I'm genuinely surprised that we're still ranked as a super power in academics, considering the way the education system has fallen off. We're doing it through sheer numbers, with the addition of immigrants who may/may not have come here for school and stayed.
I disagree. Harris presented her candidacy as more or less a continuation of Biden's policies. Many of my D voting friends were very disenchanted with Biden by the time Harris got crowned as Biden's successor. Some even called her the bobble head. They really wanted a proper primary with other choices, hence they simply sat out the election. So are many Independents who lean left.Basically the MAGA sentiments were always in you though. The escalation etc. Trump's abrasive tone. Which reminds me. My arch enemy here. After I pointed out his primary reason for voting for Trump (to see heads explode), that was the last time he came here hehehe. Great tastes in attributes, Republican gangsters.
Pretty much. Do you believe it’s ok for people to freeze and starve in the streets, or no? It’s really that simple for the most part.
You are designated an ambassador of the D party. Just be careful ICE will watch you on line activity.
Read what I said. It had nothing to do with the '24 election but what animated MAGA especially during 2016-21.
Yes I agree. Trump is an autocrat.
She seemed a continuation until she actually started campaigning, with "The first thing I plan to do..." and other ideas that were the opposite of what Biden said about the Border, crime, etc. Before, she was asked if she would do anything differently and she said No.
The Elephants in the room WRT people living in the streets: poorly educated and mentally ill. At least here in the Milwaukee area- it's not being handled well.
I don’t know of many (if any) cities in the USA that treat their most vulnerable residents like human beings vs trash to be disposed of.
Part of the problem here, is the fact that the city does have places for homeless people to stay, but they often don't want to go there. I'm seeing more people who clearly live in their cars lately, but it can't be said that the city doesn't do anything or that they don't try. MKE has a bad reputation WRT the Police, but it's not accurate universally, nor are the officers uncaring- I started to listen to a police scanner app because sirens and activity was increasing not far from my house, so I wanted to know if they were getting much closer. That has happened a few times and a chase involving armed carjackers ended directly in front of my house. But the point is, when I'm listening, I hear interactions with homeless, mentally ill and all kinds of people, without the anger, condescention or lack of caring that people say is typical of that department.
It’s a problem that simply requires solutions on a national scale to fix. Minneapolis can’t do it alone. We need to be better as a country.
Oh hey, look, a couple Republicans grew themselves little tiny balls.
MKE is Milwaukee....or are you in Minneapolis? Thought you were east coast for some reason....
My mistake. I’m in the DC area, which has its own problems.
MSP if we're doing the urban airport code thing
Yours is DCA/BWI/IAD? Airport codes for areas someone lives in has always struck me as odd....but I was in an industry where specific airport codes mattered vs referring to the nearby metro area
Yeah, I’ve got a nice selection of airportsMSP if we're doing the urban airport code thing
DCA is preferred since it’s an easy trip on the Metro train here. I can even walk to the Metro station from my home, so fairly convenient.
Back in the day with manual guides only you needed to know your airport codes and limitations as a transfer point for a given area....no computers to help out. The OAG and ACG were our bibles....Yeah, I’ve got a nice selection of airports
