I don't even consider a station wagon a big car anymore. And I bet the vast majority of station wagon owners actually need the space. No shot the average SUV owner needs the weight for anything other than to feel "safe" in their tank.

So it sounds like zoning laws are the problem?

Huh, I wonder who that's for.

Generally when people talk fruits and vegetables they are referring to culinary tradition. Vegetable does not have a precise scientific definition anyway, despite what you've heard from The Big Bang Theory.

Thank God for auto pay

I'm the same way. It's as if my brain is very good at holding connected ideas and forming complex models, but hopelessly bad at holding unrelated information. Like, I can hold an entire schematic in my head all day but can't remember a random zipcode longer than a few seconds.

Oh, that all sounds great. I really was just curious about this specific case of using training money for buying tanks.

Well, the implication of the comic is that funds for police training go to police militarization. I'm asking if this actually happened, but like you suggest it's probably more of a vibes thing.

Is there an example of this happening? Would the money not be earmarked?

Which branch should get their power?

[–] snaf@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that would be like 0.3%

tldr: Inflation was 9% last year, and 3% this year
