The RFP specifically said that the city has to offer robust public transportation. Apparently nobody in Dallas can read.

Preplanned argument strategies:
"Hey Dave, remember that Iraq War you thought was such a good idea? What happened with that?"
"Hey Dave, how much was your bankruptcy for?" ($600k)
"Hey Dave, wanna compare credit scores?"

"Last time I checked the only part of this family that has spent any time in the military was us, and we're all progressive types"
(This is also a trap in case they decide to bring up my two cousins we were in the army less than a year before getting kicked out)

Several of the new House dems are of the same type as AOC, and are tired of the centrist, reaching across the aisle, Democratic Party machine. If enough Dems peel off from the establishment centrist bullshit, then Pelosi won't be speaker, it will be one of the other House reps who are looking at the seat, and all of them are much further left than Pelosi.

Pelosi's already lost 10 of the 20 votes she can afford to lose and still be elected Speaker, if she keeps up with the decorum bullshit then she will likely lose the other 10.

Still further left than Pelosi, I'll take it over a term of mealy-mouthed decorum whining, though I really wish there were more people in the house willing to run for the Speaker position.

Also, well, Barbara Lee is considering running for the position too. She's notable for being the only member of Congress to vote against the AUMF in 2001, as well as one of the very few who voted against expanding the AUMF to include Iraq.

AOC won as a leftist in one of the most liberal districts in the country. The lesbian native American woman that won in Kansas (who AOC campaigned against with Bernie) and Beto are waaaay better options than someone who hasn't had to actually work to win over non-liberals.

Leaving Alabama and heading into Georgia via 85 from 65 (end destination northeast Atlanta suburbs) it's a marked difference and for the worst. That said I don't know if that's because of poor enforcement or just because the Greater Metro area is loving enormous and starts in Coweta county IIRC. You're barely in the state for half an hour at interstate speeds before people start driving like it's a mad max prequel.

I drive on I20 and the I75/85 merge every day, it's not a large exaggeration to call it the fury road.

I appreciate being able to do 10 over everywhere I go in Colorado because some rear end in a top hat within a stones' throw of me is going faster, probably swerving and on the phone.

The construction between the Springs and Denver is gonna be hilariously terrible the next few years though.

Someone called the atlanta perimeter a mad max prequel a few years back and it was so poetic and apt I stole it wholesale. It's nutty. I'd almost rather chance midtown.
