No AC in the uber. Rarely do I order an uber, but when I do it’s to avoid the sweat and sticky of biking or public transit. When the uber driver doesn’t have AC it simply defeats the purpose. 😒

Former Mayor Kenney writes this op-ed in defense of:
✅ The Zero-Fare Program for low-income Philadelphians
✅ SEPTA Key Advantage for city workers
“For them, $80 to $100 a month in transit costs can mean the difference between putting food on the table or not.”

Jim Kenney: Don’t let the free SEPTA transit pass program die | Opinion

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

100% always. I attribute most of my professional skills to the 10 years I spent behind a bar.
Also, the value of her time as a bartender should not be overlooked. She’s used to dealing with assholes and knows there’s nothing gained in trying to appease them. We’d all be better off if our leaders came from the service industry rather than being fucking lawyers and business dorks.

Life hack: Go to your local bike shop and buy a new or used bicycle. Put fenders, rack, and panniers on it. Ride it for every commute under five miles. Groceries, arends, everything. Keep at it.
