Forever

A small rural village in Italy is offering homes for as little as $1.06 after the 2024 presidential election.

“Are you worned out by global politics? Looking to embrace a more balanced lifestyle while securing new opportunities? It’s time to start building your European escape in the stunning paradise of Sardinia,” the promotional website says.

The village of Ollolai on the island of Sardinia is working to increase their population size after decades of decline by attracting Americans seeking a new home.

I am worned out.

Taxpayers Thrown Under the Bus Again

Liberal Texas city Austin parks its 46 new e-buses due to inadequate charging infrastructure
Just the News | 11/19/24 | Kevin Killough

The Austin Monitor reports that 46 new electric buses – costing around $1 million each – will be in storage for at least a year due to lack of charging infrastructure to keep them running all day. The buses were manufactured by now-bankrupt Proterra, which has left city transit districts across the country with fleets of inoperable buses.

Proterra was acquired by Phoenix Motor Inc., which the Monitor reports is struggling to service warranties and repair technical issues.

The city’s transit board appropriated $255 million to buy 197 electric buses, some of which were manufactured by Minnesota-based New Flyer of America. In July, KUT News reported that Austin’s transit officials were beginning to realize that their ambitious e-bus plan was crumbling.
