Opinion | Philly’s violence crisis can be fixed by speeding up the damn trash.
by Stu Bykobotsky
On my personal channel I also did another one that is basically a rant about the US failure to use anti-trust in the Pharmacy/PBM industry and is also pretty political: https://youtu.be/xbARNpXH7jI
@skyfaller @sc68cal sounds good
@skyfaller @sc68cal awesome. If SpotLight PA isn't added already, should consider adding them to that same classification
@skyfaller pro-publica - huffpost is trash, bbc is not as good as everyone in america thinks
@phillynews they'll just use the emergency declaration to unlock more funding and funnel it to ineffective anti-violence programs that enriches cronies

Philly has so many talented people in city government and at places like SEPTA and the BCGP, and it’s rough to watch them get beaten down by a political culture that believes that “better” isn’t possible, let alone anything greater.
The streeteries were an opportunity for Philly to become *the* dining capital of America. A city with an al fresco scene to rival Paris or Rome. A magnet for every last New York and DC chef without a trust fund.
And the city threw it away so casually! For parking!!
@mheadd @AlexJimenez they also need to go after RealPage - https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-realpage-lawmakers-collusion
Elon Musk sharing meme featuring a red and black caricature (symbolic for the anarchist movement) that puts forward far-Right, anti-Semitic conspiracy that opposition to Musk is really just service to the Jewish billionaire George Soros.
Read our statement on Musk here:
"Like the Mercers before him and now Kanye West, Musk represents a segment of the billionaire class that is willing to align itself with the fascist-Right. This reflects the outright nihilism that this camp sells to its followers. This is why Musk set his sights on those reporting on grassroots movements as soon as he gained control of Twitter. Musk isn’t here to shake things up, but to preserve his position at the top."

P.S. That's the tame version.
@phillynews frantically rebooting it whispering "c'mon baby, don't do this to me"
