Reply to comment by goosey65 in Richmond school district to rename Binford, Cary, and Ginter Park for $150k. by Charlesinrichmond
so rename them. I'm fine with the not honoring confederates. But can't we find one Cary out there who was a good guy? How about John Cary the mapmaker? Let's just rename Cary after him. Yes, I'm serious. And was Ginter really that bad? (serious question, I though he wasn't, but I'm a yankee, I don't know)
It's always "pennies a day". but how many textbooks would that money buy in a system that needs them?

i mean.. yeah. it did. we are the greatest and most powerful country in the world. things are pretty fucking awesome for us. eliminating the entire population of the south after the civil war would have devastated the country. we had huge farming and metal working industries.

honestly, you think insulting people using the color of their skin is a good thing. I'm appalled that someone can be that racist in this day and age
I bet you are anti semitic and anti asian as well? Or do you have a preferred list of racisms?
quite seriously, how can you be such an awful person given what we know now? How can you hate someone based on the color of their skin, and think that's appropriate? How can you use skin color as an insult? You do exactly what the racist confederates did, and delude yourself into thinking you are different? You really need to spend some time trying to be a better person
At this point you are saying you love the game, just like rooting for a different team. I'm quite literally appalled, congratulations

Reply to Living in RVA without a car by [deleted]
The bus is free until 2025 and they have bike racks. I use an electric scooter and get around just fine in about a two-mile radius, going to the store and whatnot. I use the bus for longer trips. The bus system could be better but I don't miss the hassle of car ownership.

The dating pickings are slimmer down here than DC, I imagine its worse in Charlottesville if you're not college aged.

Both are great! Think it just depends how big of a city you want. Cville is a cool tiny city, but you’ll find yourself driving to Richmond a lot for shows, niche things etc.

Sorry dumb joke. It’s what all the county dwellers ask when they hear about any development/improvement in the city

Well actually the post office was a service that cost a lot of money. (They actually had arguments because in rural areas the postal service only delivered to town and when people came into town they would buy something at the store next door but it would go to urban houses because it was far easier, this was a huge cost and a significant portion of the federal budget)
Anyway then people started sending a lot more mail back and forth. The post office then generates a profit, they decide they want to semi-break off from the government. Now less letters to and from people are falling and they are looking at downsizing in real ways. Since they made a profit they increased pay and pensions and such and at some point it's just another normal government position which is why the Republicans asked to prepay their pension because the post office finances look to be decreasing profitability. Which pushes them to look insolvent sooner but also makes the transition easier to when they go back as a full government agency.
But back to the topic, I mean think about all the land used for parking or driving that could be sold. I mean I heard there was a plan for 64 to be closed and I was just trying to quantify how much that would be worth. I mean nobody bats an eye when we increase parking in land that would otherwise sell for hundreds of thousands and then generate tax revenue.

The "how" is pretty easy to figure out when there's nothing on the news. It's been a bad couple of days. Be kind to one another.

mmm. speaking as a yankee, it was done poorly, but for a reason. Could have been done better. But death camps are NEVER the solution. Leave that shit to the Gestapo
