We already have a system of non-universal basic income. It’s called "having wealthy parents." UBI just democratizes that privilege so everyone has the same base-level security to pursue their potential. It's no coincidence that entrepreneurs tend to come from wealthy families.

If you’re in your car in traffic and you see people moving smoothly on bikes in a protected bike-lane, or a full bus zooming past you in a bus-only lane, sure you could be mad at them for moving faster than you, or you could be someone who understands geometry and knows that providing mobility choices that take less space makes getting around cities better for EVERYONE.

In Chicago, you can get COVID-safe dental care with multilayered mitigation.
Staff test in advance. Respirators. HEPA. Far-UVC. These should be foundational practices in dentistry, among the most dangerous occupations for airborne infectious disease.

Getting ready for my appointment at #COVIDconscious dental day at Molar City Chicago! All staff and patients test in advance, staff mask in respirators, and all rooms have HEPA filtration and Far-UVC. Using my @readimask and breathing in through my nose! #yallmasking

it's 4am and i'm reading my city's zoning code and in residential zones you can have a detached garage but not a detached dwelling unit. your car can have its own building but your mother-in-law cannot. we have codified a legal hierarchy where vehicles outrank humans. i'm fine

Librarian jobs are *notoriously* difficult to get and almost always require extensive graduate work (like, masters degree barely minimum) to even be considered.
Paying them $55k is straight up poverty wages considering the amount of debt they take on to just get in the door.

A librarian makes 55k???

I love trees in dense neighborhoods but don't make homeowners responsible for their upkeep and fine them when they don't.
Trees provide a service for all beings in the city so let's have the city/county/state look after them.

Not density OR trees. Density AND trees. Better cities are climate action. #UrbanTruth Shared via the Urban Truth Collaborative. Check out our website. urbantruthcollective.com

I agree. Billionaires shouldn't exist.
Dr. Allison Wiltz@queenie4rmnola
Billionaires shouldn't exist in a society where people are starving and homeless. Their wealth is a sign of a society that has failed to allocate resources equitably. That's true no matter how likable or unlikeable they are

last minute staff revision for the minneapolis police training & wellness center - they are proposing taking less from traffic calming, and MORE from ADA ramp replacement!
disgusting to see crucial community needs like this bartered away in favor of shoveling more money at MPD

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. noted, “we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor — both Black and abroad.”

Remember, if you’re interested in what REALLY “drives” a lot of regional growth & infrastructure politics, it’s pretty much this.

Imagine telling a gay man at the height of the AIDS crisis that he’s a coward for not having sex without a condom. That’s what you sound like when you mock disabled people for masking during a pandemic.

the us has 1.3 billion parking spaces for 280 million registered vehicles which means there are roughly 74 parking spaces for every car. we paved the entire country so your honda civic could have options and you still circle the block at whole foods for ten minutes
