It's bad policy to arbitrarily force rideshare companies to pay more than the legal minimum wage and the market rate.
You should take a look within yourself and ask, "Why do I hate poor people so much?" Or, "Why do I support policy that harms poor people?".

Rent control hurts poor people, dumbass. It increases rents long term by reducing supply. That's one bad thing among another 5 or 6 items.
The rideshare ordinance was bad and they did their wage calculation wrong and WITHOUT THE RIDESHARE DATA. Of course it got vetoed.

Fateh who isn't polling too hot?
I'm gonna laugh when the best candidate wins again (Frey) and we still have the best housing markets because we didn't choose the empirically bad housing policy

Uhh most people are not and the reform shouldn't be rent control because it makes housing supply issues worse
This also isn't a national issue, because we aren't going to do rent control nationally

Believe it or not, trying to claim some sort of experience based high ground about living in the area that we're talking about is really stupid when the other person you're talking to also lives in Minneapolis.
It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about. And the data agrees.

You mean in Minneapolis where average rents have decreased relative to inflation since the pandemic and supply has increased?
Those policies? Those sound good to me. Do they sound bad to you?
We have one of the best housing markets in the entire country.

Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible Moment
This is one of those videos that you could just keep writing forever but I guess I recently had cause to decide to finish it. I waffle back and forth about whether we are on the quick path or the long path here. What seems clear is that, if all trust gets destroyed, reality starts to matter a little less and people pick the reality that the refer. What Renee DiResta calls "Bespoke Realities." It's going to take time to put the pieces back together, but I do think that, when we do, it will be a better world. It's just that, most days, I think that's going to take forever.
