I know massive amounts about cycling. If this reaches the FP, I'll write up a multipart Imgur post on safe cycling as well as the intricacies of bicyclist advocacy.

This type of project takes more work than the public sees because the process has to be legally defensible and the people doing THAT work cost money. Meeting set standards, showing that in stamped drawings, etc. is necessary to protect public funds from enterprising lawyers. Expect these benches to be removed literally to save public tax funds.

A right prohibits action or guarantees action. Most constitutional rights prohibit the government from taking certain actions against people.

A right TO FOOD obligates someone to provide that food for free. A right against starvation prohibits withholding legally acquired food from someone.

So which “right” are we talking about?

Half of America still voted for him. That’s a base. They were dumb enough to listen to bots, but they’re still his base.

Ya, this couple seems exceptionally ignorant despite having graduate degrees. If randos on Imgur can use an online calculator in 60 seconds to find the literal solution. To their financial woes, then they should’ve been able to do the same.

What they mean but don’t say: The JOBS are essential, but easy enough to learn that the people are easily replaceable. As long as SOMEONE does the job, then all’s good.

What mom and pop stores out there selling new denim jeans? Fragrance-free Tide? Xbox controllers? Face it- superstores are the norm now and the loss of a superstore is the loss of jobs, food access, and other supplies.

MANY reasons. Restaurants would have to raise prices to cover increased wages and taxes on wages if they just pay a fair wage. This would make them less competitive *on the menu* compared those who don’t. Additionally, many/most servers don’t report their taxable cash tips and prefer to have the untaxed funds. Lastly, the smaller amount of highly-tipped servers always acts against a flat wage to preserve their income under the guise of the lesser-tipped servers.

Interracial marriage is already protected. He was voting against the gay marriage aspect of the bill. Still an a-hole.

CEO compensation is a red herring. Thats not the difference between poverty wage and living wage. Look at demands of investors.

That’s a 2019 stat and speaks to individuals. Household income and location of said household is a better measure of poverty.

That’s what I’m reading in this tweet. “100% pure objectivity and impartiality is impossible thus my feelings are just as valid as logic.”

Anyone who think this absolutely is merely trying to justify their own inability to think objectively.

Stay well-informed without knowing every detail. Limit your intake. Focus on facts. Form opinions. Revisit only with major developments.

That’s a thief for you. Most are not physically aggressive and, due to lax enforcement, continue to victimize thus instigating vigilantism.

Way more than 50% of the US wants legalized abortion. That is not translating into an act of Congress. They’re related but not equivalent.
