Donald Trump: What watch he does, not what he offers



Trump wants to make America gay again — and he’s offering 20% off his rainbow T-shirt to prove it.  (New York Daily News, 5/24/2019)
The Trump Pride Tee is the only $30 t-shirt on his fashion line that is currently on sale, leaving to speculation that the discount could be an appreciative Pride-month-only deal. The Daily News reached out to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee for clarification but hasn’t heard back yet.

Then.  1981 aerial view, with cloverleaf intersection at top center and mall at lower left.   Now .  Mall still in business, though not the draw it used to be, and surrounded by satellite stores. Madison malls change with the times .  (Channel3000, 4/16/2018) Madison’s West Towne Mall opened in what had been a cow pasture in 1970, and its sister mall East Towne opened a year later. On the city’s near west side, the Hilldale Shopping Center opened in the early 1960s. The traditional model for successful shopping centers really didn’t change for the next 30 years.   It generally consisted of anchor stores, kiosks, long corridors of smaller retail stores, and a food court.“That's the format that was around in 1970, 1985, and 1998 and it's still around today,” says University of Wisconsin marketing lecturer and business consultant Moses Altsech, “but it's no surprise that it's not cutting it anymore.” Actually, for those of us who were there at the creation -- the l...

Autonomous flying pods: Transit X has lots of work to do yet

Image
Company proposes ‘flying solar pods’ as new public transit alternative in Madison .  (Madison.com, 6/3/2019) The planning board said it would continue to monitor Transit X's progress and might look at its proposal again when it has more evidence that the project is realistic. But for now, the city will keep its focus on developing Bus Rapid Transit.   "I would never say something’s not possible because it’s great to think about different ways of doing things, but just this particular model at this time is unproven," said Ald. Keith Furman, 19th District. "It just doesn’t seem realistic, unfortunately." As a follow-up to Alder Furman, I offer two screenshots from the above video. (red arrows added) How does the woman in a wheelchair access the pod?
