I would love to see a breakdown of how much it costs to increase police patrols in grocery stores versus how much it would cost to compensate stores to give SNAP recipients free food while benefits are suspended

I quite enjoyed a lot of the takedowns of Bill Gates' EA brain snap on climate. It is really deadassed in a number of ways.
But no-one mentioned the most important thing. He isn't *just* full of shit. He knows he is full of shit.

Illinois transit plan would include:
—$860 m from state motor fuel sales tax
—$200 m in interest from state road fund
—$400 m from 0.25% sales tax increase in Chicago metro area (needs RTA approval)
This would close Chicago region’s transit fiscal cliff + allow substantially expanded operations.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

I've been calculating the amount of each Seattle neighborhood elementary attendance area that overlaps with its walk zone. In how much of the city can kids walk to their assigned neighborhood school? Here's the answer!
