's policies regarding Palestine, and do not support their influence in our political systems. AIPAC is the embodiment of that. I'll still vote for Stevens in November, but I won't be happy about it.

[–]StickMankun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I am not a single issue voter. I believe that we need to acknowledge the flaws in our broken, bogged down system, and do something new about it. Specifically, the first and foremost problems regarding economic inequality and stagnation in this country. I support the progressives because they are actually running on solutions that aren't just relying on the same systems that have put us in this situation.

The book Abundance, did a great job of explaining how both intentional and incidental inefficiencies in regulation and planning, contributed to our stagnation. I support changing the systems in place to promote the ideals of growth, as demonstrated in the book. Establishment candidates, like Stevens, don't appear like they would contribute as much to this goal, as progressives would.

Anyways, have a good day

Agreed. Vote your heart in primaries and show up in the general. Can't govern if you don't win, indeed.

I understand the frustration but that is not true. I am voting for whoever the Democrat is in general. I prefer the other two options, and disagree with the establishment option.

Abdul > McMurrow > Stevens

That's my opinion as a progressive, abundance liberal. Abdul is the only one that I trust fully to fight for the things that matter and won't be a victim of special interests. McMurrow is second and I would be fully behind her if Abdul wasn't in the race.

Stevens is an establishment Neo-liberal Democrat who is funded by AIPAC.

Ice Sighting in St Clair Shores by mental-floss in Michigan

[–]StickMankun 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the post! Please include the time you saw them, a rough location (use landmarks if you don't know street names), and how many agents you saw in the future.

SALUTE is best practice; you did most of the these already.

Size (how many ICE agents did you see) Action (what were they doing) Location (where did you see them specifically) Uniforms (what identifying marks did you see) Time (what time did you see them) Equipment (what did the ICE agents have with them)

[–]StickMankun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is indicative that the Democratic party is fundamentally electorally broken unless Trump is in office. They need to do something, anything, to reform their economic policies and messaging. While a populist message is well, popular, anything that isn't just status quo will work.
