Sign you on the picket line!
Two minutes of brief public dialogue between Mayor Keith Wilson, Councilor Sameer Kanal and city administrator Michael Jordan caused immediate ripples of panic through the three public safety bureaus and their unions. https://t.co/NP2uXbv2E7
@KivvyCat Americans lost their pensions in the mid century and so their retirement depends on their house appreciating every year, forever. This means rent has to also go up every year, forever.
It is so monumentally embarrassing that I am finally getting into Christianity because it's the only way I can quit vaping.
I am more of a general deist/ feel like god is physics/ math / sees itself thru our eyes kinda vibe in terms of what I "actually think" (the universe is also probably dead and empty except yeh idk prob not ngl)
but there really is something in here that at least speaks to me and what is strange is I never truly needed it until I had to stop myself from doing something destructive. I don't usually have a drive that overrides my central nervous system that wants to do smthn as destructive as vaping (so so soooo lame)
This has rly been sending me into a philosophical tailspin tho cuz I have never ever ever had my mind even remotely accessible to religion like I distinctly was extremely doubtful abt it in like grade 1 before I could even be introduced to the concept of doubting it
But I am realizing art in and of itself is possibly what god is. The story you tell yourself is very powerful
A recent example: In 2023, I introduced a bill to raise bridge tolls by $1.50 to support transit. There was big pushback that raising tolls would harm lower income drivers. The bill died.
In 2024, a $3.50 toll increase was proposed to fund bridge maintenance. It easily passed.
A lot of you have asked, "When will the Type 6s be in service?"
The answer is, we're still working on it.
It's taking longer than we expected to get the new trains on the system as we work out some software issues with the manufacturer. Meanwhile, we'll continue testing the trains so that they're ready to go once the software fix is in.
Thanks for your continued patience while we get these trains ready to roll. We'll keep you updated!
