I think we should give CCRI the mandate of heaven to cover the state in good affordable housing. I want CCRI to be my landlord

You get a state primary because you're a party. The consequence of that is that you have no control over your party's voters or who runs under your banner. If a socialist wins a majority of primary voters, congrats, your party now accepts socialists.

I had a guy tell me it was too foggy & he couldn't see me. I was riding on the shoulder. I have a very nice taillight (radar even). It was a 45 mph speed limit and I was going 22. If he was driving to conditions, maybe going 8 mph faster than a bike vs 30 would be the solution!

Golf to solar is just an incredible arc, particularly if it's unfenced (or fenced appropriately) so all sorts of critters can take advantage of the understory.

What is the point of the RI state Senate? How is it not just a weirder house? It doesn't represent the municipalities as co-equals like the us Senate is supposed to do with the states. it doesn't address the "RI is actually like 3 settlements in a trenchcoat" problem

I think we have to directly target low end simultaneously mostly because we just didn't building any fucking housing at all for like 30 years. There's just not much to filter down. And because our housing stock is on average like 150 years old there's often a mismatch of needs.

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]

I actually believe the exact opposite of today's discourse. ONLY transplants should be allowed to live in cities. If you were born in a city you should be physically ejected (using a novelty oversized catapult) at the age of 18. No I will not be taking any questions

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".
