Hannity also isn't "the press" meaning he is not a hard news journalist. He's an opinion/news analysis personality.

Banning is a strong word, but we should definitely discourage it. Poor unmarried people shitting out kids that the rest of us have to pay for is not something I am a big fan of.

You'd be surprised. Vet bills can be unexpectedly expensive and a sick or injured pet can run up a thousand dollar vet bill pretty quick. A family with a $70K income and a couple of kids could find that pretty difficult to accomodate i

Maybe because you took a vow to care for each other in sickness and in health.... Marriage is a social contract. Some of the benefits (lower income taxes, preferential inheritance, etc) are in recognition that you are taking on some of the

Solving the flooding wasn't really the point. It's Chicago. The point was a multi billion dollar project and all the graft, bribery, and political favors that come with it.

Towing will destroy the transmission in most automatic transmission cars. That is why most of them specify flatbed towing in the owner's manual.

They'll sell the service contracts anyway. There's no justification for buying one for any current new car, but people still do.

Still, 30 minutes is a sizable fraction of most people's free time in a given day. Especially compared to 5 minutes needed at a regular gas station.

The fast charging network only exists in a few areas. If you happen to live there, great. But for the rest of the country, "range anxiety" is still pretty real.

When I can buy a reliable $5k ICE car (which are the kind of cars I drive) I don't see an EV ever really making sense.

The El is ok if you live near a stop and are going downtown (Loop) or to the airport. But there are huge areas that are not practical to get to via the El. You need to then use buses, which are slow and don't seem to follow much of a t

Trump is not "far" right. He's not even really a conservative. Sanders is a socialist, he says as much himself.

Athletics facilities are normally paid for by donors, and their operational costs are budgeted out of athletics revenue which is separate from the overall University budget. Tuition dollars normally do not fund athletics in any way.

Yep. Languages I used in school included Pascal, Modula-2, Scheme, and of course C. Fond memories. Everything seemed simple then.
