So are PowerBall and Mega Millions now rigged to make sure that the jackpot always hits $1B before a winner is drawn?

Those flying brain things TERRIFIED me as a teen.

Yeah, I’d love it if the government would do it, but I just don’t see how that would happen since people have voted this country so far to the right that AOC seems like a radical.

I’ve had the idea for a few years now that Delta or a conglomeration of airlines should invest in passenger rail from these small regional airports to the big hubs.

Phoenix has Sky Harbor in the city proper, and then Mesa Gateway only about 20 miles east. If they could just hook the light rail between the two, you could eliminate the need to fly in and out of the small airport.

In Michigan there are DTW, and then small airports in Lansing, Flint, and Grand Rapids. If Delta built rail along or above the freeways that connect those cities to Romulus (where DTW is), they could probably get rid of their service to those airports entirely.

vBulletin was a great platform for the old Straight Dope Message Boards.

I miss that place.

Thank, we’re good and I managed to get a generator this morning. 375k people without power in Michigan this morning due to the storm!

What happened? We had a tornado hit nearby last night so no power or home internet to watch this morning’s session.

Literally gave up and sold Scythe because I found the instructions to be convoluted and too difficult to explain to my group

Gotta keep momentum going here in Michigan while the GOP is down. We’ve been doing some GREAT things so far, and I hope we can push further left.

Our governor is pretty great, but she is the daughter of the former CEO of Blue Cross of Michigan, so we’ll never get universal healthcare here under her watch.
