And royalty has been the force behind millennia of greed, corruption, colonialism, invasions, pogroms, ethnic cleansings, slavery, torture, land theft, unfair taxation, murderous crushers of dissent, etc etc, all over the globe.

>All governments suck ass. Their sole function should be common defense, enforcing contracts, and protecting natural rights.

Maybe we can agree there, but in a human world, there's always going to be corruption, and the most corruptible are most drawn to power, regardless of their political affiliation. We're fucked!

Anyway, have a good weekend.

Dude, what's your point? Humans fucking suck everywhere, in every time in history. And you still have more rights in an American democracy than in a monarchy. Go ask Jamal Kashoggi how he feels after Mohamed bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi ordered his killing and dismemberment (on foreign soil, no less) and got away with it even though everyone knows he did it.

If you're trying to suggest that life would be better if we had Trump as King, (I see you don't mention any Republican political shenanigans in your examples) then you drank too much Kool aid, because he doesn't give a shit about anybody but himself.

Back to your original statement, if you've lived your entire life in the US, you've lived under both Democrats and Republicans. Can you say your life is better under one, compared to the other? And being that you have lived under that kind of situation, what are you still doing here?

Of course they have, but that doesn't mean a monarchy is better. Lol. Go read some history, then get back to me.

That's not a very well thought out statement.

You're a minority every time the other party that you don't support wins enough Congress seats and has a sitting president. That's how our system has worked for over 200 years, and while it's far from perfect, it's worked fairly well over time.

You having never lived under a true monarchy, means you can't actually compare what that means, but if you take a look at monarchies like Saudi Arabia or Brunei or historical European monarchies, if you disagree politically, they can disappear you or take all your assets without any lawful due process protections at all.

Whoa. Thanks! Eight years burned away arguing with you beautiful people! I've learned a lot from this subreddit.

Trump was pretty sad about being defeated too. But that's how Democracy works. Not everyone is going to be happy, but if 51% of the neighbors vote a certain way, that's how it's gotta stay, unless we plan on fighting each and every election until we're happy with the results.

If enough people had wanted the casino, then enough people would have voted for the referendum, but we didn't, and we didn't. 🤷‍♂️

>to prevent any state effort to accelerate the required completion of a $1.3 billion combined-sewer cleanup of the James River before 2035.

If the state and/or Fed chips in more dollars, then just get it done. If they don't, 2035 isn't realistic if it's solely funded by local dollars

It's hard for me to fathom the desperate mind of a person(s) who gets into an accident, flees, and then carjacks someone.

Maybe they were already driving a stolen vehicle or had contraband in the car or are wanted by LE already, but damn, what a stressful life.

IDK if you saw my second edit, but the chart you posted from 2021/22 shows ridership significantly down on the Washington-Richmond line (and over all lines ) compared to 2017/18. (Probably related to more 'work from home' solutions for riders, but not necessarily a good thing for mass transit in our region (less riders=less demand=less funding))

I'm having trouble buying those numbers without more context. The chart says 463 people used the Washington-Richmond line in 2021 (1.26 persons per day - which seems unbelievably, unrealistically low), and then out of the blue, 90,000+ people are using it in 2022? 🤔.

What are the numbers for prepandemic on that line?

Are they comparing apples to apples?

Edit:. The expansion to Main St station has had an effect, but not 20,000%:

Edit 2: if you look at ridership for 2017/18 for the same line, 90,000 in 2022 is a ~43% drop (PDF file):

Edit 3:. To delve deeper in these numbers, here's the ridership report for 2019/2020. For the line we're discussing, ridership was at ~50,000 in 2020, so 46,300 (not 463) might make sense for 2021. We're now in an upswing from those pandemic lows towards previous levels (2019 had 127,000 riders on the Washington-Richmond line, approx 40,000 people more than 2022), but we're not there yet, and nowhere close to exceeding ridership levels of years past.

Sorry for your friend. Cancer fucking sucks.

RIP. I still reflexively look for it every time I drive by their old location, lol.

And besides the thing with the TVs, he was also a vampire.

Sad. Kinda surprised he ran recently, if his health was that compromised.

So what happens to representation for his district now?

To add to that good idea, some phones also accept eSIMs, so no second SIM slot or second physical SIM needed.

That's Trapeziums's Richmond outpost (based in Petersburg.)

Every time I've asked about opening dates, it's been pushed back. It was supposed to be this Fall, but obviously that ain't happening, but I don't know what the delay is.

In the meantime, maybe make a visit to Petersburg.

I'm in agreement with you. I added links for more context for other readers, and so those without Facebook can see what's going on.

That makes sense.

You gotta make a mess to create!

That photo sequence kept me on the edge of my seat. What was the expandable awning thing in the living room for?
