I believe they can, but to what extent I’m unaware.
Of course it would, but the state department of transportation is forbidden from spending any money on anything but roads. The people in cities are already taxed to hell and back, so it’s a tough sell for them to be taxed more for a light rail system that wouldn’t be finished for another 20 years.
It’s a similar thing here in Austin. Rather than expand the light rail system, the state is expanding I-35 through downtown.
However, it’s not so cut and dry. See, the city has to fund the light rail expansion, while the Texas Department of Transportation funds the highway expansion. Both have access to the same data, but the latter is restricted by law to only spend money on expansions to alleviate traffic on highways. Alternative modes of transport aren’t even considered because it would be against the law to spend any money on it. So if the data says there’s too much traffic, the state has the money to fix it and they’re only allowed to fix it in precisely one way.
It’s ridiculous.
That shit would be like, $4K/month.
For so many, everything is black and white. They don’t understand that when we want better public transport we aren’t saying to get rid of the roads. We’re just saying that if people have more options maybe those roads won’t constantly be under construction, traffic won’t be as bad, and maybe the roads won’t have to be as big so we can build more cool stuff instead.
You’ve never been in a precarious financial situation in the states, then.
Almost like questioning an AI is free while a therapist costs a LOT of money.
But it shouldn’t be, and that’s an issue. It doesn’t matter what color someone is, who they fuck, or what God they follow. It doesn’t matter if they’re disabled physically or mentally. Everyone deserves exactly what they need to be on a level playing field with everyone else. Everyone deserves safety, security, and everything they need to survive. Right now, PEOPLE are struggling. Yes, because others choose to degrade them for whatever reason, and we should focus on that, not what they’re being degraded for. Focus on the bullies, not the kind of people they punch. Tolerance of intolerance breeds intolerance.
Seriously. It doesn’t matter how people identify, they’re all people. And people right now are beaten, broken, and poor.
One can only hope.
I don’t know anyone that isn’t using Indeed or LinkedIn these days.
Legit the only way I might ever own one, not that I’d be able to pay the taxes on it.
But I sure as hell don’t want to have to trade my mother for it.
It’s already useless for someone like me. Can’t afford any of it.
So everyone it is, then. Well, it’s been nice.
Or just shoot all cops. ACAB and whatnot.
Nah. Let both sides blow each other to kingdom come. Too much bad on either side.
And y’all better believe that button makes the ‘lizard’ sound.
