@drkenstruth@Amtrak@620wtmj Friend, I’ve been sitting here at Lake Forest Illinois for about three hours. There’s no word about a bus or a train coming, just that there might be one eventually. Feels like I don’t matter. Just got a $90 @lyft to get me to the family event.
the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.
Nashville voters have cast their ballots in favor of a new transit plan designed to improve buses, upgrade traffic lights, build sidewalks and more.

Why does it feel like the underlying premise behind @skaushik100 line of questioning about AMR is that close or even general alignment with the Seattle left consensus is inherently disqualifying or delegitimizing?
If that left consensus is successful in the election, then what?
Prior to the 1970s or so, the "Seattle Process" was a bunch of wealthy white dudes meeting at the Rainier Club to make decisions. Since then we've had something more public and inclusive. But now the city and the schools are headed in the wrong direction. https://t.co/Tf3LLpYL7m

7 months into this new City Council and their only actions have been:
• ask staff how city government works; and
• approve massive pay increases for police officers; and
• work to lower wages for gig workers and the service industry
The Seattle Council will take up a bill allowing businesses with fewer than 500 employees to permanently count tips/benefits toward the minimum wage, altering a deal made 10 years ago for the credit to expire in 2025

@LittleMammith Following politics but not trying to understand how the systems work looks exhausting. You’ll always be asking “but why didn’t they push the Thing That’s Good button?”
