Too young to watch The Godfather, but I knew many of the iconic scenes from this source.

That was cool...

They cleared out all the old train cars and tracks. Is that going to be housing?

If you didn't read very carefully, you would perhaps not immediately realize that this district and its preacher puppeteer just got a major smackdown from a federal judge. Even if the local school board agrees with integrating evangelical teachings into their daily routines, they should fire this superintendent for allowing all this tomfoolery to happen and costing them tens of thousands of dollars in defending her obvious dereliction of duty. Shame on you Rhonda Roberts for wasting taxpayers' money on this instead of educating children! You should be out on your ear before school is back in session!

And, unlike in the United States, France’s triple-play packages include free telephone calls to anywhere in the world. Moreover, the French get faster Internet service: ten times faster for downloading information, and twenty times faster for uploading it. In Seoul, triple-play packages start at about fifteen dollars a month—yes, fifteen. In Zurich, otherwise a pretty expensive place to live, they start at thirty dollars. When it comes to stand-alone services, it’s a similar story. In Britain, for example, monthly cell-phone charges start at about fifteen dollars; unlimited broadband starts at about twenty-five dollars a month. And, if you buy a television that was built since 2008, you get access to Freeview, a digital television service that provides more than sixty television channels, about thirty radio channels, and about a dozen streaming Internet channels, all at no cost. Why are things so different, and so expensive, in the United States? There are various answers, but by far the most important ones are competition and competition policy. In countries like the U.K., regulators forced incumbent cable and telephone operators to lease their networks to competitors at cost, which enabled new providers to enter the market and brought down prices dramatically. The incumbents—the local versions of Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Verizon, and AT&T—didn’t like this policy at all, but the regulators held firm and forced them to accept genuine competition. “The prices were too high,” one of the regulators explained to the media writer Rick Karr. “There were huge barriers to entry.” ... That quote accurately describes the situation in the United States today, where vigorous competition is almost non-existent. In some big cities, broadband consumers have a choice between a cable operator, such as Comcast, and a telephone provider, such as Verizon. But that’s practically no choice at all. Although the cable and telephone companies spend huge sums of money on advertising trying to lure each others customers, they rarely compete on price. To use the economic jargon, they act as a cozy “duopoly,” keeping prices well above their costs. Many people, myself included, don’t even have two options to choose from.

Typically landlords may include shoveling in the lease but may not call it out specifically on a regular basis, so the students may just not have remembered. If those students cannot afford a $12 shovel split up three or four ways, then surely they cannot afford a city ticket for $100 or more.
