The War on Cars @thewaroncars.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
Nobody disputes that having access to a car in a car-dominated society is good. It gives one access to jobs, healthcare, food, education, social opportunities and more. All we're asking is for people to go one step deeper and ask why access to such basic rights requires buying and operating a car.

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol
From mid-2022 to early 2025, the egg producers communicated with each other to coordinate bidding activity on a widely used pricing service, according to a complaint filed in a federal court in Iowa.
The complaint details instances of executives for the companies calling and texting each other in an effort to push prices higher.
Under the settlement, the state DOJ says the three companies must end their price coordination, adopt compliance measures and cooperate with

LIC has nearly 7,000 narrow lots, too small to build on under current rules. A City Council proposal could change that. The key: allowing single-stair buildings up to 8 stories on lots as narrow as 15 feet. We looked at what that means for our neighborhood. hpl.nyc/narrow

I'm not sure people -- including people inside oil futures markets! -- really get it: this is all going to get much worse. If you won't listen to me, listen to f'ing Exxon!

Exxon warns oil inventories will hit dangerously low levels in weeks, forcing prices to shoot higher
The price of physical Brent oil cargoes will spike to $150 to $160 per barrel once inventories hit all-time lows, Exxon executive Neil Chapman said.

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.
Max Dubler, AICP

Counterpoint: we should triple the number of homes in the Bay Area so that everyone who wants to move here can do so.

I don't like all this national attention from the Superbowl on the Bay. We don't need more people finding out how great it is here. I liked it better when they all thought it was a shit hole. The rent is too damn h...

John J Filson

I agree w/Troutski. Until CA can handle population/growth better, it should not try to encourage population growth other that select, desirable demographics expected to benefit the state as a whole. Likewise it should tailor incentives to disperse population growth.

We should legalize cafes in residential areas in the US, especially in coastal areas with a large amount of WFH. They're low-intensity businesses that can be run out of houses and they wouldn't be crowding out non-food retail from commercial areas. darrellowens.substack.com/p/legalize-c...

One thing 2025 made clear: Durable progress on climate in the US will require structural reform to our corrupted political systems. Otherwise, steps forward will always be vulnerable to the bloody clawbacks we saw this year. A political strategy that doesn't center system reform is not "pragmatic."
