@KyleCryptoLand@whstancil It takes time to actually deliver on infrastructure. My home county's PUD has made great use of the federal grant money and is about to have roughly 10,000 gaining access to rural broadband, but building rural broadband has taken years because, well, it's a lot of work!
@LinkofSunshine I was extremely shocked to hear a New Yorker casually use that term in a conversation where the context clues were hard to interpret...
@FearlessWisco@kylegriffin1 That's going to take Congress being willing to deal with this. Given the GOP's hatred for education, it's going to be a tall order until this particular brand of venal moron Republicans lose their grip on power.
@ArmandDoma@LinkofSunshine One of our DMs a couple years back ended up in a public records tranche, which the complainant tried to use to suggest...? I'm honestly not sure what her claim was...
> be democrats
> pull the economy out of a crater
> rebuild manufacturing in the USA
> pump up the stock markets to record highs
> bring unemployment to the lowest rate in decades
> lose
@kdrum@besttrousers Weird. NYT reports between 12k-20k Haitians in Springfield (not that this gives any credence to the right-wing racist trope) https://t.co/oR9MntBLor
@RealJakeGrover @ScrapB4813@whstancil I think the thing that makes people skeptical of your motivation is that there is a near infinite list of other, much more important things to be concerned about, so why are you concerned about Harris's earrings in particular?
I'm seriously considering making "On the Housing Crisis" by @JerusalemDemsas my next Mayor's Book Club book. Great timing, too, as we embark on Port Townsend's Comprehensive Plan period update.
βOn the Housing Crisisβ is a clear-eyed treatise on the limits of local government. I hope to help make Port Townsend an exception to the rule, though. Port Townsend cannot survive if we cannot help ourselves to solve our housing crisis.
