Once it obeys UN resolutions and restores the territorial integrity of West Bank and Gaza and respects Palestinian statehood, sure

Lander was #3.

The same thing happens to Russians living outside of Russia

no. are you going to say the same about muslims after 9/11?

i don’t remember

it goes both ways. a ton of progressives supported lander

dude mamdani and lander cross-endorsed

okay that’s enough. here’s the actual answer:

People have told me I don’t know how good I have it.

That my complaints about Linux['s accessibility for the blind] are too much. That I’m spoiled. That back in the day, things were harder. That Windows XP was worse in every way. That modern systems are faster, more usable, more accessible — and I’m just being dramatic.

So I decided to call that bluff.

—part 1

One of the points Fireborn made in their famous “I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back” series is that Linux accessibility has deteriorated a lot over time.

mmm, steamed fabs!

Regressive taxes are far, far more cost efficient than means testing. And like I said, the costs saved by eliminating fare are already factored in. They’re $33 million per year, and I added an extra $52 million on top of that for good measure.

Also, what does this have to do with means testing?

What is the point you’re trying to make here?

If you don’t include them then the cost is gonna be higher than $600 million. My point that it won’t pay for itself and has to suck up funds that could’ve been used for infrastructure remains.

Yeah that’s already factored in as savings and thus deducted from the costs:

The cost of eliminating fares from all city buses would likely be north of $700 million – an MTA analysis from 2022 put the cost for fiscal year 2026 at $778 million, Mamdani’s campaign said. A separate analysis on free local bus service from the city Independent Budget Office incorporated savings that fare-free bus rides would produce, including on fare enforcement and collection costs, totaling $33 million per year. They found the total cost would be $652 million.

I already deducted an extra $52 million for a good-looking number. Whatever the independent analysis didn’t think of is not likely to go beyond this $52 million.

I don’t think that’s gonna cover much of the $600 million after eliminating fare enforcement costs.

What do we feel about eliminating bus fares? It’ll definitely improve quality of life for drivers, riders, and new riders, but how they’re going to pay for that feels like a giant missed opportunity in improving rail and the subway.

Still, he has more influence than an assemblyman, board appointees, and a pulpit.

how many do you use per week?

Interesting, I would think that they would consider being eternally connected to a power bank when designing USB-C.

you use all five every week?

sure, a USB-C Hub With Two USB-C Ports then
