If you’re an oligarch, this makes a lot of sense

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

[Derek @42derek42]

@aphysicist People need meaning and we, the government, should pay people to do things that help others and bring meaning for themselves. Any conversation about UBI without addressing this first has already failed

[Derek @42derek42]

@aphysicist If robots makes all things commodities, let’s not pretend like it’s going to be tomorrow; it’s going to be a long time so let’s not mess up the money supply in the meantime

@the_transit_guy When nimbys & city staff scared of nimbys push back against developers, the result is always a compromise to slash high density with low density, i.e suburban sprawl, which is the worse possible outcome for everyone aka city people/rural people/families/farmers/developers/nimbys

[Derek @42derek42]

@AndrewYang Office space will get filled, but at a much lower valuation filling space with lower rent. Overtime, the lack of construction of new office will stabilize the supply

Class A space in tier 1 cities will do ok but others may struggle

"We build our American cities around fire trucks…

…We should design our cities, then make the fire trucks fit."

In America, we have the largest fire trucks in the world—
and they’re quietly shaping how our cities look, feel, and function.

In this clip with @AustinTunnell , we break down how one overlooked policy is leading to worse urban design.

@LeeHepner Repealing prop 13 would help

To me it seemed like it didn’t flow with her character being a oppressive government official that represented decades of avoiding clear science only to try to wing it and fix the crisis at the last possible moment.. but great performance of the song

[Elfa Carioca - Comentando e reclamando @ElfaCarioca]

Sign of the Times no Project Hail Mary foi um "acidente". E é por isso que quebra o coração de quem tá assistindo. A atriz Sandra Hüller estava procurando numa playlist de "músicas de despedida" algo pra cena. Escolheu Sign of the Times sem nem perceber que a letra falava de espaço.

Os atores no set não sabiam que ela ia cantar. As reações que você vê na tela são reais. Ryan Gosling falou que a música é realmente o coração do filme, uma música escrita sobre uma mãe morrendo no parto, usada como despedida antes de alguém ir salvar a humanidade sozinho no espaço. A música que a gente não sabia que precisava ouvir pra acreditar que ainda dá tempo de salvar tudo.

Every 1000 starts, a horse dies

Yet the culture of tradition causes people to turn their cheek, plausible deniability

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Yesterday a horse broke its back during a race. It was whipped and forced to finish, then it was killed.

The arrogant and self-righteous characters in this debate are those who think that's fine if they get to have some fun and flutter watching.

[Derek @42derek42]

The future of advertising for independent small contractors is by showing consumers what your work product is by quick form video. You see it now, but it will 10x, and eventually become the baseline

[Derek @42derek42]

Anything longer than an hour becomes a trip rather than a daily commute, and ridership goes down

$’s would go farther

But since the money is allocated & 90% of planning is done, just keep building because it’s better than abandoning the project

[Derek @42derek42]

Long term state rail will work,

but they should of focused on 4 metropolitans

with a 1 hr high speed ride branched out in several directions

it’s better for worker commuters and helps strengthen neighborhoods and brings affordable housing

LA, SD, SF, Sac

[Chris 🦝 (READ BIO!!) @TrashPanda08x]

The goal of California High Speed Rail is to be a state wide rail network that connects almost every major CA city together.

Subsidizing free flights instead makes 0 sense here lmao

[Mayor Matt Mahan @MattMahanSJ]

Day 1 of trying to convince my social team that voters care about policy.

@Layemie001 If you’re going to spend the money with that extra framing and header, just make a bigger window

[Swyft Cities🚡 @swyftcities]

Mexico City is adding a 3rd & 4th urban gondola lines which will expand it to more than 40 stations. Like Paris, Mexico City has shown that urban gondolas can be fast, cost-effective urban transit.

[Derek @42derek42]

People are wrong on this one - it’s a hazardous lake you can’t swim in and dogs die when they drink the water

Private and public money are needed to restore it

Now 20 more years will go keeping it as a sewage health hazard

$ incentives are needed to fix it

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

A private company created a plan to dredge Utah Lake and build massive artificial islands for luxury real estate

“They did not want to pay for it themselves. Instead, they applied for a $1 billion federal loan from the EPA.

To help secure that massive loan, a local mayor secretly wrote a letter to the EPA pledging $5 million in public tax money to support the developer. She sent this letter behind closed doors, without ever notifying her own city council or letting the public vote”

“The state eventually stepped in, ruled the project unconstitutional, and shut it down. The developer went bankrupt — It is crazy to see how this works. Similar things happen with our taxpayer dollars all across the country”
