[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Trump's stolen a lot of workers' wages over the years, but this week, he has become history's greatest thief of wages, having directed his FTC to stop enforcing its ban on noncompetes "agreements," a move that will cost workers $400b over 10 years:

@Cobylefko Key piece is the size of the space. Most new bldgs w/retail have large floor plates - not attractive or financially feasible for small biz. Easier for owner to finance & deal with (less tenants) but not great for the neighborhood. Need zoning to allow/require smaller retail space

@FortPointer @MassDEP @CLF Who didn’t see this coming?

@bytimlogan @ditikohli_ Pathetic leadership

@bostonpolice @BostonBTD @berkie1 add this one to your list!

@bostonbikeunion Great news, but…flexible bollards 🤦‍♂️

[Brian Halter @brian_halter__]

@jfh @cden4 @eherot @BostonBTD A place where aggressive enforcement is badly needed and would work is the bus only lane on N. Washington st (headed north toward the bridge). Multiple bus routes are consistently delayed here due to cars using the lane.

@Bloomy_75 @MBTA @MayorWu Agreed and I’ve already done both. The mayor is still incredibly influential though, regardless of true authority.

@mdudas @Wealthfront should be promoting the heck out of this article. They’re currently giving 2.0% on savings accounts.

@BostML @jandev They’re proposing to completely eliminate that bus. How is removing public transit from low-income populations equitable? It increases their commutes/access and will undoubtedly cause the more wealthy riders to drive more. @taydolven @GaylaCawley

[Brian Halter @brian_halter__]

@BostML @jandev Yes that’s stated goal but it falls short it many areas. 1 example is the 92 bus (Sullivan->Main St Charlestown->Downtown). It has multiple stops next to multiple affordable housing developments. 100s of low-income families & seniors use it daily to get to work/appts/etc downtown

@jkwessel @CoachBalto @MayorWu @BostonBTD @bostonbikeunion @StreetsblogMASS Any idea on rough timing for that?

[Brian Halter @brian_halter__]

@jkwessel @CoachBalto @MayorWu @BostonBTD @bostonbikeunion @StreetsblogMASS Whoa….👍🏼

[Brian Halter @brian_halter__]

@jwalshie That should be standard requirement

@ShabazzStuart @ooneepod @MikeLydon @PANYNJ @bikeep @jfh roll out the red carpet for @ShabazzStuart and his team in Boston. The city needs @ooneepod

[Brian Halter @brian_halter__]

@ShabazzStuart @ooneepod @MikeLydon @PANYNJ @bikeep Dig the rendering of it in Boston! Is that a hint of things to come?
