The hidden costs of car dependency.
And how much Transportation is hidden in the other categories? What portion of Housing costs is the garage under your apartment building? What portion of Food is the sea of parking surrounding the supermarket? What portion of Healthcare is car-related injury and respiratory disease?
Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)!
To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.

Decades of research have shown that round-the-clock fetal monitoring does not reliably predict fetal distress, and experts say it leads to many unnecessary surgeries. But it’s still used in nearly every birth in the U.S. because of business and legal concerns, a New York Times investigation found.

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It's a continuous disgrace.

Drawing your weapon without the intent to fire is illegal. Period.
He’s not wearing a mask. Easy to identify.
Why aren’t state DAs charging these thugs with the crimes they're committing on camera?

@mariashriver.bsky.social. I started your column about listening but stopped as soon as you critized both sides for not listening. Are you sure that is fair? One side has listened and wants a bit of input, the other is all MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. Am I wrong about this? Both side ism?

The Korean nationals were here to help set up the plant. They weren't working the factory jobs bc the factory isn't even up and running yet. And the fact that the US media is leaving this INTEGRAL detail out is unethical.

This part. People say "don't talk to cops without a lawyer" for a reason
i’m watching THE YOGURT SHOP MURDERS on hbo and it is yet another reminder that police are very bad at solving crimes where there isn’t an immediate and obvious suspect, and even then! (also, watching these detectives coerce an innocent person into a false confession…)

What just happened is disturbing. Trump just endorsed a blatant war crime as “retaliation” for a precise military strike that was within the rules of war. And somehow that’s acceptable?
