Musk really is a bimbo. A shit poster obsessed with online ownage and who’s every word/action and pet project is geared toward either liquidating stock, or inflating the stock price to keep the investment speculation scam going.

The other day, there was a car stopped, trying to turn left at one of the no left turn intersections. Behind it were TWO County police SUVs. They beeped and then went around. Wtf.

You can drop things off at Our Daily Bread on Madison St.
(edit: ODB is on Fallsway but I’m pretty sure the donation box is still on Madison)

It surely would improve the cities and the neighborhoods it would pass through. There was decade plus long planning process that involved master planning with the neighborhoods affected including residential and commercial development. It’s heartbreaking to look at these plans and see what could have been. There is also plenty of research out there on the positive ROI of transit on cities, and I believe the plans for the Red Line included plenty of data and justification on this matter (Hogan’s people didn’t bother to read the plan). I think the Red Line was also based on one of the lines from the mid-20th century plan to build a metro transit network in Baltimore akin to Washington DC.

And Hogan shut down the red line light rail because he’s racist and wanted to give highway contracts to his friends.

In Mississippi they were diverting welfare funds to pay Brett Farve and fund his pet projects.

There are a lot of options around campus. You’ll want to focus on Charles village, Hampden and Remington.

Reply to Money for string lights by LaunderMachine
Hi, I’m Chris. I’m the guy who’s done a lot of the lights, particularly in the canton/patterson park/brewers hill area. Most of my customers provide options for collecting payment. Venmo/Zelle/cash/check. Just keep a spreadsheet of payments and share it to something like Google drive like someone else suggested. Many people have a block Facebook group they communicate on or an email chain. I do a lot of estimates so I’m not sure if you met with me or a different company. I’m happy to give you an estimate if not. At 35-40 houses, unless we have to add our own poles to tie into, I’m generally in the $100-110/house range. Feel free to text me for anyone interested @ 410-241-4696.

They take dress clothes for men as a part of a job interview thing, but thats a much smaller program than their regular clothing service which is for everyone.

Also reminder that he didn’t even really come up with it. He just brought up a really old idea that any engineer with a 6 pack and a little free time has thought of. There’s an entire Wikipedia page for them.
