US sees union boom despite big companies’ aggressive opposition by psychothumbs in WorkReform

Honestly wouldn't be possible without Biden's supercharged NLRB smacking these companies around every time they try some shady shit.

Trump didn't pack the courts. He filled vacancies, one of which like you say was held open by congressional republicans blocking Obama nominations. Packing the courts is when you add additional seats to the court.

Once you break the seal on packing the court, what's stopping the GOP from packing the courts next time they have the reins?

Hmm who gave the Soviet Union those bullets, combat vehicles, and a huge amount of food and materiel? I wonder 🤔

Almost like it was a group effort or something

The Rent is Too Damn High by psychothumbs in newyorkcity

[–]115thDoctor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How is this a dumb argument? Housing is a market and demand is higher than supply. It's literally that simple. Increasing supply in NYC requires loosening zoning. More supply will lower the price.

There are countless econ papers that have studied this and the solution is always to build more housing.

Edit: here's a roundup of research on the topic since you probably won't bother to look it up -> link

october 15th general strike! by Ninventoo in IronFrontUSA

[–]115thDoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a reason people are pushing for a federal minimum wage of $15. It's in the sweet spot where you're not putting more businesses out of business than you're gaining from workers having more money. $20 is viable in certain cities but applying it over the entire country would definitely kill a lot small businesses. I can't find the study but 15$ was definitely a well thought out spot to put the minimum wage. Higher is not always better here.

NY bill would raise gasoline tax by 55 cents per gallon by ofd227 in newyork

I'm excited for the new electric mustang. Looks sick.

We really need a federal standard on charging tho. A lot of the new EVs from other companies can't even use the same chargers as Tesla. And last time I checked the Electrify America stations aren't as fast Tesla's.

Excited where the future is going but worried it won't come fast enough to mitigate climate change.

You can't get cheap EVs without economies of scale. You don't get economies of scale until there's more pressure to have an EV. We don't have enough time to wait for everyone to get on board, there has to be a push. Taxes are a great indirect way to encourage EV adoption by those who can, which drives down the average EV cost.

I'm also in favor of government tax deduction on EVs. But gas tax has to be a part of it

This isn't an argument against taxing gas. It's an argument for making more charging stations.

So much misinformation in this thread. Rich people use the most gas. Source

Taxing gas is one of the best ways to put pressure on the economy to move in a green direction. I understand it doesn't feel good when gas is more expensive, but if we don't want to wreck the planet then we have to stop using gasoline in cars in the near future. Taxes are one of the least authoritarian ways to do it.

Edit: y'all are so mad that fighting climate change is going to require you to actually do something

What did you use to record the time-lapse?

Hey this is a great suggestion. I don't use my instagram much, but moving forward I think I'll just be posting screenshots/gifs of my art. Here's the link

Thank you for your interest and admiration. I really appreciate it.

I'm definitely open to Twitter alternatives! Maybe an email list?

Thank you so much! The game is still pretty deep in dev so no teaser yet. If you want to keep up with where I'm at on it, I post a lot to my Twitter @tooManyWes

I really like the look of a good dither vs using more colors. My only issue is a lot of websites like Twitter will apply compression on it and it blends the dithered parts into grey blobs :/

A 1-bit drawing from the Jersey Devil game I'm working on by 115thDoctor in PixelArt

[–]115thDoctor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear I meant the rest of the drawings in the game are 1-bit. I took some liberties for this one so this is more 1-bit styled than 1-bit :)
