Congestion pricing is good for low-income residents
  • public spending has nothing to do with being able to use it, especially for free.

    you're not getting free corn, nor free medicine, even tho both are heavily publically funded.

    Fact is, the Manhattan metro area can't support the amount of people commuting via care as there were.

  • Here's how Luigi Mangione could go scot-free in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case
  • look at you lefty, calling everyone you don't like a Nazi again. don't you know this is why people become Nazis? just because he was filling the trains to the death camps doesn't make him a bad person, in fact he most likely grew up on a farm, so he's actually a working class hero.

  • Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14%
  • why would market electricity prices have any relation to what you pay on your power bill? turns out that companies will charge whatever they know they can, regardless of the cost of acquiring something to sell, should the cost of something be more than they know they can sell it for, they just won't sell it.

    The idea that market prices influence what you pay for something is basically one of the main lies of supply side economics.

  • It is always capitalism's fault
  • Capitalism was the one main force pushing for the end of slavery at the Contemporaneous Age. It’s basically the reason most of the world doesn’t have it anymore.

  • Saint Luigi
  • Under current economic conditions, economic wealth is necessary for the functioning of the economy

    is it required? to an extent, yes. but do we need 60% of everything to be owned by 10% of the population?

    As for the Capital flight, that is a myth, even the implementation of straight wealth taxes don't see great multimillionaire migrations, because taxation isn't a very strong factor, in fact a golf course or tow is a stronger pull, example Scotland vs Ireland when the UK was still part of the EU saw more ultra wealthy live in Scotland, a region with a higher tax rate, than Ireland, primarily for golf courses.

  • The Trek Place
  • in a technical sense? yes.

    in a practical sense? it's superficial, generally without any actual actions to address anything about it. they will praise a company for plopping rainbows on everything ONLY during the exact days of pride month while funding Christian gay conversion camps
