Reading about corporate lobbying against child labor laws in the 1920s and it's the same shit, they never change. It's socialism. It will destroy business. Leave it up to the states. Parents know better than politicians.

Hey y'all. I'm moving this week.
When the national elections came down last year it started a timer for me. I love Denton, I love the folks here. I've massively enjoyed being involved here in the ways I have, and I can brag quite a bit about all the things I've participated in. (1/n)

its remarkable that left of center epople can see clearly that firearms, in spite of a constitutional right, are dangerous and need to be regulated further than they are but some of them get super confused about cars, as if they are not dangerous and as if we have a constitutional right to drive

hell it's not even an *elite* backlash, lots and lots of people who aren't very rich or powerful were complaining because their burrito taxi driver was getting paid better
covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

thinking that the housing crisis is just “greed” completely fails to explain why housing costs in different cities move in different directions.
why have Austin’s housing costs plummeted while NYC’s keep rising? did landlords in Austin decide to be less greedy? no, the city built a ton of housing

Sounds like the actual issue is landlords and developers being greedy.
“Inclusionary zoning” is one of those policies that sounds great at first but then when you look at the actual impact it ends up just being a massive tax on new apartments that exempts single family homes, accomplishing the exact opposite of the intended effect

I think we should spend less time worrying about how affordable brand new homes are and more time worrying about how affordable existing older homes are.

anti-“transplant” politics really should be excised from the left. it’s just woke-washing xenophobia. we should build cities for everyone and welcome people who want to move, whether it be for economic opportunities, good schools, civil rights, or any other reason.
I'm always impressed by the alacrity with which a certain type of guy will get all blood and soil about New York City of all places and start arguing that only lifelong residents have a right to weigh in on things like housing policy.

Alrighty. Election results are getting canvassed and winners are getting sworn in.
Nothing too exciting here:
2 incumbents won unopposed,
1 won opposed,
And 2 minor charter amendments passed.
The big one is in June, to do the D3 runoff winner

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

it’s cool how we are redoing a Soviet style planned economy but instead of getting really smart people to actually study the inputs of production and demand levels (which still failed!) it’s just a senile boomer yelling out random numbers
I also want to comment on his language.
I think - me - Donald Trump - has decided that you get three dolls. Not our government. Not Congress. Not you. Me. I get to make the decision that you get 5 pencils. This is my decision and mine alone.
He has completely lost his fucking mind.

Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

Paris: 94 % of journeys are public transport, bike, foot.
The number of car journeys: halved.
Far fewer traffic fatalities, improved air quality, declining CO2.
What impresses me is that people here are led towards a better future against great odds - while in Germany clocks are running backwards.
