Correct. They aren’t just on the streets because there’s not an off-road track available. They’re hoping to start shit with people.

Yeah. I was there a few weeks ago. The restaurant was pretty empty and it still took over an hour to bring out a couple of sandwiches, and they still forgot some items completely. None of the staff seemed to notice or care. Sucks when places close down but I’m not exactly shocked by this.

Geez I figured from the title the person might have been clipped on a corner but nope….smack dab in the middle of the road. How did the driver not see them?!

This law is basically resume padding for politicians to claim that they support environmental issues. A $300 annual cap on fines renders it completely toothless, even if it were enforced. The state isn't going to waste time and money constantly sending people out to narc on a Chelo's. I have no problems with trying to reduce pollution and waste, but it's pretty clear that this is not an effective way to go about it, and from what I've seen that sentiment is fairly common across the political spectrum.

The funniest part is that I saw this on Facebook and it was flooded with boomers commenting stuff like “I can’t believe they’re using my tax dollars on this!!!!!” Like they genuinely believed that the state was conducting a full forensic analysis of Santa on their dime.

But did you know you could save up to 2 whole cents on your bill by changing your lightbulbs or something?!

Oh good, Fox News and a 15 second clip from “GOP War Room”. Got any Matt Walsh tweets to help solidify your airtight argument?

Ah, a link to a Trump campaign press release, the most unbiased of all sources.

Electric heat costs are brutal. I paid nearly as much for electric heat when I rented a 2 BR apartment as I do now for gas heating in a 2 story house. Plus the electric rate spike is much higher.
