  1. That's why almost no one is saying abolish all of the above by fiat. Hell, even a car free city needs a transition period, but it starts with ending subsidies for cars like free parking and minimum parking requirements in new development (in core and core adjacent areas that are well served by transit and/or are walkable) and undoing racist zoning that keeps housing from being built in areas that most need it: high price, high demand areas, instead of pushing that development in minority/less affluent neighborhoods, causing gentrification. All while we prioritize humans over 2,000 lbs of steel and aluminum by making places safe to walk and bike to and through. And move from there. These things must be done, if not for future human health, then for current human health, safety, and economy.
  2. We're gonna spend many multiple of $ as a % of GDP for worse results in terms of covid suppression/case counts and economic recovery. The wealthy will make out like bandits though. The American way!
  3. I have it on good authority, from multiple viral conservative Facebook posts, that masks will in fact make you sick
  4. Just like the primaries! But Texas also does not have no excuse absentee ballots, and fear of covid is not a valid reason for an absentee ballot!
  5. I love civ 5 and have put over 1000 hours into it. Haven't really been able to dig into 6 that much though. Might get the switch version since it's so easy to play on that thing
  6. I wish I had just half of the job security as that of a conservative NYT columnist
  7. I mean not even loosely. If a business fails, shareholders and employees go down. If the government fails, we all feel the effects. The incentives and goals are wholly different too. They're nothing alike. Interpersonal relationships only matter in a company for a CEO depends on the board and a few other execs and customers and suppliers. not a 500+ member democratically elected chamber, and a cabinet and a judiciary. It's not the same!
  8. I just checked his Twitter account and today he was indoors at a sheriff's office and at a farmers market. Always without masks, not social distancing. Jesus these fucking people
  9. http://eyeonhousing.org/2019/03/homeownership-rates-by-race-and-ethnicity/ Hmm wonder why they'll help homeowners and not renters hmmmmmm
  10. You're an adult you should have seen that word before now
