@Biff248824@alecrobbins They had that in 1950. A little 4” high door with a grill over it mounted in your front door. You open the little inside door and ask the visitor what they want! (A “speakeasy door”)
@opinionatedobs7@PhillyGov How about install toilet compartments on every other car? And public restrooms at every station and every couple of blocks in the rest of the city?
Polio! The over-riding fear in my childhood. Kids on crutches, and trapped in Iron Lungs!! My parents got us to every vaccine as it was introduced. The Salk Vaccine, the Sabin Vaccine. And we didn’t get polio. And these idiots would bring us back to 1949 and let kids die?
@ArtCandee They’re not randomized order like caifornia and Oregon ballots have been for decades? Like in jr high school, you assigned seats are in alphabetical order?
@rithykhut@shanedkavanaugh Unfortunately, as an uninformed person, I assumed that Novick and Wanner, surprisingly, were of the same political leanings, and some entity is supporting them both. I now hear that this was sent by, basically, the Portland Metro Chamber, (but under name of a newly-formed org?)
@QuadMet You may have heard: An eastern railroad bought the site for a rail yard, sitting in their eastern US offices, and looking at a map. Later, they sent representatives to look at the site and discovered it was a steep hill. Unable to build, they donated the site to a hospital.
@Boenau In Portland OR, police used to have black-and-white cars. But their newer ones (now SUVs) are all black. Just trying to make things a little more dangerous. Our transit buses used to have half or more of the bus painted white. Their new scheme is 80% dark blue!
