I talk about fire/life safety, politics, Disney, and more. Left-leaning, proudly non-partisan, anti-NRA, anti-war, a non-driver, and a Masshole.

Are there actual code sections at issue here or are the fire marshals making up requirements that do not exist? If the latter, they should be taken to court because "shirt-pocket" rules are a violation of due process.

This is a great reason why a psychological assessment and anger management courses should be required before someone can get a gun license. (Indiana has the opposite: permitless carry.)

There's a very good reason why I like to call Texas (and the rest of the Bible Belt) Howdy Arabia.

I assume the windows alone would be a lot more expensive in the US because of the need/desire for them to be bulletproof.

Perhaps The Guardian is scared of being sued in a frivolous defamation lawsuit by Trump?

Apparently there's something crammed in there that has nothing to do with reopening or appropriations. (a great reason why Congress needs something many states have: a single-subject rule.)

Are you asking about Trump? He and the rest of the GOP are addicted to fossil fuels (a great reason why politicians should have to dress like racing drivers.)

Why didn't you ask Rubio why criticism of Israel seemingly isn't considered free speech anymore? (oh wait, wrong Rubio)

M4L blocked me on X when I asked about the school-to-prison pipeline. Clearly they do not care about liberty. (Especially now when any law enforcement interaction risks being turned over to ICE even with legal status. Maybe putting cops in schools, colleges and universities isn't such a good idea?)

It's not just the UK... the US government has shown a ton of similar hypocrisy. (e.g. Section 702)

In many countries it's still government-owned but separate from regulatory roles or the annual appropriations process. (so they don't have a billionaire owner or stockholders)
Think something like USPS or Amtrak.

This is yet another symptom of extreme localism. Regionalizing public services (not just transit) would improve a lot of things.

Doesn't the MTA have several security guard contracts? Couldn't they use these guards to check fares?

Trump can't pardon someone who was convicted in another country. (Of course, like many US politicians, he may totally ignore the sovereignty of other countries.)

Does this disenfranchisement also prohibit running for office? (The constitutional amendment should arguably have a rule that anyone who's ineligible to vote is also ineligible to run for office - thus closing the "Trump loophole" for any state office.)

I wouldn't be surprised if this disenfranchisement is why TN made public camping a felony.
