GOLDMAN has some tough words about the young college-grad unemployment rate rising to 8.5%. 👀
“.. A further deterioration in employment opportunities .. perhaps reflecting AI and other efficiency-enhancing measures .. could have a disproportionate negative impact on consumer spending ..”

This is true! In the early 20th century automakers lobbied municipalities to implement policies that would be pro-car and anti-bike/pedestrian/public transit. From jaywalking laws to traffic ordinances to street design to zoning, American car dependency was manufactured.
Seeing data like this convinces me that the car industry literally has been trying to block bikes from roads since the beginning, because bikes end up being the most useful transportation mode in cities, and over time people will recognize there is no reason to drive at all.
The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

Car-dependent suburbs, man… why?!?!
I just spent 90 mins running 3 errands with my mom & driving her car for her. We were within a 5-mile radius of her house & all 6+ lane stroads. I would rather scoop out my own eyeballs than live like this every day.

i am willing to compromise by just insisting on prison terms for ICE employees. that is the moderate position.
if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

Yesterday was El Tour de Tucson, a huge bike race through the streets of our city.
One cyclist was run off the road by a collision with a javelina and the only thing that could make this more Tucson is if they landed in a cactus. 🌵

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing.
