Musk’s robotaxi debut in Austin ain’t happenin’. I guess Elon paid off some Texas legislators to give him time: “Since last year, Musk has discussed launching the service in Austin this summer. For the last few months, he had indicated that it would happen in June, with the June 22nd date being officially shared last […]
– by New Deal democrat As promised yesterday, today let me take an extended look at the important leading sector of housing.

This report by the AHA is straight forward in what it presents. In fact, Angry Bear has presented information on rural hospitals as detailed by the CHQPR here, here, […]
