Banning police unions is a no brainer.
they're downright fucking evil, a hideous example of what a union should be doing. they protect the worst of the worst and keep the city and force paying for their bullshit. and they show no solidarity to other unions.
More successful people are fine, but those super, mega, ultra rich fucks who play the system to fuck the world for the rest of us, those fucks have to be taxed back into normality or get a visit from Luigi.
hope springs eternal.

muni is hella awesome too, it's a great example of how not kneecapping things in the early 1900s changes the equation.
I wish ST was better, but I have limited expectations moving here from a red state.
nice rundown!
fo sho if you're going to compare it to bart, which is like, 50 years of concerted civil engineering to the last two decades here in Seattle, it's gonna fall short. Bart's an impressive outlier in commitment to the problem.
You’re completely ignoring the part where not all jews are also zionists. Are you saying that you believe they are?
I am not and did not assert this. I called out a dogwhistle.
get fucked.
Korea but Cambodia
completely agree about cambodia, nixon's hideous bullshit there is still killing kids through unexploded ord. Korea?
I mean maybe I don't get your gist but we fought a long war there then pretty much occupied the place for the remainder.
the story of streetcars in the US is similarly depressing; in the 1900s most large cities had trolly systems.
the automobile companies fixed that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy
I don’t want self driving cars because I like driving.
transit options don't prevent you from driving. how is this an argument against, if anything it'd make congestion better for you.
it's taken a few decades but seattle finally has really good light rail. every 10 minutes. you can get from the airport to the other side of the city for $4. it's not perfect, and doesn't go everywhere, but holy hell is it a giant upgrade for living in town.
yup. every time I read about private jets flying to get food, or see a car speeding down the street doing 60 in a 25, revving their shit at lights, I think: how much are you robbing your children?
don't they love their own kids? how is our society literally burning - but people can't make the obvious connection?
I know we can't de-carbonize every source instantly, but the selfish pricks who burn it for fun need to be taxed at the very fucking least
I agree with you up till that bit. Vance is puppeted by Theil, we'll get a less musky and perhaps saner form of fascism.
not saying I look forward to either but if you're tired of the absolute stupid shit that trump says every day like I am, a change would be nice....
