Not only from Africa, but from some of the poorest areas of Africa, ie Liberia and Somalia. We take in the poorest of the poor, both domestically and abroad. Longitudinal data would be more helpful in figuring out how bad things are and how to improve ourselves. That said, I'm not sure really what I...

About $360,000 has been raised for another phase of planning for the second daily train to Chicago. The total cost of this phase of study is expected to be between $850,000 and $1.25 million. Looks like they'll try to get it done in 2017, theoretically the time that construction could begin (so, *s...

Segway dud.

Sounds like Hillary has been using state democratic parties to 'legally' launder money to the DNC for herself in the Primaries and/or the general election. Hooray for the Supreme Court legalizing bullshit! (this time in 2014)

http://grist.org/politics/one-of-the-angry-ranchers-complaints-might-make-more-sense-than-you-think Posting this here since it relates to race and the boundaries between public/private property (both which have been discussed in this thread), and because I found it interesting. Here's the meat about...

Apparently Planned Parenthood just endorsed Hillary Clinton, and there's an uproar. They're blocking people and w/e else on Twitter and elsewhere, which isn't helping.

While I don't stray much into that area since I live in St Paul, my friends who live closer (N St Paul, Oakdale, WBL, etc.) view the area as generally consisting of rich and snobby conservative transplants from red states. "That area" generally being Mahtomedi, Dellwood, Lake Elmo, and Gra...

Hopefully we'll reach a point where people can mutter "oh, that's trigonal for ja!" to themselves and life will continue on.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

American cities are now invited to submit proposals for how they would remake themselves. The challenge is open to medium-sized cities of between 200,000 and 850,000 people, that have a public transportation system of some sort. They should not be part of a larger metro region, so the proposal does...

It sounds like there aren't any minnesotan cities of the size they're looking for, since they're looking for a city with 200,000-850,000 people inside its boundaries that isn't part of a larger metropolitan area. Which is unfortunate, because while $50 million isn't much relative to the whole Twin C...

Is there some kind of advantage to bringing all those partners in from the get-go just to have them drop out as the scope gets narrowed? I don't think the other planned lines in the region started out so huge, except maybe Gateway? I'm not entirely sure, but it may be necessary for them to remain c...

Yes, please.

It sounds like it would also be used to bludgeon the private sector (look at all the people who want your store/restaurant here!). Idk if this is something that ever happens though.

United Properties and its partners also asked city staff to consider closing down Nicollet Mall between Washington Avenue S. and 3rd Street S. — but the city refused

Uh, yeah, let's not do that. "Closing Nicollet" does not have a good ring to it.

“It appears the Met Council is stonewalling,” said LPA spokeswoman Mary Pattock. “It makes us wonder what they have to hide.”

And someone uses the term "Met Kremlin" in the comments.

Garbage.

People have been threatening her and calling all sorts of vile names. I'm curious as to when people will realize that this just happens on the Internet. The more prominent one is, the more shit one gets. I know some people like to set up a mental picture of "oh my God look at that *people who ...
