I cannot believe people were losing their jobs for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk and the president of the united states just went on tv and said "skill issue loser, RIP but I'm different"

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

What airport would air this video truly, like what was the thinking behind this?" Let's run a ad that makes our product look bad in our place of business.'

You ever just want to convert a historic mental facility where atrocities were committed in to a data center?(not that the haunted house is great but man.)

A plan to turn the old Pennhurst State School and Hospital grounds in East Vincent Township, Chester County, into a data center has drawn strong opposition from residents.

Plan to turn Pennhurst site into massive data center outrages neighbors

The pushback comes as both President Donald Trump and Gov. Josh Shapiro champion data center development.

I mean wasn't this the company that wanted to tunnel the NEC under philly in a straight line to make a station at the airport and by pass the city? or was that another crank company that has tried messing with amtrak before.

Holy moly lol. ya that would just never fly now even if it was safe and the only way to go about it. the pushback would be huge from traffic flows, to worries, to noise, to unsightly views, and gas main fears.

Ya like we just cant do that anymore for better or worse. They almost collapsed city hall and the masonic building during the CCCT trenching somehow, I'm sure we could do a better shoring job now but it will deff take longer if you could do it at all.

I'm not even sure we could ever build the CCCT again if we wanted to with how hard it would be to do what they did during the construction. like looking at the pics of when it was made that could never been done now, we can barely shut down a block of market street for a bit for a road repave.

I've mapped out most of the parking center city area even the garages and back alley parking areas just to fully show how much is there still missing some and some of it is just empty lots or bad land u se but 98% is parking. the garages hiding under everything adds alot.

Philly CCCC was a product of the large 1970s transit grants and loans the gov was just giving out at the time as well. Seems all bad thing lead back to the 80s.

amtrak is also just knocking down a ton of housing in Downingtown for its new station. I really dislike amtrak tbh. Not every station needs to be a flagship park and ride.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
