I guess it’s more important to curb single use plastics there cause they can’t ship it off to the third world like in the u.s.

They can do limited equity programs to mitigate this and other speculation. Ie. When you buy the house you agree to sell it at the inflation adjusted price you bought it at, maybe with a percent or two of appreciation as well.

San francisco has around 50,000 vacant residencies and around 8,000 unhoused people. There is supply in these “desirable” locations, it’s just that under the logic of capitalism this supply isn’t made available to those who need it.

That’d be great if freedom of movement wasn’t one of the first rights they take away to prevent something like this.

So do you have to basically ai spam applications if you want a job now? Cause it seems like companies are using ai to filter out 99% of applications so there’s no use into putting manual effort to adjust resumes and write cover letters if a human isn’t going to read it.

Don’t they know, trump did CLEAN COAL , all the coal is clean because of CLEAN COAL and you can’t get black lung from CLEAN COAL

Speaking for san francisco:

No

No

Yes, in March last year we passed a proposition exempting them from real estate transfer taxes

Yes, there’s a vacancy tax, but there’s a decent amount of exemptions so it only effects large multi unit buildings

No, but there aren’t really any strip malls in the city

He’s so used to being the boss and having everyone always laugh at his shitty jokes that he thinks he’s funny.

He’s not a politician and has no charisma or any way of getting people to do what he wants outside of ordering them to, which is why he’ll never do well in politics where building and maintaining relationships in your coalition is one of your main jobs.

do you know what “from the river to the sea” means?

Yeah, it means the same thing as a song I was taught in elementary school:

From sea to shining sea,

Let freedom ring

It means let everyone in this land enjoy freedom. I suppose if your a cynical bastard you could say it means free of natives, but I don’t think that’s what the elementary schoolers, and everyone else who sings the song means.

Yeah, cause in a nazis belief system I should be enslaved or killed. There belief system is an existential threat to me, so yeah I’m not gonna cry if they’re further away from me.

Mahmouds belief system is only an existential threat to the apartheid Israeli state.

They have a word, you just can’t say it

Listened to a podcast with a person who lived in the ussr when it fell and was comparing it to current day America. Basically they were saying that people are becoming more cynical and don’t really believe in the project any more and are waiting for something to come along and fundamentally change things.

With gorbachev it was a turn to democratic liberal capitalism, with trump its a turn to autocratic neo-mercantalism.

Both could bring down the great empires of the twentieth century.

More like the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

some of them went to Ukraine and eventually into Crimea instead

Weren’t they from Ukraine / Moldova? In which case wouldn’t it mean they stayed and just got pushed into a smaller and smaller corner like the ERE

Not so fun fact: early on Hitler was a zionist, or at least considered it a good “solution” to the “Jewish question” before he came up with the final solution.

The great salt lake doesn’t connect to the ocean or any other shore and therefore is not a major shipping route. Also it may only be two more down than Ontario but it’s an order of magnitude smaller.

Maybe it was based off the 2020 census where it had a higher population, but even then it had less than Michigan, so idk where this is coming from.

American brown people, who in his caste system are higher than foreign brown people.

He may want to shut down some agencies that are currently investigating/ prosecuting him until trump actually gets in, like the national labor relations board and the epa.
