@OrthodoxWario @big_pedestrian It is an issue because after all the road specific taxes we are still short hundreds of billions of dollars annually on road costs in the USA

Driving is one of the most subsidized activities in America. Every aspect of our transportation system—land use, built environment, energy policy, policies and laws—are designed to disguise the enormous risks, harms and costs of driving and pass them onto everyone but the driver.

In Washington D.C., taxpayers who don’t take the train or bus are increasingly subsidizing those who do, and it’s not sustainable. @DominicJPino explains why. 🔗 Read more: wapo.st/42nR9Ok

Remember me talking about my neighbor's dogs that keep pooping in our yard with zero care from the owner?
One of them just chased my 6yo daughter while she was playing outside and bit her arm.
15 minutes before by 9yo daughter's birthday party.
I'm not at the urgent care with my six year old and my wife is juggling a birthday party with 8 kids on her own.
This is the second child this dog has bitten. We have already contacted animal control and filed a report.
Is there anything else I should be doing?

@ParisMcQueen @SomaKazima2 So live somewhere where there isn’t parking in front of your house.
English
@SomaKazima2 Maybe I'm crazy but I completely understand why someone wouldn't like people sitting in a car parked in front of their house. It's not illegal but people do value their privacy.

That's how you deal with it though 😭😭😭 they get mad when you dgaf

I have observed Hamas conceal explosive charges in rooms, underground, in a washing machine and now between two floors in a building. The purpose, of course, was to ambush IDF troops who entered the building.

If communism was so great, Cuba would be the thriving envy of the world economically on its own. It wouldn’t need to leech off of capitalism.

“We’re keeping the Cuban people stuck in the 1960’s with no power, food, or oil and if you don’t support that then you’re pure evil!” ok bro

@jonkentcomrade Trump’s brain has been mush for at least 2 decades

Trump being old and dying doesn't negate the fact that Biden was old and his brain was turning to mush.

@bdomenech His parents were in a position to invest 245k and allow him to use their garage. He didn’t at all do it on his own

Jeff Bezos was born in Alberquerque to a 17 year old high school mom who divorced his alcoholic dad before Jeff was 2. He worked at McDonald's before his grades earned his way into Princeton. He started Amazon in a garage with a 245k investment from his parents.
That's reality.

@HistoryBoomer Business freedom is always at odds with individual freedom.
English
I dislike defending billionaires. They annoy me!
However
a) I believe in freedom, which includes the freedom to buy and sell for a profit.
b) I don't trust the government to decide how much $$ people can accumulate.
But I do support moderately heavier taxes on the wealthy.

You start a burger joint: Boomer Burgers. You hire 10 people to run it, and it makes money. Ok? You branch out and build 2 more joints. You make more money. You keep building new BBs. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands. At what point does the money you're making become "unearned"?

@kathy29983 @EYakoby Except for Israel constantly attacking and murdering them. Israel has been engaged in genocide since it was founded
English
@EYakoby If he's correct, then Hamas's war against Israel - not just Oct. 7/23, but all the rocket attacks on civilian areas before and since then - come far closer to being "genocide" than Israel's war against them.

John Brown understood that only way to free America from the scourge of white supremacy was to get rid of white supremacists by any means necessary.
He was right then.
He is right now.

If genocide is determined by intent rather than outcome, then October 7 was the clearest example of genocide in the 21st century.
