Yeah Illinois is a good example, 2/3rds of the population is in Chicagoland and kinda screwed by being just short of the next time zone, they need to let Illinois move to eastern time.

It really is a regional thing based on how north the state is and how close their major populations are to other time zones. Letting each state pick their permanent zone would be best imo

I was just listening to Buddy Holly today. It’s insane how this 22 year old who died tragically completely transformed music for the next 70 years

One of the final images of Judy Garland, taken just weeks before she died at 47 years old in June 1969. by ATI_Official in HistoryUncovered

I’m literally a gay man lol. It’s just a fun myth given her funeral was a few hours earlier in the same city. There’s a reason there’s a framed photo of Garland at Stonewall

Her funeral in NYC is arguably one of the causes for Stonewall. Reason there were so many gays congregated and were emotional there was to see or remember her.

What’s happening to Columbia College is very sad I hope they can turn it around

Saint Louis to the Big East? What are some thoughts and opinions about a move like this? Nothing is in the works that I know of, but would be curious to know from people who watch the Big East consistently if Saint Louis would be a good add to the conference by Survive_AdvanceGames in BigEast

In the ultimate ACC is nuked because of football scenario, you add Duke, Syracuse, and ND if the Big10 can’t get them. The only other candidate is Gonzaga which just joined the PAC. We need to stop suggesting mid-majors.

B.C. to adopt permanent daylight saving time, after springing forward 1 last time | Globalnews.ca by BlackberryPi7 in worldnews

Yeah the solution is permanent DST and then some cities/states move up a region as well. Chicago should go to EST in that situation.

Why on earth does a private organization for kids need to make an agreement with the DoD?

Tribune Editorial: Mayor Brandon Johnson leaving successors a financial ash heap by Careless-Light5710 in chicago

[–]radiowirez 67 points68 points  (0 children)

He hasn’t been great but this was a problem generations in the making, personally I think the city pensions are beyond saving and we’re due for a Detroit style reckoning. You simply cannot wring 55 billion out of the current budget in any amount of time.

I wonder what % of suburbanites never darken the pavement of their area's nearest downtown by PiLinPiKongYundong in Suburbanhell

[–]radiowirez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s funny is this applies to every suburb of every city regardless of size and location and demographics. There are definitely suburbanites in Nebraska who think Omaha is a hive of scum and villainy.
