Rail Barons?
Curse you, Rail Barons!
Also his new clothes are - quite . . so . . very.
Jebus, Marie and Jospeh! What a maroon.
I read it as “this is the political reality of the housing situation. If you don’t have a plan to overcome this reality, your ideology isn’t at issue.”
That’s not blaming the “leftists” for NIMBY. That’s stating that NIMBY and zoning laws are what the “leftists” or anyone else who’s trying to get housing for people has to deal with.
When he says “I don’t care how much you love working people” what I think he’s saying is, and I’m going to paraphrase here so bear in mind this is not his actual words but my subjective interpretation; “‘Leftists’ - people who are unable or unwilling to identify as Democrats because they are so pure of ideology and full of naïevite want to help working people but THEY HAVE NO PLAN TO DO SO that doesn’t involve magic hand-waving, or the immediate total restructuring of American democracy itself, and therefore ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. Therefore their very loud pronouncements of love for working people is irrelevant. People who actually love working people find ways to get things done for them.”
So to recap; NIMBY isn’t the fault of evil leftists, it’s just one of the hurdles anyone trying to get housing built needs to overcome, and so-called leftists can yap all day about helping the working class, but if they can’t do anything for them what’s the point?
How you figure he’s blaming “the leftists” for NIMBY?
“There’s been, I gather, some argument between the left of the party and people who are promoting the quote-unquote abundance agenda. Listen, those things are not contradictory. You want to deliver for people and make their lives better? You got to figure out how to do it,” he said.
“I don’t care how much you love working people. They can’t afford a house because all the rules in your state make it prohibitive to build. And zoning prevents multifamily structures because of NIMBY,” he said, referring to “not in my backyard” views. “I don’t want to know your ideology, because you can’t build anything. It does not matter.”
O noes bougie lib has a points! Quick, blame something on that centrist think tank that went bankrupt in 2011!
“I don’t want to know your ideology, because you can’t build anything. It does not matter.”
Dag, yo.
To be fair, she was fucking hammered at the time.
<blink>fascism in progress</blink>
Yep. Gross incompetence.
7·6 days agoIt is cool, and yes the prototype they made is the size of a coin battery. They made three 1v “super capacitors” and linked them together to light a 3v LED.
That said, my only question was should they ever get it to be able to store and discharge 10kW, wouldn’t it necessarily all discharge at once? Like, it’s not a battery - but that’s a small problem after they’ve solved the big ones.
Cement is also not a good material, cement production accounts for 4-8% of all CO2 production.
I thought that was concrete?
Well we could put it all in bonds which . . . oh wait no . . umm . . . hangon . . Uh. . . Anyone know anything about the NIKKEI?
Sure why not? What are you gonna do - vote? HA!
Yeah. This sometimes known as “a contradiction”, or in many cases “outright fucking hypocrisy”.
