The point is to get us talking about it. I'd say they succeeded.

Even if this were true (which it isn't), the penalty for bigotry isn't indiscriminately killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

It must be something more substantial in this case, tearing the windshield wiper off wouldn't brick the truck

He got the contract that the unions were about to strike for agreed to. I agree that it's shitty as hell to force them not to strike and I was furious with Biden too, but it seems like the Unions are happy with the results of his actions now so I see no reason I should continue to actively hold that against him.

Second paragraph: "We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement"

He later got them everything they wanted, and they have since endorsed him.

Edit: he later got them the sick days they wanted, on top of pushing through the contract that only a handful of the 12 unions hadn't ratified. I guess it's not technically "everything they wanted" but it's certainly more than the unions that ratified the agreement were expecting.

To be fair, trump chose to deplatform himself in the same way during the primary and that didn't seem to affect his chances.

Yes, but that alternative infrastructure needs to be in place before you can start really discouraging cars with, for example, high gas prices. Raising gas prices to that extent right now in most places outside of a few major cities would just cause people not to be able to get to work.

That's not true, modern golf originated in Scotland where it's considered a game for everybody and played a lot on public land. The most famous course in the world is closed every Sunday and becomes a public park for the day. The elitism came later, and fuck those guys.

This song is heavily featured in Edgerunners, actually. I really like it too.
