White House: $8.2B for 10 major rail projects including US' first high-speed rail
  • TBH I think the best case scenario is auto manufacturers get into the train business. Sure it’d take a while but it makes sense from a mechanical and supply chain perspective.

    Not holding my breath on that one though…

  • www.mlive.com Michigan ends marijuana testing for some government job applicants

    Michigan has altered rules that previously barred all state workers from employment if they failed a preemployment drug screen for marijuana.

    Marijuana testing will remain in place for a large swath of government employees, including health workers, state police and Michigan Department of Corrections officers. But effective Oct. 1 eliminates the requirement for office staff and those applying for positions that don’t require driving, operation of heavy machinery or handling of hazardous materials.

    In settlement with critics, DTE Energy agrees to faster coal phase-out | Bridge Michigan
  • It’s going to be natural gas…. But I wish the answer was more solar. Natural gas is critical in the northern hemisphere for safety. Until there are significant investments for power storage from solar we are going to need gas.

    A new council tasked with reversing Michigan’s stagnant population got younger Thursday but remains significantly older than the state.

    The average age on the council now a ripe young age of 52. Something tells me these people don’t actually care to understand why younger generations are leaving.

    I support this initiative but having decrepit lawmakers decide what to invest in for the future seems like a joke.

  • I hate that this take seems like the conspiracy take but also is totally plausible. Just look to the example of the Arab spring and how instrumental social media was for organizing. By fragmenting all social media it’s a lot less likely you see a massive resistance if shit goes sideways.

    Looking for tire repair kit recommendations
  • I usually outfit my bikes with a bag under the seat which includes all tools for changing a flat and a spare tube if there’s room. Topeak makes a few that come with the tools included but if you have the tools there are plenty of small bags to choose from. Also, don’t forget a frame mounted hand pump (if you’re not using CO2).

    GM Wants Cars to Warn Other Vehicles of Imminent Collisions With Pedestrians
  • Why can’t we make safer streets for pedestrians? Narrowed intersections and priority walk signals would do more to save lives than this technology and it can be done today.
