Oops! Thanks

The chemical most places use for drycleaning is perchloroethylene, or perc, which can contaminate groundwater if not stored or disposed of properly.

I used to operate a drill rig for taking soil and water samples. I learned to read all the utility markings and to spot the telltale markings of previous drill work. I can walk around an urban area and tell you where all the gas stations and drycleaners used to be just based on a look at the pavement. In that sense I can “see” things others can’t.

Trump has abdicated all rights to be considered human.

Shooting sailors in the water after their boat has been sunk is literally the example the military gives of an illegal order. This was made a war crime specifically in response to Nazis doing this exact thing in WW2.

It would actually be pretty funny to send them the data they want but only from districts that voted Republican. (Of course they shouldn’t ACTUALLY do this but the idea is appealing).

We really need to stop electing people who think following the law is optional.

It’s more like walking on train tracks and being surprised when you are hit by a train.

The share of pedestrians increased over that period, which may have had something to do with it. I suspect cell phone use while driving makes up a large part as well.

It would be more economical to pay for people to relocate and train them for new jobs. There’s plenty of room in cities and suburbs for the displaced. To be clear, I’m not talking about getting rid of towns of 5000; I’m talking about towns of a population of 500 or less.

Hey, if they want to stay when the water, electric, sewage, roads, fire department, police, and all other publicly subsidized services are removed they are welcome to it. We all shouldn’t have to pay because a handful of people can’t adjust to the century they live in.

I’ve said it before, but we need to start shutting down all these miniscule towns that have no reason for existing. They are nothing but an economic and social drain on the country.

Some do, but they happen less and there is legal recourse when it does happen.

Sure this will improve the performance divide between red and blue states.

Most arguments for using Hitler’s DNA end up supporting the eugenicist trash Nazi scientists espoused. There is little practical use for it.

Without civil rights there is no equity or social justice. It isn’t just about getting married. It’s about getting fired for being out. It’s about being denied housing for being out. It’s about being jailed for sodomy or dragged behind a truck until you are dead.

More like it illustrates environmental policy. Pretty sure that is the Oak Street Beach curve on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. The curve has needed rebuilding to accommodate changes to water levels for many years. A $3.4 billion rebuild of that whole section of the lakefront that will add more land between the building and the lake has been going through an agonizingly slow approval process. When it finally gets done it will add more park space providing ample room for bike traffic as well as car traffic.

Except both those issues were wedge issues chosen by Republicans to gain votes from the religious. Those weren’t major platforms for Democrats until Republicans forced the issues.

The white man will try to satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and real justice.

Those victories are very much NOT symbolic to gay people and women. They are very real and very crucial to their welfare.

Ah yes, Ronald Reagan, staunch proponent of a right to abortion and gay marriage.

Depends on the group. Iroquois houses were communal but Pueblo were more like townhomes. Other groups, like the Mississippian culture built individual homes.
