Michigan’s North-South rail is more than just a trip to TC; it’s a blueprint for statewide mobility. 🛤️ By using existing state-owned tracks, we can link regional hubs like Ann Arbor, Mt. Pleasant, and Cadillac.

Fun Fact Follow-up: If we put take the average of Bus Driver traveling 150 miles a shift, and the distance between mainland US and Mainland Greenland being about 2000 miles. That would take more than 13 shifts, or 2+ weeks to travel one way a single time.

Fun Fact: The average Bus Driver travels about 150 miles in a shift. That like driving from mainland Alaska to mainland Russia, then back to the US, and back to Russia again in one workday.

Michigan City, Indiana has made fixed route and paratransit free throughout the city.
Why ? Well, the city found that the administrative cost of collecting, securing, and managing cash fares actually exceeded the total revenue generated from those fares.

@boris3324 This is horrible!
America could survive the Flock of Seagulls hair on a president, but this has gone too far. It's like Johnny Rotten, but bigger and uglier.
It's unbefitting the office!
It's unpresidential!

Long story short, 2 years and 10 month later, I'm back. Got rehired on the spot because we're always short drivers. They never even asked about the bus.
Moral of the story: sometimes you have treat yourself.

Story Time: it's Friday March 3rd, 2023. I go into work on my day off, filling in for one of my paratransit brothers. Early in my day, headed for a pickup in the outskirts I notice a swirling blue portal in an abandoned factory lot.
A lot of drivers would have stayed on route.
But that just isn't me.
I pull up, it's looking like your standard Stargate. Being large enough to drive my bus into, I decide it's a given and go to another world.
Learning to survive, becoming accepted by the locals took time. Eventually, I was accepted and started a family.
Lowndes County in rural #Alabama I saw homes that are not connected to public sewage systems, whose owners can't afford to install septic tanks. Many resort to digging ditches & straight piping waste water to within meters of homes, posing serious health risks. #USApoverty
@KarenSSlater @ryangrim@schwarz Ma'am, the American republic has been dead. An oligarchy is what remains, Musk is one of our oligarchs. His opinions & wealth have real world effects on our society.
Freeze it then air fry at 450. Drain the fat. Add a little water and plenty of salt into the pot for au jus. Crispy on the outside and no more than medium internally.
