flying regularly is a PMC activity and therefore investing in infrastructure to provide a more affordable and less environmentally destructive alternative to it is... bad? Yes you're wrong

thankfully it doesn't matter since mayo pete won't do poo poo about this, or anything

The Claim: 'Mayor Pete' Buttigieg hasn't accomplished anything as Transit Sec

We rate this claim: False

What's True: Pete Buttigieg was appointed and confirmed as President Biden's Transit Secretary.

What's False: When was the last time you saw a picture of Champ in the White House?

its kind of stupid to imagine we would have high speed rail in america but everything else would be the same and you wouldnt be able to afford it. it wont happen unless there is a socialist government of some sort, and under that reality you wouldnt be priced out of it.

the reality is that the united states of america will probably never undertake a major infrastructure project, ever again, until the current constitutional system collapses, because this is a fundamentally dying and paralyzed political environment

It's so dishonest. Does anyone actually believe that giving families 3K per kid is "lifting them out of poverty"? $3,000 is a couple month's rent, a car repair, a trip to the ER. After the money is spent, people will still be working for starvation wages. They still won't have good health insurance. They'll still owe on their student loans and credit card debt.

Not to mention that this bill is supposed to be pandemic relief, compensating people for what they've lost due to massive unemployment and the economy going in the shitter. And it's not even adequate for that. I'm sure there are people who've been unemployed for a year who are in the hole way more than $3,000 even with unemployment, right? This is a band-aid, and of course it's better than nothing, but "ending poverty" lol come the gently caress on.

the more crucial bad part is that it does nothing for childless poor adults who are still employed, minimum wage or otherwise.

it's literally means-testing by parental status, in which families making $150k/year are given cash and childless adults making $15k/year aren't given anything (beyond the $1400).

The truth of the matter is that Andrew Cuomo is one the major leaders of the Democratic Party and so yes, these attacks are being leveraged by Republicans to attack Democrats. Is that fair? No. But that's politics, it isn't fair. So we have to be realistic about how much platforming these accusations are helping Republicans.

This isn't about any one person, this is about the future of the nation after all. We have to do what's best for America even if a broken clock is right in this one instance.

USPol is also a very specific manifestation of liberalism that is relevant to the generation of most of the people on these forums. It's the specific liberalism of "the 30-something PMC millennial."

My view of things is that a lot of the SA user base can basically be described as people who started posting around college age and then, over the next 10+ years, split politically based off of class. Like some people transitioned from college to high paying law/finance/tech jobs, while others were not so fortunate, and this is part of why there's such a political split.

Fuligin posted:

I initially started due to browsing the forums at an internship in college and a supervisor came in and I realized that a lot of SA avatars are not good to have on during work (someone had a red text avatar that said "BIG AND BLACK" and I told my supervisor I was browsing a finess forum, which was technically true because I was reading the SA fitness/diet subforum).

I think one of the biggest times it confused me is when Ze Pollack's username was changed to Yeowch My Balls (them being forum-banned from D&D is also one of the reasons why I lost interest in posting there - they were the best at zeroing in on the specific ways posters were bad).
