Yeah, have to be on your side here. “They can’t do anything else because of scheduling” is an interesting take. So these people have time to drive a car 9-10 hours a day, but can’t do a regular job? There are tons of low wage jobs available right now that require no skills, and you could probably name your schedule if…

There is plenty of good news in the world every day, if you chose to read it.

You make sense. I’m surprised people aren’t bashing you for stating the obvious. Saying an Uber driver could potentially do something else with their time usually invokes this bizarre tantrum from commenters. 

Agitating for the workers does not require internal consistency, comrade. 

1st Gear.

The right green though. Which for an Aston is not BRG. It’s Almond Green:

Maybe if you rode the bus, you wouldn't have turned into such an asshole adult.

I’m a teacher, and the excessive workload and being expected to meet the mental health and behavioral needs of students returning from 2 years of unstable schooling as a classroom teacher have me wanting to leave the job after a decade. I wouldn’t want to be a bus driver with my current salary, let alone what the…

This is not the first pandemic and we all know how this will go. S**t will hit the fan with this new variant and with the amount of people that still don’t want to get vacinated, expect for the amount of deaths to double.
I’m happy to see that many goverments have already learned their lesson and are taking this new…

Yeah I’m not sure far you’d be able to go before running into a significant weight penalty. My RV has 4 lithium batteries and they’re decently heavy but will run everything but the AC for 4 days (we have two solar panels that top them up during the day usually) having tested this on a cloudy rainy camping trip this…

Holy crap, that’s a horrible take. You’re going to blame the cops on this one? Save that narrative for situations where it applies. Slapping it on anything and everything just because you hate cops only makes you look ignorant.

Wait, what?

Data and history demonstrate that as the city leadership becomes more tolerant of petty crimes like fare jumping, general lawlessness other more serious crimes escalate and increase (theft, muggings, robbery, fights, gang activity/gunfire and murder and so on).

I don’t get why SNL is insisting on this loving homage to Trump. He lost the election, deplatformed everywhere but if you’re a MAGA who needs a hit you can just flip on SNL.

A few years ago the French had that in mind with taxation.

The problem with making public transportation free is that it becomes a mobile homeless shelter. Seattle used to have a fare free zone in downtown, and it was finally canceled because of of this. Same thing happened in San Francisco when then mayor Gavin Newsom wanted to make all public transportation free.

you have to thread the needle on setting fares. it has to be low enough to give people a cheap transportation alternative and, sad to say, high enough to keep the homeless off.  i don’t care how much money the government needs to spend on this, public transportation is one of the core things that government should…

You can buy a Tesla and not join the cult. It’s a car you drive. It has pluses and minuses. You can also mute Musk on Twitter.

“No other car company requires me to buy into its CEO’s cult of personality in this way.”

Nah, they’re just assholes.
