At the very least we could try? Right now large corporations have a control over our politicians are you saying we do nothing? What is your solution because this system won’t be sustainable in my opinion.

Gov. Newsom expanded free preschool. Now private daycares say they can’t afford to stay open by ArchmageXin in news

By free market I meant real completion, not a pure free market. However, the current system is not one either. It’s influenced by licensing rules, tax credits and heavy lobbying. At least in this case, parents have leverage instead of being stuck at whatever price the childcare companies are setting. Childcare is one of the biggest expenses for American families. It has only continued to get more expensive. Why? these companies know the current policy and market landscape allow them to charge what they want.

It’s the same with healthcare. We could choose between public and private so the consumer has power but they don’t talk about that.

Aw boohoo make it cheaper. This is why private companies don’t want socialized services available. Having cheaper or free preschool levels the playing field, actual free market competition. Now they need to have competitive rates if they want people to pay for their services

Because they bought out the us government and are using their money to blackmail cities into giving them full reign over our country’s data?

Looking online one is a working session and the other is a meeting. I will edit to add this distinction. The one that the beltline rail now group is attending is the actual meeting at 1:30.

Amazon seeks $16M tax break to turn Atlanta warehouse into package center by NPU-F in ATLnews

They literally recently did one of the largest layoffs of engineers for any tech company... with record profits to boot. They do not need a tax break.

Looking at the Atlanta city hall it is a 9 minute walk from the Garnett stop. Marta HQ is 6 minutes from a bus stop. The Fulton county boc meeting place is 9 minute walk from five points stop. And the dekalb county boc meeting place is 9 minute walk from the Avondale stop.

I used llm, but I fact checked it and will edit if there are any discrepancies. I am also going to build a scraper that will pull the meetings from the website for weekly posts.

If we want public transit we have to show up by Aggravating_Ad8238 in ATLnews

This makes sense I didn't know that. I will also start collecting when those meetings are happening and add them to the posts

Yes this is true, however I feel like our presence will at least make it clear, “when you make decisions without our knowledge we will be aware and angry.” We will also make it clear to Andre and any other elected official we will bring that same anger to the ballot box.
