$orry I can't hear you.

Those boots sure are delicious.

Maybe you should direct your anger at the managers and CEOs hiring illegal labor instead of the people filling the roles. Why are the laborers whisked away by masked men while the person who hired them walks away and hires a dozen more?

There you go with trans people again. Are you really ok with the country spending millions on rounding up people picking fruit and doing kitchen prep work? That's the most important issue the country is facing?

The "liberal" media sure does a great job of shielding dear leader from any consequences. None of them ever say flat out "Fuji raises camera prices due to Trump tariffs".

I guess that means Obama is eligible in 2028.

You really need to drive here.

Like most of the US, the population density simply isn't enough for mass transit to be practical.

Buses run every 15-30 minutes on the main grid streets, nominally a mile apart. Most aren't particularly full, and there aren't enough transit police to enforce basic civility, such as the blaring music from multiple speakerphones.

A planned light rail has been replaced with an expansion of the bus line on Maryland parkway.

There are more bike lanes with spacing than there used to be, but there is *no* way I am going back on to the roads with the drivers around here.

Underground tunnels with regular small automated cars would seem to be a possibility, but only if monitored well enough. I have no idea whether it would be financially viable, though.

I own a 2021 Alfa Romeo and it appears to be offline. The previous owner didn't spring for the navigation package and when I disconnected the battery to work on the brakes the time did not automatically set itself.

Butthurt MAGA marking this troll. Imagine if Biden awarded military contracts to a corp headed by George Soros.

Since when does private party A doing something "unlawful" compel private party B to take some action?

Ever since the first time someone pointed a loaded gun as B's face and said "do what I say or else I'll kill you" and B did as ordered, instead of accepting their death.

I think it was sometime around 1234567 BC.

No, I was clearly told "Sleepy Joe" was holding back the economy and it would come roaring back to life under Trump.

oh, no.

It doesn't even *compare* to the uselessness of the Las Vegas monorail and its multiple bankruptcy.

It goes to something like five resorts and the convention center.

Due to the juice that the taxi companies used to have, it was blocked from going anywhere useful, such as the airport.

And the fair for those short hops is something like $9, although only a dollar for locals.

I haven't heard of any extensions of the boring loop in at least a couple of years, though. It will *supposedly* reach the airport and downtown, but I'll believe it when I see it.

And I'm not sure that there's any point in the current form in which it needs drivers in passenger cars. But next to the monorail, it's downright brilliant! [insert eyeball here]

Meanwhile in the real world. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/0...

Nonfarm payroll growth was slower than expected in July and the unemployment rate ticked higher, raising potential trouble signs for the U.S. labor market as President Donald Trump ramps up tariffs.

Job growth totaled a seasonally adjusted 73,000 for the month, above the June total of 14,000 but below even the meager Dow Jones estimate for a gain of 100,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. June and May totals were revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258,000 from previously announced levels.

At the same time, the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, in line with the forecast.

The June total came down from the previously stated 147,000, while the May count fell to just 19,000, revised down by 125,000.
