I still think it's nuts that you can sit one test and get a driver's license at 18, and never have to prove that you have kept up with changing road rules for the rest of your life. Not even a "hey, now that you're renewing your license, here are the laws that changed in the last ten years".

My new hobby is hate reading pattern reviews: the fit was bad & sizing wrong. Instruction were unclear & the darts poorly drafted. Can't wait to make my 4th version to see if I can get it right cause the design is pretty! 4 1/2 stars. 1/2 star off cause the print at home file was borked.

Kars4Kids ads make it sound like your car donations helped children in need. A California judge just BANNED the ads across the state because thatās a lie. Donations actually fund Orthodox Jewish indoctrination programs and matchmaking services.

The real answer--as adopted by progressive advocates around the country, and electeds from Pritzker to Johnson to Mamdani--is that getting rid of regulations that require million-dollar mansions and investing in affordable housing are complementary policies, not at odds with each other.
