VikingofRock posted:This is great to see. The quoted activist is 100% right that we should ban turning right on red, as well, but I think that's a lot harder of a political sell for now. I'd also like to see more pedestrianized streets, more bus lanes, wider sidewalks, better protected bike lanes, less driveways on busy streets, and a hundred other little reforms to make it more pleasant to not drive everywhere. Luckily, it seems like this is becoming the Democratic consensus, with both federal and state Democrats pushing for these sorts of reforms. No such thing as Right On Red in NYC, plus universal speed limit of 25 unless otherwise posted. Ofc it doesn't stop everything, but it helps a lot.

haveblue posted:It says in the memo this is the result of each base holding its own local process drat, that's like the best possible way to do this, too. I was involved in the renaming of a city park that was named after a slave holder and minor signatory of the declaration of independence. We got that renamed after a historic Black woman from the area, and now the park flies a pan-African flag.

Quorum posted:I actually know a little about this as I'm connected to one of the installations that's getting renamed! They did do local panels, both on their own and with members of the DoD Naming Commission (a new thing set up by Congressional mandate to handle this stuff), and the commission collected input and feedback both from the public and the installation community, but ultimately the commission made the pick. They really wanted to name the bases after people, so sadly they didn't go with the other popular suggestion that referenced the local geography. I was actually pretty pleasantly surprised that even most of the crusty rednecks weren't too bothered by the renaming, they just talked about how much they care about the place and want it to have a name that's fitting. I suppose that saves us from Basey McBase Face.

Zwabu posted:Re Warnock/Walker race, doesn't Walker's old girlfriend remaining anonymous seriously limit any potential impact her story could have? I mean the accusers in the Roy Moore election came public and he still almost won. I mean, mother of one of his children isn't exactly anonymous, even if we protect her direct identity. Have we discussed how she's come forward saying he pressured her to have a second abortion?

FlamingLiberal posted:So the debt forgiveness site is live, just FYI for those who qualify (if you're not sure, at the bottom of the webpage it gives you more info) Holy poo poo. This is absolutely the way that services should be provided. I got 10,000 knocked off my debt with less than a dozen questions. One time, minimal effort, let people go on with their lives. This form should be an example for how government service should operate: minimal input for maximum impact. Imagine if people seeking FEMA relief or asylum could be assisted so easily. A somewhat better world is possible. Leon Sumbitches fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Oct 15, 2022 |

Fister Roboto posted:I think that the US should help Haiti with money and food and other humanitarian care, and not anything to do with guns and troops. My Haitian friend would disagree. He told me that Clinton sending food aid in the form of cheap rice in the 90s was directly responsible for all the farmers going out of business, creating a nation that was no longer self sufficient. That ship has sailed, but check your assumption that "food and other humanitarian care" is universally beneficial.
