@SenTedCruz A rich person deferring a few paychecks to later is not heroic or a hardship. It’s theater. He does not live paycheck to paycheck. He’s still getting the money.
@RedWaveLLC@megynkelly Imagine thinking that being in an organization and following orders makes you qualified to lead the whole thing and give the orders.
@innoc_bystander If it’s anything like post-flood rebuilding, there will also be thousands of out of state “contractors” sweeping to separate you from your insurance money. The reputable folks will have years-long waiting lists.
@BillKingHouston@lilmackypickles@theSurlyBiker@JustDogHair@whitmire_john I don’t know if you noticed but we are rapidly building multistory apartment buildings all over the place and constantly tearing down a single house to replace it with 9. Our density is increasing. Especially in the loop. As a community leader I’m sad that you aren’t more open.
@fernschumer Ok, that’s what I thought. I think it would be appropriate in an article where you include the cover of the book and note the book as a reference, to disclose that you didn’t read the book or base your theory on the contents of the book, but only on the discourse around it.
@lilmackypickles@theSurlyBiker@BillKingHouston@JustDogHair@whitmire_john Being excruciatingly incompetent at something doesn’t make that thing bad when it is done correctly. And doing something because you know how to do it doesn’t make it the right solution to the problem. Houston is shit at public transportation, that doesn’t mean waymo is better.
@theSurlyBiker@BillKingHouston@JustDogHair@whitmire_john I love that you got Bill King all riled up and name calling. He really thinks that “nobody rides our shitty transit system so we shouldn’t improve it” is a good argument.
@wesnichols I’m sorry you’re going through that and I hope you have a good insurance company. I hope this will also radicalize you and your friends to advocate and vote for major public dollars to infrastructure and more fire proof building standards.
