There never has been (and probably never will be again) a period of tangible societal change so great as being born in the late 1800s and dying mid 20th century.

It always blows my mind that the German architect Walter Gropius who co-designed the (then) PanAm Building in New York was born in 1883. He was 20 when the Wright brothers did their first flight, 25 when Model T was first produced... And somehow drew this.

@katieporterca Single payer for citizens, not for day one immigrants
English
I’ve been pushing for single-payer healthcare since I first ran for Congress. That fight won’t stop when I’m governor. We’re long overdue for a healthcare system that works for working Californians.

When was the last time a White parent was charged for something his child did.
They be giving their kids gun and face no consequences.
This country is so evil.

@katieporterca People have been throwing money at the homeless situation for decades...I know none of you "leaders" like hearing it but the answer is "leadership" where you actually organize your society around a shared goal and throw all of your skills and humanity at it
...not money
English
Emergency cash assistance is the best, cheapest way to prevent homelessness. Californians know what they need to do to make ends meet for their families. It’s our job to help them do it.

@RonFilipkowski If the President can't be prosecuted while in office, why is he allowed to sue anyone and everyone while in office? 🤔

@gotrice2024 There should be a family section on the plane so when you select your seat you know exactly what you're in for
English
Imagine going on an 8 hour flight, you are relaxed, ready to try to catch some sleep before your destination. Then this ear piercing scream permeates the silence, followed by a child running around, climbing on seats, knocking things over. Besides offering adults only flights, should families of unruly children be kicked off of the plane? How would you handle this?

@SomeWelder Absolutely zero of your health insurance premiums pay for any of those things, zero! Your private insurance company is gouging you, be mad at them
English
My health insurance just went up another 500 a month for the missus and me, $39,733.00 now for the year.
Fuck your snap, fuck your EBT and Fuck your Obamacare subsidies.
I wasn't put on this earth to pay your fucking bills.

@YIMBYLAND The chains had only been there since the 90s. Not even 35 years old!
English
This would actually radicalize me.
This is cultural decline.
David Perell@david_perell
I grew up in San Francisco, walking with my family by the Golden Gate Bridge. I still remember the thick and iconic chain railing that gave the place a sense of distinctiveness. Now the chains are gone, and they've been replaced by a soulless metal railing that's colder than a hospital waiting room. I'm sure some bureaucrat somewhere justified it with a tidy spreadsheet, but they stripped away a little piece of San Francisco's soul in the process. This is how a culture loses its charm: slowly, quietly... one small decision at a time.

@TaupeAvenger @alfred_twu A train will still require a significant investment of a billion or more
English
@alfred_twu The more I think about it, the more I think that splitting the traffic between 80-580-101 and 12-121 is a lot cheaper and a good transit mitigation would be to improve transit between Richmond, Vallejo and San Rafael.
English
Highway 37 project is estimated to cost up to $11.4 billion. It's a set of three very long bridges (sections 2, 4, 7, and 8 are all elevated, section 7 alone is longer than the Bay Bridge). Cost per daily roundtrip driver is almost half a million dollars. 👀
English
@alfred_twu What other alternatives are there to get from Sacramento to Santa Rosa and the rest of CA North of the bay?
English
The only reason this bridge project has made it this far is that unusually, the no-build alternative isn't just keeping things the way they are. Sea level rise gives the existing highway about 20 years before it closes.
Similar issue will come up for highways 80 and 101

@redjenzen @alfred_twu Train tracks will be under water here also, and they already exist
English
@alfred_twu "Mother nature finds a way", and its a good thing. The future has less car travel in store for us. Let the damn thing sink, and focus on trains, buses, and bikes.

@SethAbramson Almost as if Harris was the wrong candidate and Democrats should have had an open primary instead of a forced choice
English
2/ He isn’t just winning. At present this is shaping up to be a landslide. This is not Harris doing as Biden did. This is not Harris doing as Clinton did. This is Harris losing Texas by 15, Florida by 13, Iowa by 14, Ohio by 11...
This is Trump *wildly* outperforming all polls.

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret.
I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.
English
It is the job of a candidate to get voters to vote for them. I swear democrats always blame everyone except their candidate. Fucking groundhogs day ass political party.
English
Astonishing. One bus an hour across the Richmond San Rafael bridge. It is easier to construct a third lane than to get AC transit to play nice with GG transit.
Bay Area Council@BayAreaCouncil
Astonishing. Former @MTCBATA Vice Chair pitting one mode of transit against another. 80% of commuters drive automobiles. That's your target. Unreal
