Easily the dumbest and least innovative of the silicon valley megabillionaires.

Banning police unions is a no brainer.

This is so irrelevant, who CARES

There's nothing special here, just pretend you showed up with 100 signed photos of yourself and said you were selling half of them to the highest bidder and keeping the other half. Now your collection of autographed photos is ostensibly worth 50 times as much as you are selling them for.

Same thing here, only stupider.

It's not all of a sudden. The Spring Break crowd has been controversial for decades. Bar and hotel owners of course love them. Locals unaffiliated with the tourism industry are more ambivalent and always have been.

No. The State of Hawaii is the largest landowner on Maui, followed by the real estate company Alexander and Baldwin. Do not spread misinformation please.

This kind of thing is common and has happened for decades. Boeing is the example you are probably most familiar with.

They should get therapy rite?

"All over the internet"

Okay that sounds bad.

Is there an example that is not a government website.

I call driving at night, participating in the mass blinding. It's fucking terrible.

In a PURELY utilitarian sense would there be more overall harm by me driving around with my brights on to piss people off and therefore incrementally accelerate any solution here, or just drive with normal headlights? Serious question actually. Btw people don't flash their brights any more - nobody can tell if you have them on or not, because half the cars on the road appear to have them on at all times.

The memeification/cutesiness of the name of this center and others (Cornhusker Clink, Speedway Slammer) are blackpilling honestly.

Can't decide if I'm annoyed that this poorly-disguised influence scheme will go unpunished, or if thrilled that many very deserving people will be separated from their money.

Perception of safety has a lot more to do with high profile random violence (e.g. the recent well-publicized NYC subway crimes) and general street disorder. Nobody expects to get murdered, but people know they could run into a mentally ill addict or have to sit in a subway car with someone behaving in a scary fashion. I probably have 2 or 3 incidents a month on the subway where I am rattled by someone's behavior. That impacts me more than murders in The Bronx.

Kids murdered gang shooting in the Bronx: sad but somewhere else

Guy pushed onto subway tracks in midtown: shit better watch my back

That's true only if homeless people make zero noise, do not act or behave eccentrically, do not bother other customers, do not have offensive odors, immediately cede their seat to a customer who arrives, somehow don't make through their presence prospective customers believe the shop is too crowded, etc. Do you think even actual customers who are not mentally disturbed or addicted can fulfill this bar you've set by saying "costs nothing"?

Warming is a canard, every street homeless person can get warm at a church or shelter. In NYC you can 311 a city department and they'll go offer the person a ride to a shelter anywhere in the city in a van. Their average time is <1 hour. They can walk into any library in the city.

I encounter homeless every day and resent dumb online joke, these are individuals who have serious problems and, as stated, there is a reason even public services find it hard to serve these populations.

There's also a reason neither you nor I regularly invite street homeless into our homes.

If you don't like megacorp there are 1000 better ways you can argue it than saying "they should let homeless in to hang out". Choosing the argument that you have chosen, just sounds ridiculous.

More gun fetishists acting psychotically.

We can't hold every type of tax-incentive based progress hostage because our culture won't tolerate day-fines or other income-scaled penalties. I mean we could, but it wouldn't make sense. This is a good program and it has an option for low income people to pay less. Furthermore we can always funnel money from rich to poor in other ways (e.g. through unrelated).

Maybe if you are that poor don't pilot your personal vehicle into the congested parts of Manhattan, where you pay for parking on top of the general costs of your car such as insurance and fuel.

Take the subway like me and a million others.

Remind me your grand plan to institute day fines again?

It's wild to me that we're having a discussion about Israel in these comments, voters told us exactly what their major concerns were and they were economic and it wasn't even close. Foreign policy, trans issues, etc are all hot button topics easy to argue over but voters felt the economy was bad and that's the biggest reason Trump won.

Well, we're certainly not getting away from mining with solar and wind.

In fact, the amount of uranium used is so low that the amount mined per megawatt-hour is probably way less than for building solar and wind.

it was always weird that he was so against something I hated so much

lmao
