Pension Fund Socialism sounds like a win-win until its your retirement on the line because politicians aren't willing to admit they broke a market which they also directed hundreds of millions of public dollars into because the politics would look bad.

"More of the economy should be publicly owned" and "It's good to steal from publicly owned agencies" seem like obviously contradictory statements, but somehow it's the primary stance of a lot of DSA types?

Sewer Socialists would hate these people.

How many times would you wait an extra 2 hours to get home because SEPTA can't keep trains running and evening service is atrocious before you permanently gave up on Regional Rail?

Ongoing collapse will depress ridership for decades, even if things quickly improve (they won't).

Somehow, we have a great offense this year, and a horrible defense.

So on that point the old AD sucked and refuse to embrace letting boosters pay players via nil. Fans have been obsessed with this for years. Coach just said yesterday that is all true, new AD finally allows it, good times.

I don't know if Sherrill legally can block data centers that don't provide their own power, or if it matters given interstate market, but attempting to seems like good politics.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

I went to Sparta on Saturday, and while I'm not looking to move there, I didn't hate it, I understand the appeal of Lake Mohawk. I kind of like Newton (baby Morristown) too. It's really the northern part of Sussex where it really feels like you're in the middle of nowhere.
