This is something that needs to be hammered home more- with apps and real time info, taking a bus is a vastly different experience now than when I first started taking them in 1989- the days of standing at a bus stop for 40m wondering if the bus is even running that day are long over
One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

A murderer is on the loose in NYC. He killed a man, 25 years old, immigrant from Ecuador, who was just walking home from celebrating the New Year.
His weapon was an SUV, so this gets treated differently from other killings. He may get a ticket— for fleeing.

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

American isn’t set up for what? in 1907 America wasn’t set up for cars, look what happened in less than 30 years. have a little imagination and creativity.
I’m not sure there are national implications? I can count on one hand (SF, Boston, DC, Chicago) the number of cities in America that have transit networks robust enough that congestion pricing is a viable policy. America isn’t really setup for it.

it’s perfectly fine to tell a cyclist who is unhappy with unsafe riding conditions to seek an alternative form of transportation, whereas telling that to a motorist who hates the scarcity of parking in the city is tantamount to picking a fistfight
