If it was just this I would have been able to overlook the situation but putting a tiny maga hat on it was just too much

Could not agree more!

Yeah all the press I've seen is about restarting nuclear reactors and Elon not giving a shit lol, unclear to me if solar and wind weren't happening or if they just weren't interesting enough to make the news

Maybe this is already happening and I just don't know about it but I would love to see more requiring data centers to generate some(ideally all) of their power from renewables so that things like this would be everywhere

Definitely, it is frustrating and disheartening that people see unhoused people sleeping on the train and are awful about it rather than just wanting to give them a home

I would also add increased funding for housing for the extremely poor and other services so social services can actually help solve problems when they do intervene

I am very wary of the topic of CTA security because there are so many bad faith arguments, but I think this is very smart. The focus is on clear expectations and consequences (involving police only if there is a real threat of imminent violence) and fast and clear enforcement.

Is there a federalist paper for "Will this system still work if the electorate gets really stupid, like dumber than a sack of dogshit?"

Americans voted for the tariff guy to lower inflation either probably or there was no point in trying in the first place

1. Very good take

2. You primed me to be expecting a bunch of high-art takes and a solid 50% at least of the quotes are like "I don't care for the MCU" lol
