Pedestrian fatalities have increased a staggering 53 percent in the last decade, so are people 53% drunker? No?

People live in cities. They might actually want to walk or bike around the cities in which they live, work, and pay taxes. We don’t allow people to land planes or helicopters in crowded city centers - we have specific places for that. But somehow, all cities and suburbs are designed in such a way that the default use…

I’m already putting money aside for the “Will you shut up, man.” statue I want placed in front of Trump Tower

It’s worse than this. We have a shovel ready $15B project (Gateway tunnel) here in the NYC area that would put thousands to work and be an amazing investment in the long term economy of the Northeast and the country overall. But the fucking baby in the White House won’t approve it because NY and NJ were mean to him. I…

Absolutely. Every dollar the government spends or chooses not to spend implements a policy decision, even if it was made with tactical rather than strategic reasoning and perspective. Same for every tax and, as has been much in the news for a day or so now, tax loophole.

We put plenty of money into job programs, trillions in fact, but only for jobs that require holding a gun.

Don’t be so naive about government’s role in capitalism. Here’s a few examples of how government stokes the fires of market enterprise:

Sounds like an opportunity for a jobs program. Too bad we don’t have a bunch of people laying around that could help out with that or trillions in economic stimulus in the pipeline. In the mean time, we better put more pressure on that TikTok fellow and make sure mail-in voting (in targeted communities) gets abolished.

Both the English and German versions of that sentence sound like they came out of a Rammstein album.

4TH: Only the friggin’ Gerrys could combine an extremely forward and progressive pro-labor movements with the most metal slogan ever.

Neutral: That’s a loaded question. When federal, state and local entities can provide the infrastructure to homologate, buy, license, charge and maintain electric vehicles, young consumers with limited resources will be able to buy them and that market will flourish.

I disagree. John’s right in his approach because too many people think that they can just vote this type of institutional corruption out and be done with it. It’s been there no matter what party was voted for... It’s not going to end with the election of Joe Biden and it damn sure ain’t ending under another Trump…

It's a horrifying mask. Absolutely horrifying. And that is exactly why I used that picture.

Hinch’s “picture of my face as my facemask” is terrifying. Are we sure he’s not secretly a serial killer?

It’s predictably not-great, but it could be a fuck of a lot worse. As low a bar as it is, I consider this progress. We won’t truly be there though until “trans person, who is trans, does a thing, and also they are trans” is no longer a newsworthy event.

The discussion here is pretty bizarre (in a predictable sort of way). I believe the only appropriate response is “YAY!”

Hopefully, it opens the door for more trans people who want to pursue the sport, from an inclusion standpoint. And, hey, maybe someday, we won’t be so concerned with someone’s assigned gender at birth--even if they don’t strictly present as one gender--and trans people won’t be so ostracized.

As a transwoman who loves car, this makes me happy to see that we don’t have to give up on something that is traditionally seen as a masculine.

Honestly? Nothing. It’s more the fact that people who are trans rarely have an opportunity to look at a major sport and see someone like themselves represented. There is zero advantage, so the argument that there is an non-level playing field as a result of her inclusion is out the window.
