@loganb @spokanerising Is it an ADA compliance issue? Retrofitting existing streets to meet requirements is insanely expensive. It's somewhere around $200000 per sidewalk mile to do
English
@spokanerising I don’t remember what the repaving numbers are like, but the sidewalk installation numbers are eye-popping. We’re getting something like a few hundred block faces with a significant chunk of a 10 year levy.
English
I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, because this is genuinely good for NYC.
But as a cautionary tale, Seattle started a “pothole rangers” service about 15 years ago and fills any pothole within ~48 hours of a request. Currently the City has no plan to ever pave another side street again, so they’re all slowly falling apart…
Paul E Williams@PEWilliams_
We now have an answer to the question of "is NYC just doing good social media posts about service delivery, or is service delivery actually changing?"

@DeAngel21069970 @jemelehill Hear me out... a black dude is blind folded part of a contest...a white woman with a mic is the lead and a white boy with a check is standing there and bam jokes on you and they start laughing could you imagine...the social impacts of this racism blah blah blahhhh

To do this to a fan that chose to come see a 17-win team is unhinged.

@discordspies I ride the train to work in downtown Portland twice a week and it's typically great. Once when I was 17 I saw a guy wipe his ass with Dairy Queen napkins while riding it to a basketball game. I do think about it every time lmao
English
It's so weird to hear Americans talk like this because I've been reliant on public transport my entire life and it's just Not Like That in the UK
Is it really that consistently bad or is this a thing where everyone has like one story that colours their whole experience

Between this, the longshoreman, and what I know about elevator construction, I’ve become more anti-union than I ever thought I would be.
Deva Hazarika@devahaz
About half of current NY government workers are already able to retire at 55 with full benefits after 30 years. This was changed to 63 after 2012. Unions went to roll back that change so everyone can retire at 55 and ALSO lower their pension contribution amounts.

@BHorbo1983 @ByGerrySullivan The point is that education is incredibly expensive compared to what previous generations paid. Tuitions have gone up 3-4x relative to inflation. Compounded with housing costs people in their 20s leave university and are immediately drowning financially if they don't have help
English
@oreagle_ @ByGerrySullivan 30 K is reasonable with loans but people who drop $150K to dorm and experience freedom made poor life choices.
Accept what you can afford
English
@BHorbo1983 @ByGerrySullivan I went to an in state public school, had about 50% tuition in scholarships along with parent help, part time working during school and full time in summer. Still graduated with ~30k debt. Thats what the cheap option looks like, there's no summer jobs that pay your tuition anymore
English
@ByGerrySullivan OR...hear me out, choose to stay home for college, great state education and pay less. But every college student feels entitled to dorm, get a meal plan, new laptop, and get it for ...cheap?

@nikicaga It's useless data, of course dems are less popular in 2024 than when Obama won Indiana and almost got ND, MO, and MT. I bet the chart is an exact opposite if you take GOP peak in 2002-2005 and compare to something like 2017-2020. Just doesn't mean anything
English
Tbh I think this is just a really bad poll, it has college educated women shifting like 15 points right when no other poll claims that
Stephen Moore@StephenMoore
Voters may not love Republicans, but increasingly, they fear Democrats. A new @YouGov deep dive shows support for Democrats slipping across almost every demographic. The AOC/Mamdani takeover is driving voters away!

@hnydrzlbaklava @byjoelanderson As I said “racist” is a bullshit word. Do I not want to be around a bunch of fucking criminals that contribute nothing and stand around crying about centuries ago with their hands out wanting something for free? No I don’t, if that’s racist then fuck it, guilty as charged.

Not only was Ivey being homophobic but don’t these dudes realize that the young brother is clearly in mental distress? This speaks so poorly of their supposed faith, that they can’t somehow distinguish it from presenting as mental illness smh.
Noah Weber@noahweber00
Daniel Gafford’s shirt said “faith isn’t for the weak” On what this means to him: “I didn’t even really see what it had said until you said something about it, but, I mean, faith isn’t for the weak because God gives his tests to his strongest soldiers. Most definitely, and I really can’t go deep into that, with the stuff that’s going on with the Ivey situation…We’re gonna keep it at that point.”
English
@JonnyRoot_ I support him being fired because he's a piece of shit dumbass
English
If you’re a Roman Catholic & you support Jaden Ivey being fired because he called your religion false, shame on you.
If you’re a member of the LGBTQ community & you support Jaden Ivey being fired because he doesn’t support Pride or gay marriage, shame on you.
If you’re a sports media member & you say Jaden Ivey is mentally ill, shame on you.
Jaden Ivey was fired for simply holding to historical, foundational, Biblical Christian beliefs. No one should be fired for that in the NBA or any other sports league.
If you support Ivey’s firing, the problem is actually with you, not him.

@rdgarcia03 Why do republicans hate when a republican acts like a republican?
English
For those who are just discovering the clown that is District Court Judge Nathan Milliron…
Last year he posted a rant on Facebook complaining that the Harris County GOP Chair hadn’t attended his investiture ceremony (even though he had spent the previous two years on Facebook threatening to sue her and the party).
I responded that he was being obnoxious and immature. He threatened a bench warrant (he later deleted the comment, but not before I screenshotted it).
English
@theshellbelle Poor excuse for a Judge. He may as well be a Democrat judge.
English
He treats everyone in his courtroom like they’re beneath him. Unacceptable behavior. Who would ever want this dude to decide their case when he has the emotional stability of a 13 year old?
Coby DuBose | DuBose Defense@DuBoseDefense
The judge seems to be making an identity out of public outbursts and displays of poor temperament. He’s proud of it, posting previously about this on Facebook.

@John32jr @MKnightRaytheon @nazzobetweeting Republicans in my very blue city did a weekly 'Trump flag wave' at strip mall parking lots every Saturday for like 3 years
English
@MKnightRaytheon @nazzobetweeting If the protest is about the economy Epstein scandals, why weren’t there any protests during Biden years?
Gas spiked to $5/gallon across the country at one point and Epstein was arrested in Trumps first time. Sorry, but it doesn’t feel authentic.

most americans are not anti-capitalists. in fact, most citizens of developed nations are not anti-capitalists. at some point you people need to recognize that you are part of a fringe group with an unpopular political position. we cannot keep coddling you. grow up.
Jaybefaunt🏳️🌈@Jaybefaunt
I think people having the drive to go to the No Kings protest is commendable however I think that "No Kings" is really just antiquated and dated. A protest with that name and that purpose would have worked and the early 1900s or 1800s. It should have been the No Capitalists protest and had a list of demands AND concrete consequences if those demands weren't met. Then those consequences will be carried out without hesitation. That would have been better.

@krazysmoocher @Pyre_the_first @LavenderGhast Holy cope. Without Brussels you would be from another former Soviet backwater, instead you get to be a tier 3 EU country. Still too broke for the eurozone, even after they let the Greece and Bulgaria in 😂

@oreagle_ @Pyre_the_first @LavenderGhast Can't leech off the the west when the west has nothing to offer

People straight out of collage who know the job market has basically abandoned them for cheap labour is joining the one organization still offering them viable, fast track careers and motivation to remove those who even people in government openly, gleefully say they want replacing them in the job market. It's a real mystery why so many young people sign up when elected officials say "who is going to do (so and so) jobs" they never say "our youth" because they've abandoned them.
Why is this always the playbook. Absolutely strangle young peoples opportunities, tell them they have no future, they have an entire planet and AI to contend with in local job markets and you do not care what happens to them as long as you get cheaper roofers. Don't even attempt offering them any viable solution to struggles you caused them and then when your enemy is the only one offering them one, you go "Heh, always knew the youth were fascists in waiting"
