They said despite cloaking himself as a supporter of far-left organizations, Sullivan was a “one-man show” who found common cause with anyone seeking to “tear it all down.”
the guy in that article is a moron, but solar has the potential to be more profitable than farming - it’s immune to drought and equally immune to subsidies.
The surge in wealth among millennial heirs is also creating a lucrative new market for wealth-management firms, luxury companies, travel firms and real estate brokers.
I’ll probably get downvoted to shit for being a centrist shill on this issue but I think the fed actually does good work. Runaway inflation is a lot worse for poor people than a couple years of high interest rates.
The fed prints money like mad for 2 years and you think inflation hasnt runaway?
The fed is owned and operated by the biggest banks in the USA, they look after their own self interests and we should abolish the central bank immediately (just like the founding fathers wanted)
I’m coming back way late to this party but… I got this from the EPA’s website: www.epa.gov/planandbudget/budget – the EPA actually has had it’s budget decreased from the previous year several times since the year 2000. Although it hasn’t been cut since 2018. TIL.
Read through the article, and yeah honestly I struggled to find the point. Seems like this specific town gets a ton of money from cops dinging people with minor infractions, but I didn’t see any suggestion that the cops were somehow inflating that number. Sounds like a lot of people there can’t afford the ticket, so they ignore the summons and get dinged again for not showing up.
Sooooo yeah, the data suggests something is fucky, but it’s not like cops are breaking into garages to ticket people, so what’s actually happening?
These types of towns use dirty tactics to catch people, like going from 75mph to 45mph without warning, often at the bottom of a hill or without enough time to properly slow down without hitting your brakes.
There are many states without absolute speed limits. This means a speeding ticket is really an ‘unsafe speed’ ticket, and you can get out of it if you can argue the speed was safe for the road conditions, even if you fully admit to exceeding the posted limit. It’s also what allows cops to issue warnings instead of citations.
These towns basically exist to create situations where they can write citations for things that could easily be beaten in court. Their hope is that the people won’t return to the town to fight it.

I would wager there is no location like that in Gretna. Louisiana has speed zone ahead signs. It seems like they are specifically going for expired registration type items. Even the expressway has a steady speed limit through Gretna. I think the worst part about all of this is the “contempt” fee.
My brake tag is expired. I will be avoiding Gretna.
