I’ve noticed the same in conversations. When I talk about socialist theory, people agree 100%, but as soon as you say a buzz word it’s, “Now I don’t want full socialism!”

Oh wow. I hate them with a passion haha
Maybe cross post to [email protected]
share this with workreform. they’ll love it. I would link but forgot how
Oh the urbanity! Also did a piece on this https://youtu.be/o5PieqjOuzA
One thing I either missed or wasn’t stated is the daily cost of ownership. If you purchased on a loan, you have a monthly fee, which can be a daily fee. Then you have insurance and maintenance, but no one knows how much maintenance is, so we typically underestimate it. And even if your vehicle is paid off, you still have that flat cost, which you could compute to a daily rate for the current lifetime of ownership.
For example, I had a car in the US that I paid $25k for after taxes and bogus upsells that I didn’t need. Then I had insurance, which was expensive where I lived. My monthly cost just to own it was ~$600/month for the note and insurance, not even including gas.
So, your trip calculation then becomes the daily rate / # of trips, then you add on the other fees, so for a two leg trip, each leg would cost me $20 for that day plus maintenance, gas, parking.
And that doesn’t account for how much parking raises costs elsewhere, as noted in the book, The High Cost of Free Parking by Donald Shoup: https://www.amazon.com/High-Cost-Free-Parking-Updated/dp/193236496X
In case anyone isn’t in the know, Gov. Greg Abbott just removed mandatory water breaks for construction workers
I’m in the US and when I read the title I assumed it’d be a car parked in an insane way. I wish we had the opportunity to be mad at bikes haha. The closest is people dumping scooters wherever or they try to park them politely but then they fall over
The Yale University professor’s former ties to Big Tech companies including Microsoft and Apple raised eyebrows, as she would have been in charge of advising on the Digital Markets Act, the EU law designed to tame those very companies.
Yeah, that’ll do it
uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol
The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.
Just a quote I remembered and thought was funny… and sad
that’s just a “coffee” shop in Netherlands
Like a camel going through the eye of a needle, but he never said we couldn’t make a bigger needle!
