@ContraPoints He’s casting his enemies (probably Iran) as Genghis Khan, no?
English
@four_mmmm when you decide to be Genghis Khan you have to give up the good/evil distinction and admit it's just self/other

@Duderichy Yeah imagine if you got a criminal summons instead of a ticket for speeding. That’s what NYC was doing with bikes lol.

In America we only know four prices:
A gallon of gas
A gallon of milk
A dozen eggs
A pound of ground beef
ja3k@ja3k_
Idk why gas prices are so culturally salient in america. You could drive an hour a day and it probably comes to less than $3k/year. Is it because they put the price on billboards along the road?

Nuclear is the funniest thing wonks could have come up with to con laypeople about; truly excellent bit
vivian@vivian39_
nuclear energy is sitting right there. just sitting there. producing massive amounts of clean reliable power with a safety record better than literally every other energy source per kwh. and we're out here arguing about whether to put a solar panel on a parking garage. okay

$82,000 per year is close to tuition, room and board at a major university.

New York City spent 81,705 dollars per unsheltered homeless person last year. Six years ago it was 28,428 dollars. At that cost why not put them up at the Ritz?

I get comments all the time for being against public projects in NYC, as if I never want the city to improve, but this is the real reason something as basic as fixing an existing public park bathroom, with no difficult plumbing work involved runs into the millions due to graft
New York Post@nypost
So-called cheap and easy-to-build $3.5M toilets for NYC park are 4 years behind schedule - and counting trib.al/l77Wymp

i genuinely don’t understand what these people think we should do. like yeah the project has been mismanaged to hell and blown way past it’s budget, but now what? just leave all of the infrastructure that we have built and blown all the money on to just sit there and rot?

@OKnox @JerusalemDemsas Now this is class mobility. Starting as a farm worker and ascending to the Epstein class.

@LinkofSunshine This is why we need a party that represents the interests of the educated UMC. To resist slopulist impulses like this.

Two weeks ago I knew 6 people in Iranian politics and now it’s just down to one

@Lib_Development The G and IBX are further way at their closest point than any parallel pair of lines in Manhattan. If anything we need a few more parallel lines between the two.
English
Workshopping a take that this is Bad because it weakens the agglomeration effect
although then again the G already exists and it’s fine so what do i know
Benjamin Schneider@urbenschneider
The IBX, a proposed transit line linking Brooklyn and Queens, will have an impact far beyond the neighborhoods it travels through. As the NYC's first orbital transit line, the project will shift travel patterns across subway network.
English
@LinkofSunshine Somebody needs to look out for our interests. Why not the Dems? For too long politics has simply been the exercise of looting our pockets to create giveaways for favored groups. Corrupt unions, violent criminals, the idle non-working. It’s time for a change in America.
English
Great article. Democrats can and should not let themselves become a UMC-centric Trumpian economic party
We cannot afford to sacrifice sensible policy. An American decline just creates more populism in the long run
New Liberals 🇺🇦🇹🇼🇬🇱🌐@CNLiberalism
The cowards at the Atlantic changed the title from "Democrats Have a ‘Slopulism’ Problem", but @BudgetBen has a great new piece out today on the recent slopulist and shortsided tax proposals from Chris Van Hollen, Cory Booker, and other Democrats.
