@FinancialPhys Bullsh*t

Federal minimum wage needs to be $208.00 per hour to have the same spending power as a $1.60 per hour busboy had in July 1971

@yinyang_yo_ The idea of the Government using Property Taxes to control the masses is EVIL

"Property taxes will push grandma out her house!" The way the suburban model was supposed to work is that retirees sell their houses to downsize, and younger working professionals buy their house This was supposed to help drive support for the development of smaller houses

@CollinsWarRoom So economic growth and prosperity is bad? You want everyone to live in a shack

Byron Donalds has already sold out Florida to Big Tech Dems. The needs of Floridians are irrelevant to Byron. His only concerns are those of his donors. You’re a speed-bump in their way.

@myacatt51 @WSJ Funny because affirmative action is policy to increase representation and ensure equal opportunity for an allegedly discriminated group. Which is exactly what you are calling for.

@JbcTrader @WSJ I'm against affirmative action.

Student visas for Africa’s best and brightest were canceled by the Trump administration, leaving empty seats and broken dreams. “A punch to the heart,” said one woman who lost her scholarship. on.wsj.com/3Pwmprd

@AaronDeMayo @ACMRitz @Damianpardo8 The Metromover should be sold to the highest bidder. That way it could cater to what the people actually want.

Yep it can probably be cleaned more, and I think air conditioned stations is critical for the metro mover, in summer, when someone likely walked to the station and then will again from it, the station would offer respite. This would likely need to be paired with a rider fee to help cover build out and operations. Right now the mover blasts cold air and then the doors are open for 30+ seconds at a station and it all goes out.

We’ve received a lot of feedback on bike lanes in Downtown on NE 5th ST based on a story that ran on CBS. To be clear, we are not in favor of removing bike lanes. We are currently exploring how to make NE 5th ST safe for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers while together moving traffic more safely and efficiently. Part of that effort involves redesigning the street and bike lanes to include elevating the lanes and/or changing the infrastructure. The urban core represents a cluster with the highest incidence of cyclist fatalities and serious injuries in Miami Dade. And Miami Dade ranks first among similarly sized cities in the State and in the nation. We understand how important mobility options and connectivity are in the urban core and throughout our City, and as a cyclist myself, I witness firsthand the need to improve safety, cycling lanes, street design and traffic. On Northeast 5th Street, which is a major corridor and key route to the Port of Miami and the Fire Station, illegal parking in the bike lane has become a life threatening issue. When cars block the lane, it creates hazards for cyclists and pedestrians, and it contributes to congestion and gridlock for everyone. On weekends, cruise passengers carry their luggage across Biscayne Blvd to the Port. Miami Police have issued just under 100 citations in the past three months alone. Enforcement is not enough. We need structural changes. Our goal is simple: safer streets, better traffic flow, and mobility solutions that work for the neighborhood today and in the future. #safetyfirst @LSewardWCPO @CBSMiami @downtownMIA @CityofMiami @OmniCRA

@myacatt51 @WSJ Best and Brightest aren't needed when we have affirmative action for people who just happened to have been born here, right?

It's very touchy and nice to offer full ride scholarships to people in other countries, but there are many young Americans that are going into huge debt to attend college and some even give up all together because they can't afford it. Good deeds and propping up students should start at home. Those bright minds are probably going to do more good in their own countries. Taking away their brightest to never return is the kind of brain drain that keeps those nations falling behind. It's time to take care of those at home. Let the rest of the world figure it out on their own.

@AaronDeMayo @ACMRitz @Damianpardo8 Have you even ridden on the Metromover? How did you enjoy the smell of rancid sweat urine? Every few years I take the Metrorail and Metromover to remind myself why it sucks to be poor.

lol transit works all over the world in all types of climates. Who will use it are all the people looking for a simple commendation from their cruise terminal, to the 10th street station in Brickell to go to their reservation at citizen m, or the port employees who live in A&E district, or any of our other countless neighbors who prefer to live a car optional lifestyle, and the visitors who disembark and don’t have a car in Miami. This trope of fear mongering weather is a lame and inadequate response to the scale of the need for transit. August 2024, there was a County straw vote during the official elections, where nearly 80% of voters expressed support for mass transit. Miami dade has spoken. The traffic on the port is choking the roads all around Downtown, the Central business district. A solution is needed. Transit will also free road capacity for those who wish to use it.

@MetamateDaz Ever pay rent at one of those big malls? They literally take a percentage of your total sales

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour. A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29. Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

@SlopHq Only a partisan hack would say that those parking lots are empty 280 days a year. Stadiums all over the country hold events such as concerts, shows, conventions, trade shows along with other sporting events.

every baseball stadium built after 1990 is surrounded by forty acres of parking lot that sits empty 280 days a year and we call this "economic development." wrigley is in a neighborhood. fenway is in a neighborhood. the sport was better when the stadiums were to

@AaronDeMayo @ACMRitz @Damianpardo8 Who is going to carry luggage onto the Metro-Mover? Especially in the Summer Heat or doing the frequent heavy downpours?

Yes, a MetroMover extension to the port is the likely best option. I have drawn a potential high level alignment of that, although it would likely need additional stops, one for each terminal, and express service to each. This would directly connect the port of miami visitors with numerous hotels across the urban core, parking facilities (that are already used for port overflow parking), and the mterorail, tri-rail and brightline, it is a no-brainer. The only people I think would be opposed to a metromover extension to the Port would be the Taxis and rideshare companies.

@ABmrJutt Maxipads were introduced in 1969. For Thousands of years women lived their lives without them. Maxipads are a Luxury. Pay for them yourselves

I've had 452 menstrual cycles. That's at least $15,000 spent on maxi pads and ibuprofen. Women should get a tax deduction for this involuntary shit. Or get pads and tampons for free. Tired of my cramps being capitalized on.

@j_fishback And If I provide for my own security do I get my money back that was wasted on the police?

If you as a parent make the decision to homeschool your children, and your county spends $15,000 per student in public schools, you deserve the FULL $15,000 for your child.

@NickGarzilli @swyftcities That isn't disruptive. That is an info-mercial to suck up tax dollars

@JbcTrader @swyftcities I don’t think you understand this disruptive technology. Here is a keynote for to help. vimeo.com/1088813446

Totally agree. Miami lacks proper infrastructure. Working on bringing @swyftcities to Miami-Dade and beyond!

@charmreduction @danielsultan Nobody fucks with AI. You masturbate to it

@JbcTrader @danielsultan i don't fuck with ai dude

Would love to see developers build suburbia like this.

@charmreduction @danielsultan Is she real or AI?

@JbcTrader @danielsultan i'm in a long-term relationship and have two books coming out within the next two years. try again.

@NickGarzilli @swyftcities Half the time? You mean the time the government says you can travel. Plus you people never seem to count the time to travel from your home to where you can board the Bus/Train

@JbcTrader @swyftcities If they only have to drive less than 10miles a day, why not go over the traffic at half the cost and time?

@swyftcities @NickGarzilli If you can't afford $13k a year(You can spend much less) for a car then you have nobody to blame but yourself. I worked the summer of my 15th year to make money so I could buy a car when I got my license in my 16th Birthday. So stop bitching you wuss

@JbcTrader @NickGarzilli That's pre-tax. The average cost of owning a car is now $13,000 each year. Doesn't leave much for, oh, let's say housing, food, health care, kids And more importantly, why should everyone be required or essentially forced to pay $13,000 a year for a car? nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@LobselVith8 @AlbertoMedinaPR You do know that Puerto Ricans have Free Elections for their government right? Their energy grid is 100% Government owned and run. That "colony" excuse is a pathetic attempt to pass the blame onto others.

@JbcTrader @AlbertoMedinaPR Puerto Rico is one of the oldest colonies in the world, making your initial comment and your retort completely asinine.

Puerto Ricans know full well that blackouts are not just an inconvenience. They are deadly. The U.S. blockade is murder. currentaffairs.org/news/turn-the-…

@NickGarzilli @swyftcities The average income income for Americans aged 25–34 is approximately $58,500 to $59,800. That means over half of them make more than that. They can easily afford a car

@JbcTrader @swyftcities Ultimately, younger people can’t afford cars anymore.

@charmreduction @danielsultan Congratulations on your Chess accomplishments. While I enjoy the game my other interests, both business & pleasure, prevents me from dedicating much time to it. Perhaps you should expand your horizons. Who knows? Maybe one day you might even get to kiss a girl.

@JbcTrader @danielsultan because... you said so? lol, nah, i'll take my accomplishments (among them being in the to 0.5% of online chess players) over whatever nonsense you spout on here
