He may even build a BIKE LANE!!

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 61 points 6 days ago

COMMIE BASTARD

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Bike lanes suck.

They're better than no bike infrastructure at all, but they're still suck city compared to dedicated bike paths with physical barriers between cyclists/cars and even cyclists/pedestrians.

[–] motionofethre@piefed.social 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck. Don't tell me those commie Demoncrats voted you into office too!!!!!??

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (5 children)

I'd build those gosh darned commie railways, reduce roads* by a lane to make real dedicated bikeways and build euro style 4-5 story apartment blocks with retail on the ground floor and make it all walkable!

muahahahahah!

* Roads being Roads, not Streets or Highways.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

For someone named lane, you seem awfully anti lane…

Also, yes please to all of your filthy commie ideas.

they suck on stroads, yes. they're mostly fine in tight downtown areas alongside a single vehicle lane.

I think most people refer to physically separated bike paths that share the same road surface as bike lanes. personally, I don't really like completely separate bike paths (around here, most commonly multi use paths), because they're not actually designed as infrastructure, but as recreation, so connections and directness are poor.

but, yes, just tossing in a bike lane is not the proper solution, it's a bandaid on the way to a complete infrastructure replan. and fuck you Ontario for blocking them and ripping them out

Unprotected bike lanes are actually worse than nothing so yeah.

I miss living on the Toronto harbourfront and being able to bike an hour in either direction along the lake with very minimal interactions with cars..

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 days ago

the other day i watched a car slip into the bike lane for 100yards. good thing cyclists around here know better than to take the road.

Meanwhile in California, over 50% of the population voted against taxing billionaires via Prop 40. I don't understand that one at all. The fear mongering worked, I guess.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 31 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah well the standard line they always trot out whenever anybody starts talking about taxing billionaires is the threat of the billionaires leaving. The thing is, if they were actually prepared to do that they wouldn't spend all the money fighting it, they would just wait until it happened, and then leave.

Billionaires don't really care about tax, it's like the least expensive thing they spend money on in a year. They'll quite happily spend 10,000 times as much on a yacht, it's like asking an average earner if they would consider moving to get out of paying a 40 cent annual surcharge.

[–] ElDuderino@lemmus.org 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Billionaires don’t really care about tax,

I think they do. Money going to tax is under public control and cannot be used to buy influence.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 9 points 6 days ago

Yep, Billionaires are where they are. In general, they do not move when tax laws change (of all billionaires moving per year, only a single digit percentage can be brought in connection with wealth taxes)

[–] meme_historian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 days ago

Probably cause half the people currently sleeping in their car in Californian cities are worried how it'll affect them eventually when they finally get their start-up off the ground and make their first billion

[–] cloudshouter@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

The very shallow take that taxing the rich will make them move somewhere else or hurt jobs. They are already hoarding the money and jobs are based on other factors. If the rich moved around based on taxes, they wouldn’t live in any western countries at all. Terkministan would be the prime destination. They live in places like California and New York because they like it there, otherwise North Dakota would be the new hotspot in the US.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The billionaires bought two fake propositions to cancel out 40, then they pushed endless ads about saying that your retirement, schools, hospitals, etc. woudl be destroyed by yes on 40, no on 41, no on 42.

AKA Capital and its state doing what the enslavers concocted it to do - violently defend their disgusting privilege at the expense of everybody else.

The violence in this case is the attack on healthcare, etc.

They even want federal healthcare for everyone! What other evils will they impose on our society?

gestures wildly toward Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We just call then pharmacy benefit managers in the US, and they have a special exemption to take kickbacks legally

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

PBS isn't about kickbacks, it's just lower price Medicine.

Trump specifically hates our PBS since it 'hurts American pharmaceutical companies' yet the actual US pharma companies love it, since it's a reliable customer

You can see the prices we pay for medicines- https://www.pbs.gov.au/healthpro/explanatory-notes/front/fee

For most medicines in Australia, it's $25, or $7.70 if you have a concession card (HCC/DVA Gold/RHCA), Pharmacies get a set dispense fee (unless it's a dangerous medicine or needs to be compounded, which just add extra set fees) and the Pharma company gets a fixed negotiated amount paid from taxes.

You're looking to put countless insurance brokers, private health care workers and others out of a job while simultaneously decimating the automotive industry, and for what? A brighter, cleaner healthier future for your children?

You monsters.

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Bike lanes??! Bicycles are too dangerous not to mention socialist! So many kids will die there won't be any left to get shot at school!

Look at his LGBTQ tie and Islamic flower, what a leftist.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

We all know that what socialists really want to do fascism, which is why we should always vote for fascists because I like honestly /s

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

omg and those terrorist cheek dots

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago (7 children)

This is unironically how the right sees Trump and his ilk though. Vividly remember a conversation between two family members when one said “why are people mad? He just wants to make America great again.”

Not sure the point I’m trying to make tbh. Just be careful with how we envision “our” candidates in our minds.

[–] ElChinchilla@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Won't be waving a flag with their name on it like a buffoon, that's for damn sure.

[–] zoltanshields@lemmy.zip 17 points 6 days ago

Once I get Talarico's face tattooed on my chest and fly a "Talafreako" flag on the back of my truck every day and wear a "Time To Start Flipping Tables" hat to every Thanksgiving with my family for the next ten years then maybe we can have a cautionary conversation about idolizing politicians.

Unironically being said where Ilive

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 9 points 6 days ago

The radical left fixed my streets and now they're all woke, no potholes or sinkholes or anything. They even sealed the asphalt and repainted the lines, how could they!?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

Clean and safe cities are woke! If we don't sacrifice enough children, the Car God will be angry!

I’ve heard soooo many conservatives saying that “both sides are bad” and yes, I will agree. Within reason both sides are bad, but in all honesty, only one side is protecting pedophiles, starting meaningless wars, and endangering the lives of other people just because of who they want to sleep with and the color of their skin and who they chose to worship.

[–] psycholocomotor_no2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

They aren't all conservatives saying both sides commit evil, in fact, that's a very not conservative thing to believe.

The Democrats are also protecting pedophiles and have started wars and also still complicit in a genocide. They are fucking indistinguishable from outside of America.

When was this mythical version of the Democratic party that didn't involve itself in imperialist wars? Obama it was Syria, Afghanistan, and Yemen, and deportations. Biden it was Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon and more deportations.

They are not our friends (at least they aren't mine) even if they do this stuff less they are not to be supported.

[–] spankysalmon@fedinsfw.app 1 points 4 days ago

So long as not supporting them cannot turn into helping the even worse option. Only an absolute fool allows worse to happen just because there is no 'good' option.

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

To be fair, that's what the Republicans say too. They just mean something very different by those words.

Neither side interprets the spoken words at face value. The moral difference is very much in the underlying ideology, not in these explicit words.
