It's very good for some of us currently, but very horrible for others.

Or you can give your kids books to read.

Depends on the city. In Philadelphia, the opposite thing happened: proposed bike lanes along half of Washington Ave. were blocked by a city council member on the grounds that "only white people ride bikes" and "bike lanes cause gentrification." It was touted as an "equity win."

This councilmember is now the President of the Philadelphia City Council.

Wow. "Makes teens feel unsafe"? Care to explain that?

The rest of your comment is so absurd I'm not going to bother asking.

The same kind of people who condemned Woodward and Bernstein for investigating and reporting on Watergate.

Seized property should be held in a neutral escrow account until the case is adjudicated, and then automatically returned to the victim if they are not convicted of a crime within a reasonable time.

Someone once said to me that he had no interest in going to Europe because "the US has every kind of landscape that Europe does," as if there is no other reason to travel but to see natural scenery.

Trumpists: "Good! We don't want none of them furriners in our country, and we sure as hail don't want to visit theirs."

The biggest issue where I live (Philadelphia) is the plague of motorcycles and cars with exhaust systems deliberately altered to maximize the noise generated. The police won't do a damn thing about it. Most people seem to accept and even defend this situation with one of the following retorts: 1. With all the murders and other crimes, the police should not be wasting time on this. 2. That's just how cities are; if you don't like it, move to the suburbs. 3. Kids are just having fun, Karen!

By the way, I've lived in the suburbs, and the situation with leaf blowers is just as maddening.

Read it again...she did not break any law. At most, she should have been given a chance to turn back and try again once she worked out the paperwork. But for Trumpists like you, the cruelty is icing on the cake.

In Trump's America, it is cruelty for its own sake. I'm sure he's especially gleeful about this happening to a Canadian.

I would not apply unless I was desperate for a job, or if enough time had passed or leadership had changed that I felt sure it was no longer the same company. The way companies treat applicants should be seen as a reflection of how they would treat employees.

Embarrassing.

One helicopter is loud enough to be heard miles away. Imagine the sky full of thousands of these vehicles! This is a nightmare that needs to be nipped in the bud.
