@staringindis@HamptonPrezcott sorry, we are not going to have a serious discussion on whether or not the “city” as a concept that is more productive than rural townships. the question was settled shortly after the industrial revolution.
@staringindis@HamptonPrezcott i’m sorry but delta, emory, and coca-cola alone outstrip the entire state in terms of economic utility. no one is moving to georgia to work for hvac companies in ball ground, they’re coming to ATLANTA to work at fortune 500 companies
@ChefTimDix@LastMileATL@bluestein how can you be against density and simultaneously oppose marta expansion? either the country gets swallowed up into a suburban hellscape or you build infrastructure it already populated places to support more people
@tlynno@R_A_Belcher@ajc i agree that MARTA & co. has completely fucked up on safety and public perception, but you are still more likely to die/become severely injured driving on a GA highway.
but at least on highways there is an attempt at rule enforcement. MARTA doesn’t even try anymore.
The screwworm has shaken Texas agriculture previously. Those who lived through it in the 1950s say it was commonplace for ranchers to "scoop handfuls of worms from cattle" and other livestock. Herds decimated. Beef prices could soar, markets rattled. Buckle up, #TxLege
