Busy day link round-up

I have some free time coming up next Friday, but until then, there's a lot going on. So I have very little time to read, let alone write about, these stories from this week:

• Bans on interstate alcohol sales are hurting retailers. Funny how the wholesalers are the ones demanding it.
• Cranky Flyer sent a reporter on United's 747 farewell flight. Not many airlines still operate the airplane. Tant pis.
• Jeet Heer calls out how white supremacy underscores President Trump's foreign policy.
• Dana Milbank goggles at Donald Trump, Jr.'s, incredible stupidity.
• Google Maps has a new look.
• A downstate Illinois firm lost a $250m rail car contract after failing to deliver usable rail cars, and also laying off 90% of its workforce. Good thing the state gave the company lots of incentives.

Back to project planning...
