@FreeStackWriter @grok @acnewsitics It is fascinating to watch a MAGA read a tweet, use AI to fact check it, read that response, yet somehow alter that response inside their head to mean the complete opposite of what Grok stated.

@grok @acnewsitics In other wires this is an opinion piece by a far left rag

@Mr_Kustom How gullible could you possible be? You’re literally the guy believing anything he reads in the internet.

That's great. Send the really toxic crap to some other place.
There should always be a plan for anything new on how is it going to be disposed of when it wears out and sending our garbage to India isn't a plan.

After 15 yrs, solar panels no longer efficient & must be disposed. But this trash is highly toxic ➡️ poses major enviro & health risks. Solar panel waste is 300x more harmful than nuke waste. Often solar waste sent to poorer nations for disposal. This is considered sustainable?

This guy has the best points on this subject.

I’m chock full of ideas for a new political party if @JohnMorganESQ wants to offer something better than tweaks to the Rs and Ds’ platforms
English
FPTP→RCV
Campaign finance reform
Independent redistricting commissions
Ad valorem→LVT
Sales taxes→VAT
Corporate tax ↓
Highway congestion pricing
Complete streets
Gas tax→VMT tax
Euclidean zoning→Form-based codes
Universal healthcare

I am forming a new political party for those of us stuck in the middle. Our two party system is broken due to Gerrymandering and divisive issues… both sides. No labels is not an option. Everyone wants a team or tribe. Ron Myers is my lawyer drafting the paperwork. Stay tuned. #ForThePeople

@CMXCinemas I’m guessing our CMX in Downtown Orlando is closed since the website has no showtimes and if you call they say “these are showtimes for today, February 24…”

Who's ready to join Moana and Maui on their next big adventure? 🌊 ✨

After more than a decade of advocating for safer streets in Orlando, I’ve stopped being shocked at people like @byRyanGillespie victim blaming and completely missing the true underlying cause of our dangerous roadways orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/17/can…

For 10 years I’ve been arguing Central Florida’s leaders need to incentivize the development of as much housing as possible to keep prices affordable
Our local Democrats haven’t listened and just sat idly by while housing prices have jumped through the roof

The Austin, TX rental market is collapsing before our eyes. With the median apartment rent dropping 15% over the last 2+ years. The vacancies have skyrocketed. Rental concessions are everywhere. Rents are now only 9.8% higher than pre-pandemic. Meaning that many Austin landlords are losing money, as property taxes, insurance, and interest costs are way higher. (This is a harsh lesson on the boom/bust cycle in real estate for many developers and investors who bought into Austin during the boom. Read more below to see how this happened.)

Which theme park in central Florida do you think is the best to just take a walk in; and not do any rides or shows?
English
@jewstein3000 So says the ostrich with its head in the sand. You’re an unserious person who doesn’t care about people or facts.
English
I mean what other kind of movement can so easily get away with putting “affordable” and “free market” next to each other?
Jason Aslyn@Jason_Aslyn
@jewstein3000 your gut instincts make you fight to prevent any free market housing from being built, even though free market housing is exactly what has kept so many cities affordable nextcity.org/daily/entry/ja…

UPDATE: We shut down the luncheon honoring fracking enthusiast @mattyglesias. A third-rate "thought leader," this Harvard half-wit is ready and willing to incinerate his own child in the name of being "provocative." 🧵

@nisfrome @Augustus__J @YIMBYLAND My argument is that you’re going to build intrinsic value in your home by diversifying and elevating the community you’re in. Adding new housing, especially of non-SFH types, is going to prevent a supply issue from creating a housing bubble (which, long term, isn’t good for you)
English
@nisfrome @Augustus__J @YIMBYLAND It reality, a YIMBY utopia will never occur. It’s a counter to a pendulum that’s been pulled entirely in one direction
The practical reality is going to be scenarios like $400k townhouses and a handful of $1800 apartments in neighborhoods of otherwise only $800k houses

@Supreme____Beef Over the course of nearly a century now, the federal and state and local governments social engineered Americans into car dependency
“They social engineered us so well we shouldn’t ever push back” is just an argument of the defeated
English
@tylernewcomb_ Based on the min. wage for theme park workers here right now, it would be about 2.5% of your daily earnings to take public transportation to work and back
On average, Americans spend 16% of income on transportation. Free fares isn’t solving a real problem. It’s defunding transit
English
@samwell224 Exactly. How many free fares would it take to make up for losing your job because the bus never came and you missed work?
English
Public transit is already one of the cheapest ways to get around (have you seen cost of car ownership!?) and programs for reduced fares exist and should be expanded if you qualify.
But free transit doesn’t solve the biggest problems with transit that riders actually have.
English
@tylernewcomb_ Time is money — even when you’re poor. I cannot imagine the costs parents incur for childcare just to cover their travel times
In the Orlando area, some theme park workers spend HOURS commuting by bus. That’s a huge cost to them that has nothing to do with fares
English
@tylernewcomb_ I would absolutely rather pay $2 for a frequent bus going quickly to my destination than ride a free bus that comes once an hour and sits in traffic
English
@WSAZnews @wvdemocrats New to public records refusals? You’re going to need to file a lawsuit and you should already be in that process
It’s one of those expenses of running a newspaper that covers a shady government
