I quantified some of the repaving issues I've been observing, and it's even worse than I expected. I don't understand why this is not a scandal for equity-minded central and south L.A. councilmembers... or even all councilmembers.

It's wild to me that, while Del Mar alts are fairly far along in study, the best we have for san clemente track relocation is an OC supe saying earlier this month that OCTA will 'soon' embark on a study to relocate the tracks... IN 30 YEARS. They intend to keep the tracks here for 3 MORE DECADES.

I really urge people to read Project 2025 and how the Heritage Foundation writes about Title IX elsewhere. These folks believe that Title IX is discriminating against MEN by taking scholarships and opportunities away from guys and pressuring women to do activities outside their ladylike tendencies.

Messed up how under US rentier capitalism you can spend infinite money on health treatments that don't work (supplements, homeopathy, chiropractic) but it's difficult to simply purchase effective treatments like HRT, COVID vaccines, birth control without extensive gatekeeping.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

This cliche propaganda is a perfect example of how modern conservatism reimagines everything they don't like as a personal attack. The objective of bike lanes is to make drivers miserable? No, but that's how to fire up the base. Everything (immigrants, trans folks, vaccines, bike lanes) is an attack
