@DPearsonPHL@JawadPullin@drussellmrichie That’s true, but the tax would hit poor riders harder. That’s what council is rightfully concerned with. That’s not being shortsighted, that’s being cautious, which is how those folks stay in office.
@Heathfeath45@mattyglesias No major city in this country has good public transportation, so SEPTA is hardly a disqualifier. SEPTA has some lousy stations, but so does NYC.
@fspelledwrong@camus_fan_club@bikemamadelphia Waymos are primarily replacing rideshare drivers. And I would guess that rideshare drivers drive far more safely than most do. So safer than bad drivers – yes. But they’re not the ones being replaced by Waymo.
@Jalon323@jongeeting Do you have any facts to verify that Waymo cars are cheaper and safer than existing services?
How does Waymo better align with the goals of vision zero? You’re replacing one car on the road with another – the goal is to reduce the number of cars and improv public transportation.
@ethanteicher@jongeeting@harrisonfinberg Do you have any data to back that up? From what I can glean, Waymo’s local footprint leans heavily on outsourced fleet operators, rather than building large in-house mechanic/technician workforces in every city they serve.
@epicdad343@JulianAndreone Did you actually watch the clip? People want him out because he consistently appears to be having a lot of difficulty expressing coherent thoughts.
@BernieSanders We’re not arming Netanyahu. We’re arming Israel. Israel is the perpetrator of the crimes against humanity, not Netanyahu. The country of Israel, not their Prime Minister.
When will you drop the ridiculous farce of pinning the heinous actions of an entire country on one person?
The bullshit tactic of Israel supporters is to pretend the bad parts of Israel are due to Netanyahu, so that once he's gone, everyone can and should go back to loving Israel.
Netanyahu is fully representative of Israel. That's why he's been in power 19 years. What comes after him will be more sociopathic. Netanyahu is the by-product of the evils of that country, not the cause.
@mindyisser Unfortunately, the cab industry imploded due to the ride-share companies, which, being true capitalists, raised their rates after eliminating their competition. I prefer cabs to Uber – cab drivers know the city and don’t need an app to tell them how to get somewhere.
Israel still massacring people and killing children in Gaza because this is what Israel is: not just what it does, but what it is. Also, if you're American, you're the ones paying for this.
Nothing to see here
Just Israel blowing up civilian homes in Ainata — a centuries-old village in South Lebanon
Another historic piece of Lebanon wiped out before the eyes of the world
Pure terror. Pure destruction
And yet, no global outrage. No condemnation. No accountability
BREAKING: BBC has compiled evidence of more than 160 Palestinian children deliberately shot in the head by IDF soldiers and snipers in Gaza. They concluded the worst thing ever:
"Israeli jews are hunting children for fun."
I don't mind admitting that I hope the US and Israel suffer a crushing, devastating defeat in Iran. I hope this war collapses the entire US empire. My only loyalty is to humanity, and being on Team Human in today's world means being against the US empire and against Israel.
