Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

"Most Americans probably don’t have a detailed grasp of what’s happening with ACA subsidies right now, but once people start getting letters notifying them of how much their premiums are going up, it will become a much bigger issue."

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

No, you don't gotta hand it to him for possibly getting the third Biden cease fire eight months late after tolerating a mass starvation campaign and demanding a little ethnic cleansing and enormous bribes as a treat, and only because Netanyahu surprise bombed the chief bribe facilitator.

Dat hij duidelijk maakte wat er op korte termijn kon gebeuren.
Vooral die splitsing van huizen is echt een goede maatregel om op korte termijn woningen beschikbaar te maken.
En wat er op midden en langetermijn nodig is.

Het voordeel van een nieuwe stad is dat je gelijk ook een terrassenplein kan aanleggen, een park en andere dingen die daar wonen aantrekkelijk maakt. En je kan bijvoorbeeld parkeergarages meteen aanleggen zodat je ook delen geheel autovrij kan maken. Dat is in ongegonnen gebied veel goedkoper.

De bedoeling is wel om die steden zoveel mogelijk te bouwen op voormalige landbouwgrond. Ik weet eerlijk gezegd niet of er tussen Tilburg en Eindhoven genoeg boerderijen zijn om op te heffen en een stad te bouwen. Anders kan je compenseren door landbouwgrond in de buurt te vervangen door natuur.
