Some Maths
Average new car costs $50k does some $1000 in road damage each year... assuming 6.25% sales tax pre-pays for ~3 years of road usage.
Say a bicycle costs $1k, does a $1 in road damage a year, at 6.25% sales taxs pre-pays for 62 years of road usage.
I know "BUT GAS TAXES!" 1/3
Trump's budget proposes a massive cut to national rail infrastructure development:

—High-speed rail grants from $900 m to $0
—Fed/state grants from $3.8 b to $1.4 b
“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea
A devastating loss for the American people. Remember “this land is our land”? Irreplaceable research and knowledge will be gone forever.
Double-tap strikes are acts of terrorism. Democrats should investigate whether or not the allegation is true. If it's not, that's great. But if it is, they should find out who ordered it and who executed it so they may be prosecuted during the next administration.
We could end poverty, homelessness and food insecurity tomorrow if we wanted to.
It’s a political choice to spend tax dollars on wars, ICE and corporate greed instead of helping the majority of people.
Tax the billionaires.
Take care of everyone else.
This sucks. Next post says it will make 70% of your center inaccessible from the parking lot.
Just before I took this photo a dude in a truck heading northbound just fully rolled over the median to make u-turn to the on ramp, blocking southbound traffic. 🙃
I really want them to put a sign up on the traffic signal cross arm, but what can you do. I emailed the alderman months ago with that suggestion at least. I should follow up.
A photo looking across Milwaukee southbound toward a white advisory sign showing the right lane makes both sharp and less sharp turns.

New signage installed recently on Milwaukee north of Augusta! The right lane is for turns to Augusta and toward the highway on ramp!
Why does the flight search only give me the options for economy, premium economy, business, and first, but the flights are provided with way more detailed (and totally different) naming conventions? I want to be able to reserve seats, show me those prices.
An hourly forecast for Thursday showing 46° at 8 am and 70° at 6pm
It’s so cool and helpful to have a 25°+ temperature swing between morning and evening commutes.
If it happened today nobody would believe it
Apr 1–5: Daffodils nod
Boulevards and median beds brighten with daffodils and hyacinths.
So much for March going out like a lamb
this is why criticism of even the representatives we like is good and important and getting mad at people for doing that is shitty baby behavior.

she is in her early 20s and deserves the world. all money will go to her @/heyhellowhatsup on venmo. put a star emoji please.
The main reason you have no means to change anyone’s mind on this is because the Democrats (capital D) have shared no clear vision of what they’re fighting for other than “less bad than Trump”, which is clearly not effective! While folks like Zohran have seen success by sharing clear policy goals.
A student who inspired the city with runs through every neighborhood is being forced to leave the U.S. blockclubchi.co/4bWBNER
Rosie (now Tiger) is home with her new family!
Yep. That’s the one.
Goddammit, I accidentally started watching a show that is releasing episodes weekly. Aghhh. I hate being caught up!
I have been so spoiled by the QAA podcast since it’s 100% ad free. They put out weekly ad-free episodes with a SECOND weekly ep for subscribers at $5/month. Most of the other pods I want to listen to are so loaded with ads, it’s a real bummer.
Spotted a friend in here by surprise! The sports bans have been a series of continued hits, but I appreciate the alternative events that have popped up in their wake.
I wish the connections to big marsh were better 😕
Do you know if this would be effective to treat/prevent neovascularizarion in diabetic retinopathy as well?

We need high speed rail from Andersonville to Logan Square
This isn't true. I wish people would stop saying this. Specifically the banned additives.
The US actually bans slightly more additives than the EU, just different ones. The EU for example allows cyclamates the US doesn't
As a reminder: Flynn pleaded guilty in the first Trump term; was pardoned by Trump; he sued for politically motivated prosecution; and now Trump II admin settled and agreed to pay him an undisclosed sum of taxpayer $$$
