Could someone explain why this is called daylighting? I get what it means and this seems like a very smart thing to do if you want to make walking safer, but the term makes absolutely no sense at all. If even tried to look it up, it bothers me. The only thing that would make a bit of sense is that they mean the crosswalk is no longer in the shadow, but that seems quite a stretch too.

To be fair there is no credible source that this is true, there is only speculation since Starmer went to Washington, here is some sauce: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-commonwealth-offer-us-member-b2719470.html

a media outlet reported that King Charles III intends to extend an offer for the United States to join the Commonwealth of Nations.

The King is reportedly preparing to extend the offer of “associate membership” in the voluntary association of 56 nations, most of which have history as former British colonies. Trump, it seems, is open to the idea.

It’s not my comment but I figured. I wonder though about the original question; where do they draw the line. So no ads for airplanes and gas stations, obvious, but how about some plastic lunch box or a bus company? What about train tickets where a part of the trip is with a diesel train. Surely the city will not allow something that is questionable at some point.

No totally, they obviously would give some random with no influence 4 million lol, just adding that besides the amount there is also something to be said about the goal.

4 million would change my life and it’s not like I have a meaningful career either. For me the real deal-breaker would be that it would get microsoft a datacenter.

No I think it’s more a matter of revealing what was already there

Except the tumor also had more sense of humor and a better taste in music. Plus with the tumor comes economic stabilty a less extreme cost of living crisis and free healthcare affordable doctors.
