They're building student and homeless housing on it and leaving half the park.

The customers in this case are also treating the employee like shit.

The tip absolutely goes to the dasher. The screwed up system aside you are only compounding the exploitation of the delivery driver.

Don't use the app but don't get mad at a system that you're choosing to participate in and actively making worse.

Wow we did not watch the same movie. Ken's arc was excellent and really spoke to me and a lot of men I know. In many ways it overshadowed Barbie's.

The key takeaway for me is that Barbie liberated herself and in doing so lead to Ken's own liberation.

Fatalities are one thing to consider. Another is injuries that can range from minor to life changing.

I don't know the stats on this but pedestrian injuries would be something for policy makers to consider as well.

And in general:

• If deaths are up it's safe to assume injuries are up as well
• Good policy making also involves preventing problems, and educating people on the issue. If 0.2% of deaths is acceptable and trending up at what point do we take action? 0.5%? 1%? 5%?

I don't think that the US even tracks injuries at least I can't find anything from a cursory search. But according to Vancouver RTOR is 13% of all deaths and serious injuries. https://viewpointvancouver.ca/2022/08/23/rethinking-the-right-turn-on-red/

This is literally oil company propaganda. Oil extraction is an absolutely massive humanitarian cost that dwarfs all the cobalt mines in existence.

Cobalt extraction in DRC is an inexcusable humanitarian cost as well. I don't deny that.

But oil companies like to run the line that evironmentalism and exploitation of labor are going hand in hand. The truth is that exploitation and capitalism are the bedfellows and cause here. Just as they are on a much larger scale with oil. Environmentalism has nothing to do with it. Greed, racism, a long history of oppression, and the psychopaths who run our world are to blame. Not "going green".

A proper title and focus of this film would be " Making Money: The toxic cost of capitalism and greed".

I do things about it rather than sitting in the false comfort that I'll be unaffected as a straight, white, male.

Harm reduction is a thing though

You have to be pretty narrow minded and inexperienced to not be capable of imagining a situation where a massive pothole is unavoidable.

Ohh please. They're building 1,100 units of housing for students and 125 unit for the homeless while preserving the park for community use.

These "Save XYZ" people are always the same. They want nothing to change and they consider housing to be displacement.

They're regressivism/conservatism/urban sprawl disguised as progressive action. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Students need housing. The homeless need housing. This is land that UC owns and can use for this. It's expensive enough to build housing as it is.

Only the NYTs could look at all the pro-fossil fuel insanity that has come out of this conference and say "ackshually, it's good". What a trash rag.
