On the same day diesel hit £2 a litre for the first time, we took 50+ cargo bikes onto the streets of London for the seventh Cargo Bike Cruise. While diesel vans are getting more expensive to run, cargo bikes are becoming a practical and cheaper option for more and more businesses.

Ordinarily I'd congratulate an admin giving each child born in a specific time period, $1000. But w Trump, there's always a catch. Will ICE use accts to track down family members to deport? Will Trump find a way to funnel money deposited into child's acct into HIS family? Campaign bribe? 🤷
The Trump administration is preparing to automatically enroll every American child in a Trump Account before the midterms ---aiming to increase the impact of a program that has struggled with low take-up

Again, Trump invents a mythical plant and mythical wages to gain votes before an election. Lies, Lies, and more Lies. Laughing behind your back that he's fooled you again. When it's habitual, you'd think voters wld take his announcements with a grain of salt.🤷

This is fantastic news for Ben and his family! But it's also another example of how badly the UCP have screwed up AISH. Ben was forced onto ADAP, a social media outcry caused a re-evaluation and then Ben was approved AISH after they found out about a press conference. /1

Really good article about trust & data sovereignty. There's always been a lot we can learn fr Indigenous knowledge keepers and practices. Large populated areas too often think they have all the answers to deep societal questions. Instead look to smaller populations who're already working solutions.

Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop. But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.

Here in Oil Country AB, converted to US gallons and $, we're paying $6.65 for diesel, compared to US $6/gallon. Why isn't AB's prov government cutting residents here a break on 'at the pump' pricing? AB Taxpayers ARE giving oil companies huge breaks/incentives fr the pockets of ordinary worker bees.
And on Monday the 21st of September, Louisiana, the second-biggest refining state in America, a state whose coastline is one long refinery with a fishing licence and a Bible study, recorded the highest diesel price in its history: $6.0337 a gallon. Two days later its governor declared a state of emergency, and by Thursday morning it was the lead item on the New Orleans news, wedged between the petrol prices and the weather, which is where a car crash ends up once it's been going for seven months.
