Anyone ever seen interstate-induced clouds before? Low level CU developed perfectly along major interstates around Houston this morning. Kind of shocking to see such perfectly lined up clouds. #txwx

Wild local gov infrastructure finance story

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

A single accountant stole $53 million from her employer over 20 years and nobody noticed

Rita Crundwell was the comptroller of Dixon, Illinois with a population of 15,000

She opened a secret bank account called “Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account”

For two decades she transferred city funds into it while filing fake invoices

She used the money to become the most successful quarter horse breeder in America

Owned 400 horses, multiple farms, a custom bus, and a $2.1 million motorhome

She won the World Championship in quarter horse breeding four times while actively robbing a small town

Only got caught because a substitute accountant covered her desk while she was on vacation

The city had been cutting firefighter jobs and road repairs for years while this was happening

$53 million. One woman. 20 years. One vacation.

Every single planning minister during this period has stood up and said they will cut red tape to accelerate building…

[James Griffith @griff_js]

Building anything in Britain now requires 3,200 pages of reports.

A new report gets added to the UK planning system every year.

When does the paperwork become the project?

In 2006, every section of Craigslist was a $1b marketplace startup waiting to happen.

In 2026, every section of PWC's website is a $10b AI startup waiting to happen.

Very good idea. Mayors now have the cash (CRSTS) and now need the powers!

[Ben Hopkinson @Ben_A_Hopkinson]

There's a new Lords amendment that will give Mayors the power to approve new underground or tram projects instead of waiting 3+ years to get the Transport Secretary to sign off.

That means Tracy Brabin could approve the Leeds tram or Sadiq Khan could approve the Bakerloo Line Extension.

This amendment needs to be adopted. Mayors know their area best. They should be able to pledge to voters that they will build new infrastructure and then be able to approve, fund and deliver it.

In Spain and France, local leaders have all the power to deliver local transport. In turn, they build projects 2x faster and for less than half the price.

@s8mb I actually read this as a move to get ahead of AI + AI architecture firms, rather than pure guild protectionism - but perhaps I am projecting.

From coffees to contracts: here's how @SchemeFlow went from an idea to a company.
