The AMA has done the math showing that the cost to operate an automobile can approach $10,000 PER YEAR!

For that kind of money you could buy a new Urban Arrow electric cargo bike, ride it for a year, toss it in a dumpster, buy another, and you'd till be ahead.

There is another way. #cargobikelife

We need one of those wacko evangelical numerologists to interpret what that 6666x salary means.
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Ok but bring back the $1.50 “Chicago Fee” to pay for more transit infrastructure
The city of Chicago announced an $18 million settlement Friday in its four-year-old lawsuit against DoorDash alleging the food delivery service engaged in deceptive business practices during the pandemic — at the expense of customers, restaurants and drivers.

Unfortunately, some unethical attorneys (including one who has a social media following as a self-proclaimed advocate for immigrants) are trying to charge vulnerable families for services related to the Castañon Nava settlement that they are entitled to for free through NIJC:
