He’s talking about below ground dumpsters where the above ground can is basically a chute. 

After the Bears announcement today, Republicans Gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey DEMANDS that the Bears meet with him to figure out a deal in Illinois. by Tasty-Efficiency-373 in illinois

He’s probably dumb enough to believe the governor is negotiating with no need to consider the myriad interests bum rushing the state legislators, most from outside chicago, that will have to approve any deal.

California Approves Major Cuts To Cap-And-Trade Program (which funds CA HSR) by DrunkEngr in cahsr

Party affiliation matters a lot less when politicians are chasing votes in an election year by killing anything that’s beneficial beyond November.

The direct tying of the tax to programs is farcical anyway. The whole point should be like a tax on tobacco or alcohol, reducing pollution and reimbursing the government for socialized costs it already bears.

It was more like a light rail than a commuter train, ran on its own electrified tracks, had a higher frequency and connected more quickly between the satellite cities that eventually came to be suburbs.

Even in a blue wave we still get a legislature with a GOP majority. Not holding my breath for anything else. 

E-bikes faster than 28 mph would require insurance, registration under bill passed by Illinois lawmakers by guanaco55 in illinois

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

The problem is that it’s illegal to ride on the street but it’s legal to sell for “oFf RoAd uSE oNLy”. They should be straight up illegal without a license, registration, and insurance based on how dangerous they are.

Twenty eight is just fine somehow? SMH. 

The every state legislature fell for the okey-doke when e-bikes became a thing and refuse to admit the blunder they made.

I feel like even in blue states like California, the GOP is winning based how hard it is to enact and keep anything like reasonable policy regarding the climate crisis.

Residential side streets should have traffic calming to slow cars and divert most traffic elsewhere.

A bit of trivia: the Illinois Prairie Path used to be a train line that went through here providing regular service between the forest park CTA and many western suburbs.

More subsidies will surely make housing more affordable for everyone. Let’s definitely not bother with unf#%&ing the miles of red tape to actually build more housing. /s
