First off, this couple is hilarious and I want to subscribe to their podcast and be friends with them.

oh what, so we're supposed to unionize at every building a car crashes into in Columbus? come on now
oftunion.bsky.social Ohio Federation of Teachers @oftunion.bsky.social · 1d
Do you remember when a car crashed into @columbuslibrary.bsky.social Parsons through a glass wall?
The next day, staff worked with plywood covering the broken wall & w/out reassurance about the structural integrity of the building.
CML workers are forming a union to have input on workplace safety.
Graphic with a photo of AJ, a Customer Services Specialist at CML Parsons Branch, with this quote: “For too long, CML has prioritized business-as-usual over employee health and wellbeing. When a car struck the Parsons Branch building earlier this year after closing on a Saturday, my coworkers were made to work the following day, a four hour Sunday shift, with a gaping hole in the wall covered by a single sheet of plywood. This seemed to pass without little reassurance of the structural integrity of our building or any consideration of the traumas such an incident would invoke. Staff deserve a seat at the table and a voice to advocate for safety measures when it’s our wellbeing at stake.” A photo of a car crashed through the CML Parsons Branch, the glass wall is demolished and half of the car is inside the building.

Cars driving into buildings happens disturbingly often in Columbus. When that happens, workers should not be forced to work in a potentially unsafe building.

A reminder that @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social always brings up, you can call a stadium whatever you want. You don’t have to do free advertising for a corporation.

i discovered this calculator showing financial differences between owning a car vs not

going car free can make you a millionaire!

bicycleuniverse.com/car-free-mil...
You're paying more for your car than you think. A typical American who goes car-free for 35 years can save over a million dollars, even adjusted for inflation, and even if they pay for taxi, bus, and car-share trips often. Use the calculator to find how much you can save in your particular situation. Yes, not everyone can go car-free, but more can do it than would care to admit.
