I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

If the left even thought about blocking traffic to this extent the entire town would smell like tear gas and the NYT would already have written two op-eds about this Not Being The Right Way Instead, ambulances are creeping through at like 2mph, sirens blaring, as everyone gets soaked

These changes would indeed improve road safety but there’s a 0% chance any city would adopt them or ban SUVs.
Some ideas for improving road safety that can be implemented in US cities without modifying infrastructure: • No cars moving through the intersection when pedestrians have a "walk" signal. • No turn on red. • 20 mph speed limit. • Leading pedestrian interval for cyclists. Others?

If you are under 35 and you see this post, please respond yes or no as to whether you recognize the name Alfred E. Neuman. Be honest. I’m so curious about this.
Trump refers to Talarico as “Alfred E. Neuman,” and ... jeez. I get it, but I also remember our 3rd-grade teacher interrupting class to tell us that JFK had been assassinated.

villainizing the ultra-wealthy is like pickling a pickle; you don't need to do that, it's already been done for you

JD Vance: "Fighting fraud in DC is a little bit like fishing in a barrel with a nuclear weapon. Every day my staff brings me new reports of the ways you're being defrauded. You should not be able to steal from all of you and give it to fraudsters."

The American revolution is best understood by the American people as an uprising by the people against a wealthy elite who taxed the people and denied them equal representation. If this is the fight the right wants to have against AOC. Let’s. Fucking. Have. It. The tea is in the harbor.
Fox News vs the man the American Revolutionaries were revolting against

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.
Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.
