Just imagine investing this much money, time, energy, political will & space into smart walking, biking & transit infrastructure. There are maybe thousands of these. They not only induce a lot more driving, they make our cities think they can’t afford transport solutions that would ACTUALLY work.

Talking about the 'power' of the Australian gas lobby gives the industry far too much credit. The real credit should go to our government and senior public servants for their spinelessness and willingness to put self interest before anything else.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

One thing (among so, so many) that we love about Australia is that a fairly high percentage of right-wing American socio-political attacks & techniques simply do not land in Oz.
They just come off as forced or clunky and we thank sweet Jesus for that.

Is complicity in genocide the legacy you want?
This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.
If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.
