Yes, the Olympics have a green pool, but at least there are no open sewage fires raging.....
Remember "Clock Boy?" The kid from Qatar who "built" a clock and got suspended from school for it? Yeah, turns out it's just about getting more money. (Also, as many have noted, he didn't "build" a clock. He disassembled an existing one and put it in a box.
The government encourages you to keep smoking. After all, they've already budgeted the tax income they expect to receive from it.
The First Order are charging up StarKiller Base. It's the only explanation. I only hope Poe Dameron gets their in time.
At least it's not as bad as "Rationalia". It's just "soak the rich and increase taxes" with some words from academia and many, many appeals to authority thrown in. Proof that being "Harvard educated" does not imply that one is smart.
No one likes a drug cheat better than the US Media. Especially if said drug cheat is from another country, and they can use the story to take pot shots at the American people.
David French on fixing conservatism: In summary, stop waiting for politicians to do it and get out there in your communities and do some damn good.
It's hard to build an entire argument on "what-ifs" and "maybes" but that doesn't stop America-critics on the left from trying.
"Bi-Partisan" does not always mean better. The assembly line US education model has failed. The so-called bi-partisan solution is more of it running on more money. *sigh*
The so-called "party of science" is remarkably anti-science on most issues. - "Science" meaning whatever is en vogue and makes them feel all fuzzy inside at the time. They would be the ideal citizens of Rationalia because they are so easy to lie to.
Ever heard of BYD? Because, they're doing what Elon Musk claims he wants to do with Tesla but are doing it bigger (although, in research, their car is not necessarily "better")
Change "some" to "other" in the headline and this story makes much more sense. So-called "mobility experts" aren't trying to change their habits, they're trying to change YOUR habits.
During the election, Abbott campaigned against the Texas Enterprise Fund. Now he's in office? Oh, never mind. Just a reminder that politicians will ALWAYS let you down.
It's funny to watch the Chron's cub reporter try and explain away over two decades of incompetent, trinket governance.
From the people who get most things wrong in their Houston Area Survey (Walkable Neighborhoods! Public Transportation!) Pensions! The survey. And many think pieces about how to fix them.
Speaking of think-piecing the future, The Chron's editor of snark (and Twitter "gotchas" that aren't) wants yours on the future of Houston. I'm not sure why they're making an open call when we all know they're just going to take the Crossley's, Tameez and some other local progressive thinkers, mix in a token crazy sounding conservative and call it a day. Do yourself a favor and skip this series.
And finally.....
Coming soon to a County near you (me).... Tax Increases! Or, "How we screwed up by allowing development in flood plains and are now scrambling to fix it." Tales of Houston Area Leadership Vaccum Expansion, Vol. 1,826,228
Yay! Us.
