it's a gerontocrat who believes they should maintain power forever without demonstrating an ounce of skill, insight, courage or effectiveness. they really want to argue that 44 is not enough life experience to *checks notes* serve on the council of a mid-size american city

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

By contrast Pirtle-Guiney voted yes at least 75% of the time in contested votes on items introduced by other councilors, across factions. Dunphy, Green, Kanal, and Morillo were all yes at least 50% for items introduced by all other councilors.
