Going to the doctor should be inconvenient if you are going at the same time as everyone else. Rearrange your illnesses accordingly.
Driving through a city SHOULD be inconvenient if you're driving at the same time as everyone else. If that bothers you, advocate for better public transit service & bike infrastructure, even if it's just so other people opt out of driving and give you more space.

The Russian statement below is not accurate. The sovereignty of Taiwan was left unsettled by the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco.
"Eighty years have passed, and Japan still refuses to recognize the results of World War II, as enshrined in international law," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a daily press conference on the blatant Taiwan-related remarks made earlier this month by

America being a gigantic national market with relatively few frictions between states is an underrated but critical part of what makes us the largest/most powerful economy in the world. What a shame if the most important technology of our lifetimes is not an example of this.

The New Temperance Movement As we have learned all too well of late, it is hard to keep a bad idea down. The Trump administration turned to tariffs, New York City elected a socialist, and prohibitionism is again on the march — if in a somewhat more, so to speak, watered-down

Just stop, Ed. We all know by now that this is nonsense. Gas has returned to normal levels for some time. The price keeps increasing because of the cost of renewables.

It's worth the occasional reminder. But my main point, if you click through to the article, is that presidents should not threaten to use federal regulatory power to shutter TV stations for criticizing POTUS.
I'm not looking for a leader of a Boy Scout Troop. I'm looking for a leader on policies. The Democrats ran Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris in the three elections. Where is the difficulty for a conservative in those choices?

The AI spending is mainly private capital. Trains generally cannot attract private funding. Maybe investing in the 21st century > investing in the 19th.
imagine if all the money spent on Ai was spent on trains.

Doc circulating in Ukrainian media is said to be the 28-point plan. It's not as absurd and dire as has been reported -- it's even more so. Eng. translation follows. N.B. I absolutely love point 3: "it is expected" Russia won't invade anyone else. Cool. Plus, America profits from
