  • The reason Alabama has state run liquor stores is that Christians clutched their pearls at the idea of people making profits off of the vice of alcohol. This individual agrees that vices and profits don’t mix from a moral perspective. Where this individual and the “alleged” inbreds split, and I’m assuming, is that they would like the state to supply all vices in a profit free environment. A novel idea that would surely not go down in a favorable way in a state that never finds itsself at the absolute bottom of any quality of life list, solely because of the existence of Mississippi.




  • Yeah the non-cynic in me agrees with you, but I shoved him in a box for that comment, and for this one. The thing that doesn’t sit well with me is that this bill is coming 6 years after the problem really became an issue. With that and the close proximity of midterms, it just seems like some corporate daddy with enough swing has gotten their fill of single family housing and has decided to let a bill be passed that doesn’t affect their current enormous backlog of “investments”. There’s also a crazy man that lives in my crawlspace that believes that this is all because community credit unions started bidding on homes in low income neighborhoods and selling them back fo people who lived there /have lived in that neghboor hood. He’s bad with specifics (radon and rats it from the crawlspace accommodations) but I think it was in Detroit or Chicago?

    At anyrate, I would sure love a solid passenger train system that wasn’t getting fingerbanged by the elephant hand that is the US freight system.

    I’m confused, isn’t this fuck cars? isn’t this not a car? We all have Bez but this is seemingly a great way to not have a bunch of Amazon trucks mucking up inner city streets. Even in the no cars utopia, we still need to get shit to places. I would much prefer using these and turning 2 lane roads in to pedestrian/bike traffic with a one way “freight bike” lane. Bunch of mutha fuckkggin reactionaries out here.
