Pros: Every street is a pedestrian area when there are barely any cars.
Cons: Train station bakeries open way after the first train leaves.
Obama:
"When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act,
that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Doea anyone know of any organizations in the greater Seattle area working to eliminate, or at least oppose the further proliferation of, unnecessary urban lighting? One of my favorite places to go in the city at night is now full of street lights. The whole reason I loved it is that it was *dark* and you could look out across the water without glare everywhere.

You do not vote syndicalist, you organize syndicalist, so treating it like an election choice in Kaiserreich is fundamentally silly.
Because of that, I’m buying myself Hearts of Iron IV just to install Kaiserreich and laugh at it.
