Unfortunately it can be upvoted by people who mean well and want to bring awareness to climate issues. This is a setback for those of us who really want to understand what's going on with droughts this year. For example, is the Color

I think an article you may be referring to is the in-depth Strong Towns series that analyzes Galesburg, Illinois. Galesburg is by no means a suburb, and in many ways it's more comparable to a big city since it dominates its county and

Are taxes not higher in Detroit for things like fast food? I'm asking since I think Detroit does have the highest property taxes in the state and one of the highest in the country.

Would reducing 5% of water from this point in Louisiana not also have a noticeable impact and that state's environment? I could see a significant legal battle here, much bigger than we've seen in cases where other states down stre

Illinois is generally in the bottom three of states for pensions being underfunded, and Chicago is normally the city with the highest or second highest sales tax in the US. As an Illinois resident I'm concerned about the high percentag

The US military is sometimes quite involved in disaster relief efforts, so I feel as though this makes sense. Also, I think they're constantly tinkering around with new toys and techniques.

MLS is also a good place to see some of Europe's biggest stars play in the final years of their careers. I've always thought a league full of almost-retired legends was a good way to get some publicity.

In this case we're not talking about age of consent for sexual activity, but instead for a business activity. The financial lure may be even stronger for a 21 year old since people at that age may have more financial responsibilities a

I agree. The Putin regime has paid such an enormous price over the last three months that I'm now concerned they might take egregious and insane steps at any time. These steps would be to save face, and I think they can in part be avoi

I think many public figures, including Karine Jean-Pierre, pushed the narrative that Russia helped Trump cheat in 2020. But yes, the gerrymandering issue is also at play. Using the term "stolen" is very serious, and people in auth

Yes it's unsettling that public figures in the current and previous administration have publicly expressed their belief that the 2016 and 2020 elections, respectively, were stolen. I wish that could be changed.

Given how much trouble they're having in Ukraine, I can't imagine Putin or his immediate subordinates doing that. If he's lost his mind that much then I think there would be an immediate coup in Russia.
