What is wrong with these people

What an insane story: there’s a homeless guy with tuberculosis in New Hampshire who is just going around potentially infecting others Courts have ordered him to stay isolated, but the state can’t seem to actually enforce this (yes, with violence if necessary)

This is a big deal. Lina and Lev are inspiring the next generation of antitrust lawyers and economic policymakers.

“I have two versions of outlook and neither of them are working” is actually a generational NASA quote now. Not quite One Small Step but every generation lives in a different world

There is a railway that is effectively a straight line from Toronto to Montreal. Shown in BLUE. Building high speed rail along it would make sense. Instead, the Liberals propose a boondoggle of a line, shown in RED, that goes through all these communities they need to win.

Most of Boston was built on land that didn’t exist in 1630

The LA fires last year prove that even if our cities were destroyed in some kind of catastrophe urban progressives still wouldn’t allow anyone to build anything.

Driving me slightly insane that everyone has to pretend that Andy Weir is a real novelist and not a guy whose books are like 70% math equations

More and more politicians are suggesting that Waymo and AVs more broadly should be legalized only after studies can show that they won't impact ride share jobs. This is a reasonable-sounding rule that would also ban buses, bike lanes, and car ownership in general.

In less than a decade, we've gone from self-checkout being the main way to buy stuff at CVS to almost every item requiring a staff attendant to open an anti-shoplifting cage just to retrieve it from the shelf.
