The U.S. in a nutshell: If you have your own business, you aren't making Them™️ rich.
Reminder to pro-business Americans: Canada has something like twice as many self-employed people and small businesses per capita as you because even self-employed Canadians can get unemployment insurance and healthcare. It's great for our local economies.
sort of funny how people don't get how utterly ruthless the campaign was focused on the everyday affordability angle, even from people aligned with Mamdani!

hot take: making up fancy names for particular train lines gets in the way of efficient timetable planning and stops people thinking about the system as a system with reliable transfers. i don’t care what the train from maastricht to rotterdam is called or if it involves a transfer. that’s the goal.
As we get the garbage rename to Gold Runner thought about a better set of unified names

We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.
It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets.
