For real I think about this a lot. We COULD have a subsidized, publicly-owned delivery service of similar convenience as Amazon, and Jeff Bezos could be taking a hike somewhere. For the sake of human rights, maybe your dutch oven or whatever would take just a couple more days to deliver. BIG WHOOP

Honestly even the belief that Amazon as an entity, and Jeff Bezos in particular, is REQUIRED for an efficient delivery service to exist is such propogandized corporate brain poison, it makes me want to sell her a bridge.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Sus + nonsense. Wym you “never use” them? They allow your kid’s teacher to eat fresh produce. They nourish your next doctor in residency. They keep you healthier by supporting others’ immune systems in your city. They reduce your health insurance costs. They put downward pressure on your food prices

PLEASE take my tax money and help people I will never meet! Pay for emergency surgeries for folks in another state. Build public infrastructure in a city I don't live in! I WANT my taxes to uplift others for the good of all! ANYTHING except the military, policing, or lining corporate pockets!

The concept of spoilers exists because of other people. If your attitude is "well it isn't a spoiler because this is a reboot of a thing that's been told already" please consider that people younger than you exist and the thing you already saw is entirely new to them. It's not about what YOU know.

Actually my radical take is that 'just asking questions' on social media is definitionally bad faith against fixing issues If you actually wanted to learn facts, you'd consult, say, data, or an expert, or a book. This is just thinly veiled debate bro shit and it actually helps address issues, zero

if there’s anything I would want to drill into the public consciousness it’s that there are almost always like a dozen ways to approach any given problem and some of them will be more effective than others and we have to stop acting like the questions around it are against fixing the issue

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

developer in an interview: people keep writing articles about what i hypothetically say, and that i've announced something, when i'm not... here's some various thoughts on all of that the entire internet: they JUST announced exactly everything that was hypothetically talked about!!!
