I didn't realize there was a place the EPA could operate that is not within a state.

To let people know Baltimore is a city full of smart, industrious people who find solutions to the environmental and social problems facing our nation, as well as bring the resources and continued opportunities for growth such a reputation would bring. Instead, Baltimore is showing that its scared and misinformed, and will fight against change and progress. We're screaming at the top of our lungs that Baltimore is not a place where people who solve problems live.

This is literally the right wing logic used to ignore climate change by claiming the scientist who present the data profit off it. Stop spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Yup, this is an anti-science, anti-environment position based on misinformation and fearmongering.

I think we're spending a lot of money and lining a lot of politicians pockets to look like we're working on our infrastructure.

That's 2.5 TRILLION milliliters! (Serious, that dude's emphasis on the number is dumb, you can make it any number with a simple change of unit)

The lack of turn signals is not because we are in an apocalypse and the people in Baltimore aren't zombies. This is psychotic dribble coated thinly in racism. Go outside, you need it.

The amount of BMW's and Lexus's I've seen not use turn signals really throws the poverty excuse out the window.

Its just showing the truth that was always there: these awards are just commercials with a wrapper of authority.

I think it will be flight from high CoL urban centers. Should actually be a boon for places like Baltimore. Becuase now people who want the job in Manhattan and the city life can do that job remotely in a cheaper city like Baltimore.

>I have never seen a person on a wheelchair riding down the sidewalk next to the maryland ave bike lane; they ALWAYS ride in the bike lane because the sidewalks are not very passable just from trees, broken concrete, etc.. as a cyclist, I think that's great that we can have better bike infrastructure AND help handicapped folks get around easier.

This is literally discussing how to make transportation easier for bikes and wheelchairs. Completely disconnected from scooter parking.

You were literally complaining about the riding of wheelchairs in your post, not the parking of them. I responded in kind about scooters. At least pretend to argue in good faith, sheesh

> scooters and bikes are the greenest, fastest, and all-around best mode of transportation within a city. I think people and the DOT over-react to minor violations while ignoring many other sidewalk issues.

Well, that is because scooters and bikes are also the fastest and most dangerous modes of transportation on sidewalks. A pedestrian, even in a wheelchair, has very little ability to hurt other people due to their movement. Bikes can and do kill people, so they require more regulation (just like cars have even more regulations than bikes because they are even more dangerous).

Bro, if I don't complain how do I get the reddit updoots? Just figure out how these storage units are actually a suburban lizard people plot and upvote to the left!

While maybe not "fun", banks are actually incredibly important. Baltimore has a large underbanked population who are statistically less likely to have access to tech based ways to alleviate the issues of not having a brick and mortar bank.

Not to mention, with people getting married (or re-married) later in life, a lot of couples each already have their own set of everything, whereas when couples get together young, they build up a single house's worth of stuff together. When they combine households, that shits gotta go somewhere. A lot sell it, but in the meantime store it. Everyone I know who owns a storage unit is because they got married and suddenly had two houses worth of stuff.

Anyone who is unwilling to take an MTA bus will be equally unwilling to take any rail line they build.

For all the hate the counties get in this sub, people always love suggestions that make it easier for the county folk to get here.

Jewish people were overrepresented in higher ed relative to their proportion of the general population at the time of these quotas as well. Doesn't make it right.

I'm sure the people encouraging Jewish quotas told themselves the same thing.

Most of them still have Asian quotas to this day.

And his students. He'd have been canned for sexual harassments almost instantly today (and to be clear, he should have been, I'm not complaining about today's standards. The man was a menace to women in science, but that was accepted back then)

> But if there's anything riding has taught me it's that sometimes the bike begs you to be stupid. Sometimes the bike is more persuasive than you are.

If you are dumb enough to be convinced by an inanimate object, I don't want you driving any motor vehicle. Hell, probably shouldn't even be on a pedal bicycle.

I think they're overexaggerating about the crime, especially since I'm sure security will be tight around the area, but there's absolutely nothing weird about bringing your own clubs. Used to go on business trips in the Bay Area, and tons of those guys brought their own clubs.

Ehhh, it sucks and I regret grad school. But don't waste too much time feeling bad for them. Realistically I know I still have better opportunities after graduation than the vast majority of the population could dream of. In the end its really a privleged problem to have; still should be solved, but isn't the top of my list of priorities.

Anyone with a PhD from JH absolutely can make 6 figures. Some choose to stay in Academia, but honestly, I don't feel sorry for PDs, because after grad school if you still stay in acamdeia, you are part of the problem. Leave that toxic shit and go make the world a better place.
