@LinkofSunshine The only issue is that you then would need to live in Chicago

You can get a full one bedroom in the Marina Towers with a balcony outlooking the River Walk for less than basically any shitty studio in Downtown Manhattan lol

Name me a better balcony in the U.S. than the Marina Towers Condos in Chicago

@Brooklynp8triot He’s not wrong though. Mamdani’s a clown who is openly hostile to our boys in blue.

Police officers have a fundamental duty to remain strictly apolitical in their work, and they should face serious consequences if they don’t.
In a free society, the police are meant to serve and protect everyone equally, not to act as enforcers for any political side. Once officers start injecting their personal political beliefs into the job, whether it’s through uneven policing, public endorsements of candidates or causes, or letting ideology shape their split-second decisions, they undermine the very legitimacy of law enforcement. People need to trust that the badge stands for impartial justice, not partisan loyalty. When that trust erodes, communities become more divided and officers lose the moral authority they need to do their jobs effectively.

@ColbyBadhwar Is this including pensions, disability, and healthcare costs?

These percentages are not discussed enough.

President Trump wants to spend $1.5 trillion on defense next year, or about 5% of GDP, something he has asked all Nato allies to do. During the Reagan buildup the U.S. spent 6% on defense. Jimmy Carter’s smallest defense budget was 4.5% of GDP.

@USKnightTemplar @TansuYegen Sure but the idea of an Apple-esque razor isn’t terrible. I never got an amazing shave from Braun personally, build quality isn’t amazing in modern device context either.

@john_flyte @TansuYegen Pentylion colombian eduardos per second.
How much CCP is subsidizing the commie chinese propaganda you think?

This is what the reflecting pool will actually look like when done. Neat, tidy, free of algae and easier to repair. #TDS

@TansuYegen You retard, the packaging is copied straight from Apple. Not an ergonomic design at all. No wash/sanitize feature.
Useless piece of Chinese commie propaganda.
The German Braun shaver is unbeatable.

@Pvtpyle44 @AlexanderPayton The previous attempts to kill the algae also killed lots of birds

@AlexanderPayton You can literally kill algae, keep the pool clean, and safe for animals with chemicals. And you can make it that color with chemicals.

Capital flight has a long history of disciplining pro-worker policies. We saw this in France in 1936 (Leon Blum) and 1981 (Francois Mitterrand). This became much harder under Bretton Woods because of capital controls. It’s time to reimpose democratic control over capital.

Billionaire Ken Griffin is appalled that Mayor Zohran Mamdani used his 24,000-square-foot Manhattan penthouse last week as the backdrop for a tax-the-rich video, triggering a subtle threat of re-evaluating investment in the city. on.wsj.com/4cFA9YA

The Japanese railway privatization of 1987 stands as one of the most devastating defeats ever dealt to statist transportation mythology. The government split the bloated Japan National Railways into seven regional companies, sold them off, and watched private ownership transform a bankruptcy-bound disaster into the world's most efficient rail system.
JNR hemorrhaged money for decades before privatization. By 1987, the state railway carried debt equivalent to $200 billion in today's money while delivering mediocre service plagued by strikes and inefficiency. Politicians treated it as a jobs program rather than a transportation service. The predictable result: chronic losses, deteriorating infrastructure, and customer service that reflected government monopoly arrogance.
Private ownership changed everything overnight. The new JR companies slashed operating costs by 40% within five years while dramatically improving service quality. JR East alone now generates annual profits exceeding $3 billion. These companies invest billions in cutting-edge technology, maintain punctuality rates above 99%, and operate the world's most advanced high-speed rail networks. They achieved this without a single yen of operational subsidies.
The transformation reveals a core dynamic of transportation infrastructure: private companies must satisfy customers to survive, while government monopolies need only satisfy politicians. JR companies diversified into real estate, retail, and hospitality around their stations, creating integrated profit centers that cross-subsidize rail operations. Government railways never innovate this way because bureaucrats face no market pressure to generate returns.
Meanwhile, Amtrak burns through $2 billion in annual subsidies while delivering third-world service across most routes, and European state railways require massive taxpayer bailouts every few years to stay solvent.

@dmtrubman Long Island has no natural connection to the mainland United States. You celebrate the beauty of the infrastructure but seemingly lament its existence — thus my question stands, how else should the island be resupplied other than ferry?
English

@john_flyte The bridge unquestionably unleashed low-density auto-centric sprawl on the island, so I don't really understand your question.
