I can’t even see what Eli Valley draws. at least put some labels. take a page from Garrison, who actually cares about accessibility.

Eli Valley has been on the "pay no mind" list since he was hectoring people into voting for Biden last year.

PoontifexMacksimus posted:Lotta tankie reactionaries ITT hating on the Amazon Sleeping Pods sight unseen... https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-09-16/amazon-s-new-factory-towns-will-lift-the-working-class The campaign against economic inequality has put a bullseye on cities. Local governments are encouraged to raise minimum wages, change their zoning laws and build more housing, particularly in affluent communities that are squeezing out the lower class. But what if you shifted that focus to a different kind of community? Consider these burgeoning new places strung along the interstate and other highways leading away from urban cores, populated by warehouses and fulfillment centers that are being built to serve the needs of e-commerce customers. Let’s call them “factory towns.” These are places where working-class jobs are being created in large numbers and where wages already are rising. They’re not much in the spotlight yet, but making these modern-day company towns more livable for the working class might be a better approach to solving inequality — with a higher likelihood of success — than continuing to fight against entrenched interests in coastal cities and high-cost parts of metro areas. ... Now consider Amazon’s announcement this week that it’s making another big hiring push at its fulfillment centers with jobs paying an average starting wage of $18 an hour — up 20% since 2018. Thinking about the growth of fulfillment and distribution centers in general, maybe these highway warehouse communities with jobs that pay increasingly respectable wages are what the future of the working class looks like. And doesn’t it make sense, then, to think about how we can make these communities better for the people who will live and work there? It starts with making the jobs as high-paying and safe as possible, whether that can be done by running labor markets hot, or perhaps with unionization or the threat of it. If these sorts of jobs get to an average wage of $20 an hour then a household with 1.5 full-time workers in it would make $60,000 a year with benefits. People can argue about what constitutes a reasonable working class lifestyle, but that would seem to offer the prospect for a much better existence than service workers had a decade ago, particularly considering lower housing costs on the outskirts of metro areas. People can live close to work with shorter commutes — plus the possibility of employer-provided shuttle buses — when their jobs are in a cheaper, less-crowded part of a metro area. If there's a push to increase density by building affordable apartments or townhomes for workers, there’s less likely to be wealthy homeowners mobilizing to stop it, since those sorts of homeowners probably will live closer to the city core. As wages rise and more jobs are created at warehouses and distributions hubs, you'll get a secondary increase in economic activity as amenities like retail and dining are built close by to appeal to the workforce. These new factory towns will presumably have new issues that need addressing, such as adequate amounts of housing, schools and healthcare facilities. But the point is that we need to be thinking about what sorts of communities are being created by the growth of U.S. e-commerce infrastructure, and what they’ll need to thrive. To urbanists, contemplating the potential of the area surrounding Interstate 75 in Ocala, Florida, outside of Orlando might not be as sexy as upzoning and building transit in San Francisco, but it's these types of new communities that are going to be the future of a large segment of the working class.

the texas stuff is such a perfect example of how the democratic party works now.
power is only wielded when it leads to fundraising, fundraising is more important than success, defending conservative democrats help create fundraising opportunities, and losing down ballot in exchange for better fundraising is seen as a victory.

It came up in another thread recently and apparently it ends pretty stupidly but idk. Lots of little inexplicable stuff that could have been interesting but didn’t seem well executed Hm, sucks. To my mind the only really fruitful way to interface with Lovecraft poo poo is to start by making the racist subtext text and see what that can tell you about its place in the greater culture. It's been done well elsewhere; I guess they didn't succeed in making it cohesive and meaningful?

MA politics has a lot of carpetbaggers because people go to college there and when they're done they decide to try to run it instead of going home see: Mitt Romney, who came to MA to go to *shudder* Harvard Business School and ended up being governor

Yeowch!!! My Balls!!! posted:he's a fun character, in some respects. most of the time, 'i gotta own the goddamn bernie bros' comes from a position of defensiveness: someone trying to retaliate against the implicit criticism of the liberal order as it presently exists. the skeleton key for this is the whining about "nothing matters" posting. if the things that they, personally care about do not matter, NOTHING must matter, therefore people arguing that the things they care about don't matter must just be trolling. My read is actually different, in that I think HAU genuinely doesn't give a poo poo. He doesn't have the same "alarmed and upset that leftists are allowed to post"/"experiencing cognitive dissonance" feeling that you get from a lot of others, and just seems to delight in talking about how awesome the Democrats are to "trigger the Marxists" or something. "Attacking other people for being powerless" is the sort of thing that isn't really coherent with any common idea of "being a good person"; it's the sort of thing you do if the only thing you really care about is making fun of the leftists.
