So the fact that America has been slipping in rankings for thinks like education, health, quality of life, and longevity for more than a decade now, while the countries in Europe with a more socialist bent, with economic policies that guarantee access to basic human necessities have been skyrocketing in every one of those measures means nothing to you?

No, you're right. Another economic system that guarantees your right to access things like mental health and healthcare services, with an emphasis on education spending, would absolutely make things worse.

Do you listen to yourself talk?

Why would your inability to think critically about the economic system that drives every aspect of life in this country make me mad? Capitalism is inherently set up to create haves and have-nots. It's the threat of falling into the latter category that keeps the wheels turning.

Edit: for an easy to understand analogy

Typical. "Instead of doing something to actually address the problem and help people, push them somewhere else so I don't have to look at them."

All of which stem directly from capitalism. Pricing people out of necessary services, keeping the population dumb and exploitable, and requiring people to work three jobs just to make ends meet are a direct result of a capitalist economic system.

My experience is the opposite. I have 4g on my phone and haven't had issues in town except this area, where every carrier I've had has issues, my ex upgraded to a 5g phone and loses service constantly.

I don't have problems with 4g on Mint (TMobile 'deprioritized), except around Mercy, where I've had problems with every single carrier I've been on, from Verizon to US Cellular.

Post your sources. Only politicians and ad execs say "studies show."

Oof. I feel your pain. :(

Man, fuck the haters.

Your track record speaks for itself. You fucked up, took responsibility for it when called out, took your lumps, and made it right. I hope this doesn't discourage you from continuing to do what you do for the community.

Pesto is easy to make if you have a food processor. Basil, nuts, parm, garlic, chop the hell out of them, slowly add oil while the processor is running. Add seasonings to taste.

You're not wrong.

Not shrimp, but Tacos el Gordo has my absolute favorite fish tacos in town.

Yea I haven't heard anything about Friday night, sorry.

Lindberg's has a hell of a show Saturday night. Molly Healey, Brandon Moore, and their daughter Annabelle are reuniting on stage. Molly plays with the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and has an impressive solo resume as well (more impressive than her OMD work imo), Brandon has literally a billion projects and people he plays with, Shotgun Brothers and Jalopy being probably the two most well known around here, and Annabelle is already teaching music.

Reservations wouldn't be required, though a heads up to the bar wouldn't be unappreciated, I would guess.

Imagine equating Patriot Front with antifa.

Hey look! A thoughtful, comprehensive response!

Again, I'm not trying to argue for this particular project. But when the same reasons get trotted out for the opposition to every single development project, often immediately after mourning the lack of mixed-use development, it gets old.

Not saying you did that here, it's just the majority of the arguments I see.

Again, I'm not arguing in favor of this project. It just doesn't matter where or what the project is. Just look at the Grant Avenue proposal backlash.

I'm not even particularly in favor of this project, but it feels like literally every proposal put forth is met with heaps of criticisms from this sub, from the Grant Ave parkway stuff to the unused space in Galloway to the National and Sunshine lots that aren't suitable in the slightest for housing anymore.

With the economic system we live in (which I'm not in favor of either, in the least) if a city isn't growing, it's dying. At the very least, I know I don't want to live in a dying city. But if all development stops, like it seems some here would prefer, that's where we'll be headed.

Edit: also, what negatives are you talking about? Increased congestion is about the only one I can think of, and even then Sunshine and Campbell is only really bad around 8am and 5 pm. The majority of the rest of the day it's fine.

I couldn't care less about this project, but where is development acceptable to you all? Only on the fringes of town, pushing urban sprawl even further? I don't remember the last proposal that was posted here favorably, even mixed-use projects this demographic claims to adore.

I usually bring my plastic ice scraper, it works better than the knife and doesn't scratch the signs, but I forgot it in my car this time.

Eh, I thought about that. Last time I posted as well. But I removed their website, and I think it's important they know there are people who will resist them, even if this time it was just removing some stickers.

Lol fair enough.

They talked about both crashes in the article...
