Florida hasn't been a swing state in years, and it's not like Cuban Americans are ever going to vote Democrat regardless.

Not to mention the inflationary effects of shareholders skimming a set percentage in profits off everything that gets transported over rail. If the government ran it at cost, a huge drag on the economy would be removed.

Agricultural land specifically. Growing stuff in the city is just not a great idea from a land use perspective.

It's another one of those journalists that decided to wait until his book was done. Bob Woodward did a ton of this as well, sitting on things that we should've been told in real time.

Yeah, wtf? So the European Commission can do coups on top of all the other shit they do that nobody wants?

Yeah, I doubt that's true, probably just more of a reflection of the racism within Russia.

"Free speech zones"

They really need to stop raising the prices until they can get this under control.

Bush was a fascist as well. Post 9/11 any dissent was crushed for years, which is how they got to push the Iraq war through.

Wtf are you talking about, western civilisation doesn't depend on cash bail, most western countries don't have this and they're not lawless dystopian hellholes. A judge can easily determine if someone is likely to abscond or reoffend in an initial hearing, and that's how it's done basically anywhere except the US.

And I'm saying cash bail needs to be abolished, and only the criteria I outlined should be considered. I know what cash bail is for, I just reject the concept altogether, as there's no way to make sure it's fair.

A poor person would never make bail (or would need to go into an exploitative loan arrangement), and there's no number you could set for someone with the amount of wealth like Elon Musk that would keep them from fleeing.

This whole Lincoln project constituency is just political insiders that live in DC, nobody else is changing their vote based on their endorsement. It's so weird that Democrats and the media keep chasing these assholes.
