Normally yes, but California zoning is the most ass-backwards and NIMBY for a state that wants to be progressive and depend solely on renewable or clean energy. The state really should be doing everything it can to increase housing density and parking minimums in every single place is stupid as shit, even as someone who currently lives in the burbs and relies much on his car. Edit: I see this has been covered ad nauseam, still a big win given how NIMBY California politicians and leaders have been even though they're ostensibly liberal.
But it'll kind of shock you to learn that a lot of these Union types have some weird bravado about aligning with Trump. It's some kind of fucked up machismo. Hey let's worship a guy who hates unions doesn't even want to pay people Fair wages and wants to get rid of your job.
When labor power was at its height you had all kinds of working class people working together to improve their collective positions. If there's going to be any kind of redistribution of labor power unfortunately it's going to involve alignment with scumbag bigots. But at least they'd be also agitating for something positive.
Can’t wait to be able to buy my new PlayStation with money I’ll save from paying a union. I’ll have a lot of time to play whenever they fire me without cause!
Even what is “self-inflicted at the city level” is the product of white flight, gerrymandering, school funding, etc.
So Biden is doing a Thursday prime time speech about democracy in Philly. Please follow that up on Friday with indictments pls k thx
I honestly don’t know, can a city like Jackson produce enough taxes to self fund projects like this? I’m guessing no, it’s probably more exacerbating problems being caused elsewhere
They get seats that have gone unsold at the time the flight boards so it’s literally like .05% increase in fuel as the cost, but sure. It’s not like delta is being nice and handing every employee a $10,000 annual flight gift card. ftr this is not a pro-delta or corporate post in any way
I know, have even had friends get stuck overnight in places because they got bumped or flights delayed.
I know lots of union workers, the scarcity mindset AOC talked about in that post DBL shared is spot on - they truly believe they’re the last survivors of the middle/working class bc they’re the last ones willing to do hard work. Not bc corporations gutted the middle class for decades.
I know there are terrible people in Congress, but she needs to make a top five list. I guess she was wrong.
Most of my friends pay no attention to what’s going on in the USA. When I tell them the shit I read daily in these threads most shake their heads in disbelief. Every couple of days a new low for stupidity emerges. It’s fascinating and sad all at once.
The idea these fuck spout about "only paying taxes on what you use" is by far the dumbest shit I've ever heard
MILWAUKEE-Asked restaurant host: "God, did you hear about Robin Williams?" Host: "No." Me: "Died. He killed himself." Thought he would cry.
if we're rooting for the deep state to bag Trump, can they get this heinous shithead on corruption or something?
I hope Fetterman becomes the first senator with walk out music to the floor. We’ve seen pols are relatively immune from the law. I’d love to see some threats/battery toward Lindsey, Ted, Hawley, Rubio, RonJon. They’d collectively piss their pants.
I thought we’d established that the loan forgiveness has nothing to do with someone else paying taxes. It’s like believing that the revenue from my taxes are actually used to build roads or pay salaries of government workers or fund programs like student loan forgiveness.
Hey buddy, adequate min setbacks can provide areas for planting of shade trees over the street reducing the heat island effect.
Fetterman in basketball shorts and a hoodie calling Cruz a sniveling bitch from the dais and then offering his time back to the speaker is my fetish baby
