@Molson_Hart Having kids (2 6yr olds) has radicalized me in favor of walkable cities where cars are not supreme.

I also am happy to pay my property taxes because I see exactly where it goes and I value those things: schools, parks, law enforcement and fire, etc.

@realEstateTrent Major in accounting instead of finance.

No downside, plus it opens accounting doors.

@NebraskaDems @Adam_Morfeld @BostarEliot @bin_105 I got gerrymandered out of his district last year, but his completely vacant presence on his linked account here and in general around south Lincoln are why he needs a Dem to primary him. Totally absent.

@tylerguitar_ @Molson_Hart You should get out more. Try Japan, Australia, Sweden, Canada, Switzerland, NZ, Ireland, etc.

@Molson_Hart How does cash bail keep communities safer than deciding bail based on the risk to the community instead of access to $?

@EzraFBridgers @mucha_carlos USAF personnel get a "substandard housing" allowance anytime they have to stay in an Army barracks.

I used to think this was a myth, but after working adjacent to pay for a while I found out it is true. 🙃

In all seriousness, what is the plan for college essays in the fall?

On July 20, 1969, the world celebrated the remarkable achievements of #Apollo 11. We stepped onto the moon.

Total US manufacturing construction—that is, building the places that will build the things (especially: computer chips)—is at an all-time high, going back to the 1960s.

In Q1 of 2023, ~20 precent of GDP growth came just from manufacturing construction spending. ht @HBoushey
