@Saltyseabee76 @ComeHometoRome @MLJK87 No, it's because the printing press didn't exist, and most people were illiterate (exactly because books were so expensive back then). I'll invent a sect of Christianity that requires a smartphone, you just gave me that idea.

I was assured Catholic don’t read Scriptures. I never went to a Protestant service that read this much on one Sunday.

Don't forget that Pope Leo XIII (who Pope Leo XIV is mostly named after) also wrote Testem benevolentiae nostrae, against Americanism.

@crop_duster69 @mnolangray Rail reduces deficits. Thought exercise: remove all subway from New York. It stops being the most important city in the world overnight.

@CandiceLen @mnolangray We do. They take you from tarmac to tarmac. They are fantastic for the longer part of 500+ mile trips, and have been one of the best inventions in the entire human history. Trains take you from downtown to downtown, and HSR is faster than planes up to 500 miles.

@mnolangray Yes. Cross-country HSR makes no sense, but Boston, New York, Philly, DC, should have the Acela improved, and expanded west to Pittsburgh and Chicago, and south to Durham, Charlotte and Atlanta.

"Péter Magyar" is an almost too-perfect Hungarian name. It'd be like a guy named "Johnny America" running for President of the United States.

@sp6runderrated I'm not disagreeing, but even 0 property taxes is better than prop 13. At least it doesn't punish people for moving. This awful idea is still better than California's status quo...

Eliminating property taxes will turn the US into UK 2. It would cripple the American Dream since every property owner will turn into a mega-nimby. The only places housing will be allowed are places no one wants to live.

🚨 DONALD TRUMP DEMANDS ‘NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!’ You can’t hate this! President Trump launches national revolution to abolish property taxes which would result in the most powerful economic expansion in U.S. history.

I suspect that for the typical American, the reasons are: visible public disorder spooks people, our streets are much less safe (reckless drivers, crime) than other developed countries, and big city public services (schools, police, parks) are worse than in the suburbs.

Americans… this is a good faith question. I’m not baiting or trolling. Why are you so scared of condos and walkable cities? Does not having to drive for your groceries freak you out? What about it makes you uncomfortable? Please be honest.

It really comes down to whether or not you have kids. Not in terms of being scared … but if you want to send your kids to a “good” school it’s very expensive in any City that is actually walkable Either to buy a house in certain school catchments or to pay for private school

@marctorrence Sometimes I did that in Rio (half the distance, though). Bur I agree that you can only do that in a real city, of which America's got only one, maybe two.

@elonmusk The Mississippi basin waters are full of lithium. If you find a way to clean the waters and use it for batteries, it's a win-win.

New Orleans' famous Cafe Du Monde being open since 1862 is fascinating because the city was actively being captured by Union forces and some guy said "This is a perfect time to open my coffee & beignet stand"

@dilanesper Some places explicitly state that service animals are welcome but that does not include emotional support animals

I generally like dogs in public places as long as owners clean up after them. But where I think the abuse occurs is with "emotional support animals" in places where dogs are not allowed. Trump and Biden both tried to stop the abuse of that on airplanes, but people still do it.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

I think that dog owners should follow the law and also basic moral precepts like “don’t lie for selfish personal gain” and the extent to which members of the dog community have convinced themselves that this is okay is distressing.

@TheCatholicEngr Homemade or store bought naan? I used to buy the latter, but they use a drop of ghee and a boatload of seed oils.

@big_pedestrian @SFBART @Scott_Wiener That's the only profitable way to run mass transit. It's expensive to build and operate and you can't put all costs into fees, but the positive externalities are huge, and it's definitely highly profitable if you can capture those.

We need an amendment to California law that allows transit to use the land around its stations to fund transit *at its most productive $$$ use*. Rather than passing the hat every few years, we could have self-funding, robust, frequent, clean, safe transit. @SFBART @Scott_Wiener
Sukrit Ganesh 🇺🇸 🥑 🚲🛩️@SukritGanesh

Meanwhile, most BART stations are surrounded by low-density development, with severe NIMBY opposition to even 6 story buildings on the station's land itself, and insane affordability mandates means these projects require public funds rather than generate revenue for BART.

I know a woman whose son was horrifically injured in a fall and now needs full time care. If he was institution it would cost much more for much worse outcomes. Instead, he is loved, safe and home. This is a very good use of funds.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo

EXCLUSIVE: California spends $30 billion per year paying 800,000 people to cook, clean, shop, and watch television with family members and others. This "in-home care" program operates mostly on the honor system—and loses $6 to $12 billion a year to fraud. city-journal.org/article/califo…
