Californias average home cost is almost $700,000. It’s going from San Diego to San Francisco……. To extremely densely populated cities. That’s Over double the national average for a home. Now the spaces in between big cities in the prairie are extremely cheap.

“Most of the country is vacant flat land.” Most of the country isn’t California.

Just before 08 crash. My state has a fund for a train to the ski areas from the airport. It would have made our tourism boom. The $6-7B we had for the project disappeared and the plans abandoned.

Especially since building railways is pretty easy in most of the country. US has the big 3: vacant flat land. Shit we could probably bang it out in a weekend. However bailouts are cooler according to the top 1%

Do you think they have a sign that says “it’s been 365 days since our last work related incident”?

The article basically said they have no cash because everything’s credit. It would be fruitless to rob it. They’re just digitally stealing money. Ironically getting rid of cash only fucks the poor.

Very true. Uplifting news for a small margin

That’s not uplifting. Absolutely no one has read this and thought “thank goodness the banks are financially ok with all that tax payer money they got”.

As just a Joe shmo who doesn’t do software development I’d use festering or riddled. There was a period of time when teslas stock price exploded (rise)

Exploding seems like a word best suited for rising valuation. Imploding means it’s collapsing

That was my thoughts. There’s no way America consumes a quantifiable amount. I imagine there’s a few places that sell it in cultural districts, but certainly not enough to put a dent in the issue. I honestly already thought this was a law.

Trickle up economics makes much more sense. Healthy middle class boasts a healthy upper class. It creates competition, which is the basics of capitalism.

We should all know he implemented “trickle down economics”. Which was a big ass joke.
Edit: coined to implemented

Microburst last for a few seconds and are inconsistent with surrounding wind speeds. They also go top to bottom rather than side to side like wind. That’s why they’re dangerous, they push planes down. I believe mt Washingtons was fastest sustained/recorded winds in the US. New record is Australia at 253mph. As a former pilot, they are scary as fuck. Thank god we have new warning systems. But they only buy you a minute or two of warning.

Perhaps, however It’s also so darn expensive because they need to build bridges and under/over passes over every road and highway through the city. I bet if there’s a budget breakdown, that’s 80%+ of the budget.
