What a terribly biased headline and summary. This is not about those who have done wrong, just those ACCUSED of wrong doing. We have no idea if they are guilty, just that someone accused them. In the US we normally say innocent until proven guilty,.and here is one of the most common ways someone innocent is accused.
Spending way too much money on projects is why we can't build. The best thing to do is starve the beasts making money of of way too expensive projects. If the return on investment isn't good then the smart thing to do is not invest. If Biden wants to support rail (high speed or otherwise) he needs to reform the systems that make costs too high, not keep funding them.
The problem is it isn't zero pedestrians, it is slightly more than zero so driversquit looking as it seems there never are any and then the exception happens and they didn't look.
Where I live we have a lot of separated bike lanes where most cities have sidewalks. So yes there are bikes on what you incorrectly identified as a sidewalk .
I've heard that story, but it doesn't fit the facts. Bulb life and efficiency is a compromise and no conspiracy is needed for manufactures to all settle on a similar optimal compromise. Long life bulbs existed back in the day, they were sometimes useful but mostly not worth it.
What is important isn't that the sun is directly overhead, just that it is "close" to overhead. Wherever you live you plan your day around the sun. Sure we have lights, and if you never go outside they are fine - but most people would agree that is a terrible life: once you accept you will go outside once in a while you want the times you go outside to be when the sun is up if possible (except astronomers who what nobody else to have those artificial lights on when it should be dark)
Every work an overnight shift? Everyone I know who does it ends up switching to "normal" hours on weekend just because all their friends and family live normal hours. Normally you sleep when everyone else is eating lunch, so every holiday you are switching to a normal schedule. Even if you try to keep the same schedule, almost nothing is open at 2am so you can't do any shopping on your weekend if you don't switch to follow the local world.
That is what they publicly say. However more than one company has discovered they can double dip: sell their premium devices and still track them. So long as they are not caught they get more $$$. I don't know if Apple is, but it is a risk.
One more advantage of the used cars I buy: the cell network they can connect to doesn't exist anymore (the radios don't exist, the company itself exists, but they have upgraded towers to not support older cell connections).
They are not blocked by cars most places they should go. suburbs with no traffic are dense enough to support bus transport with reasonable frequencies, but they don't get it.
There are a few roads where buses are blocked by traffic. However those roads have (or would if the buses would actually go anyplace other than those roads) enough demand that they should have a fully grade separated train on those routes (or often just off those routes and no service at all on the road itself - get the transit closer to where people want to be)
That is false. Pt can't get places because it doesn't even try. The places where there are a lot of cars we need to do something of course, but the real problem is the long tail of places it doesn't go. I consider less that a bus every 15 minutes not going: nobody who can afford a car has time to waste on such bad service.
Sure, but any idiot understands that attack. Which is why the major political parties send volunteers to watch elections go ensure that doesn't happen.
Can someone who isn't trained figure out how to audit the results to verify they are correct without figuring out who anyone voted for? With simple paper ballots anyone can. With computer voting machines, as someone with a computer science degree i'm confident I can rig the results in a.way that I wouldn't catch is someone else was rigging the results.
There are no other cars around. I often park at the far end of the lot so nobody parks close to me, and then I don't have to worry about those lines.
