// The study found that the greatest causes of travel delays in these corridors are red lights and delays during passenger boarding.
Serious question: Wouldn't it be simpler and cheaper to merely sync all the traffic lights on these bus routes? Cretin Avenue in Saint Paul, for example, used to be metered for 28mph.
Oh, please. Chait is an apologist. If President Obama *really* wanted universal healthcare, he wouldn't have taken the single-payer, "Medicare-for-all" option off the table before the debate even began.
And that's just the top of the list.
If President Obama had governed like he campaigned none of us on the left that actively worked and voted for him would be nearly as pissed off as we are.
Rachel, the "Obamacare" which which we ended up has deep roots in long-held Republican ideas. And the single-payer option was absolutely rejected before the first roundtable discussion.
If the royalty system was what was propping up the music industry, you'd (maybe) have a point. But it's not and you don't.
When I was first diagnosed with end-stage renal disease I was an MCHA subscriber (back when Blue Cross Blue Shield was the administrator). Even though I wasn't subject to it, the six month exclusion for pre-existing conditions wouldn't bother me[1] nearly as much as that the policy is an 80/20 plan.
You pay 20 percent of the cost for services (instead of much more reasonable co-pays) up to the amount of your deductible each year.
That 20 percent bankrupted us in less than three...
Holy smokes, I suspect Emmer's going to find out just how much a food taster earns in Minnesota (according to Swift's resource it's US$27,000).
Wow. Big whopping mistake. Connelly *is* Radio Heartland. The music was great, yeah, but that could be gotten elsewhere. What made Radio Heartland unique was the conversation. Connelly's conversation with the players.
A sustainable business model might have been syndication (as in every other show mentioned in the communication to members). I'm sure that was considered but I'm flummoxed as to why it wasn't tried.
Congratulations to Jon Spayde. He's one of the best, and I'm glad to see him land this gig. It's going to be interesting to watch him write for an online audience.
Just wondering, how does participating in a byline strike generate "unneeded negative publicity?" Serious question.
This is precisely why, for most sites, comments are a bad idea, and one of the reasons I turned comments off on my own site (a minor reason; the big one was SEO troll spam).
With multiple free internet publishing platforms available -- some as simple as posterious -- speech isn't being stifled. Got something to say? Say it on your own site.
That said, I really like the comments on MinnPost because they're, well, generally more intelligent.
