He goes into it in the video, but the Las vegas monorail runs to many of the same locations, is cash positive, and is the 13th most used mass transit system in the US.

The issue in Vegas is that mass transit doesn't fit a "luxury" experience that every bit of vegas is trying to sell you to fleece your pockets. The loop, especially the "new" stops that are literally benches outside of hotels with no tunnels, don't either, but the "private chauffeur" pitch of the Tesla tunnels at least fit the grift.

Fema, after announcing that, revoked it after backlash and claimed it was never an "official" directive, even though it was offically announced by Fema.

Absolute clown car, but probably good enough for the conservatives to fall back in line entirely.

Home ownership is a public record.

"Blackrock" isn't gonna give you much info to work with, unless you want to burn down the houses they own. Unfortunately, lots of innocent people live in them, so that isn't a good answer there either.

"Incorrect claims," i.e "lies."

Another comparison is that a "standard" US reactor will output 1GW of power at steady state.

This data center would require 7000 nuclear reactors, just for it. The US current has 98 active reactors.

We are a ways away.

2-3x more expensive, but they normally pay off in about 5 years.

Most of the murderers were not wearing them at all. Only 3-4 of them were wearing them, and they didn't activate them. The evidence of their cold blooded murder in the hospital was from automatic recordings.

The Times Union first reported in December that the body cameras worn by those four correction officers were passively recording portions of the incident even though their devices had not been activated to record. Investigators were able to retrieve the video footage from those four devices because of a function on the Axon cameras — unknown to the officers — that recorded video when the devices were turned on even if they had not been activated. 

The body cameras did not catch the 2 other times they beat the victim in the ingress area and just outside of the hospital that some of the murderers later admitted to.

What did Brooks do to piss these guys off? According to the special prosecutor, Nothing. Literally nothing:

Our investigation further revealed that there was no provocation by Robert Brooks that would have precipitated any physical response whatsoever, never mind the physical response that was inflicted upon him,” Fitzpatrick said. “The fact of the matter is, he did absolutely nothing.”

I was really surprised at good writing still coming from vice. Makes sense now that it was from 2020, and from one of the 404 founders.

Foo fighter's cover of Prince's "darling nicky" comes to mind. Totally different animals, both amazing.
