You’re not fit to be an elected representative.

To this day the white majorities of the south want to keep blacks subordinate to whites, and Jim Crow and lynch mobs are within living memory, but it’s ‘the regular folks of the south were victims too!’ No they weren’t.

Uh… wut.

This doesn’t make it any better. 250 years and the south remains the most delicate and oppressed tulip there is.

Oh no white people from a different part of the same country bought former slave plantations for something other than slave plantation-ing.

She completely lost her mind during Covid. It’s sad.

Cars are extension of the American self. Asking an American to pay a few dollars more per gallon or drive a few miles less or own a smaller vehicle is like asking them to have their genitals removed.

His staff surely looked into basic feasibility but they also surely didn’t look into multiple alternatives to chase the same purported goal of helping lower income NYers with grocery prices. How can you tell? There’s about 2 million NYers near or below the fed poverty line and

Lucky day I commute by bike because a car is wildly inefficient.

A sizable share of this website thinks “populist” is a compliment and not a scarlet letter.

and in order to avoid it you’d have to realign 100 miles in both directions. Your example is childish and stupid.

I ignored the second part because it’s just so stupid. You’re talking about permanently altering land use across hundreds of thousands of acres with no room for redo. The planning for such a thing does and should take time. You can’t “fix” something like accidentally aligning 20 miles on a fault
