Is the removal of peak hour travel lanes on Willy Street also a housing policy?

Well, we ended up losing in disenfranchisement. Too many people lost to the prison system.

After wrapping up Clair Obscur Expedition 33, a co-worker suggested picking up the new edition of Final Fantasy Tactics. I always passed on this growing up...wish I hadn't, another great game!

Wrapped up the rulebook and learning enough to attempt a play of Cross Bronx Expressway last night.

During which the Private player needed an influx of cash before the census...suburbanization was the best route. Oof that didnt feel good to do.

Hearing Packer fans complain about Rogers getting bailed out on garbage flags.

Oh how cathartic this is.

Madison traffic congestion can be pretty much attributed to those intersections where theres never a break in traffic feeding into more complex downstream intersections.

Obvious perhaps, but consistent.

It was me. But listen, I had to get of all that annoying paper board game money somehow.l since switching to poker chips.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Why do I get irritated whenever people use the word "product"? Am I just a grumpy old man now, or are we overusing this term that sounds...IDK, neutral or generic.

Still reading through the rules here, but here are some interesting systems incorporated into this game.

Did your policy result in too many lost to the criminal justice system? Everyone loses.

Oof, this is going to take some time to digest.
