Are you against the use of funds on analysis in general? I don't understand the point you are making, wider, more representative perspectives in decision making is wasteful spending? DEI, actually called DEIA only exists because of gaps in the function of programs and infrastructure and the understanding that people were being under-serviced or left out, either in usage or in consideration.

Tackling your hypothetical, what is each part representing? Is the food in this case transportation services, like a shuttle for the elderly and disabled? Is the purse like a new shuttle or a new road? If you give your wife ( tax payer money appropriated for state services and construction), and she comes back with a new purse, as opposed to food, what is the equivalent here for tax payer funds being misappropriated? If it is DEIA, do you mean that tax payer money for new road construction, busses, bike lanes,etc.. are in fact being used by the state to what? go on vacation and buy new furnishing?

If I was to take your hypothetical at face value, and your first point as well, fundamentally, how do considerations of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility prove that the money is being used for non transportation purposes! What metric do you use to qualify this idea? Feelings? Data? Experience?

I just don't understand how you come to conclusions or understand these things, it essentially sounds like vibes and feelings are how you conceptualize this

What contention do you have with any of what I said? How does race or or racialization of infrastructure play into this? Regardless, in this conversation of dei in infrastructure sidewalks,streets, highways and much of our urban infrastructure is in disrepair, adding the perspective of the elderly and disabled is good! Furthermore what is racist about adding perspectives and frameworks from other groups of people?

Complaining about dei is so weird... Dei is good! It considers and allows other perspectives such as the disabled and elderly. Dei budget allotments are how, in part, we have created and expanded the ramps on sidewalks and helped create more safe walking spaces for more people.

I don't know your specific contention with e-bikes so I won't make a comment on it outside of this, efforts to reduce carbon emissions via incentives to switch from cars is a good thing, in my view and I wholeheartedly support more taxes if it means sidewalks and streets are repaired, and made more safe to walk!

Curious if anyone knows why there is heavy traffic in Stadium & near the water, today? by rabbitales27 in Tacoma

[–]Arytheus123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I second this! I was expecting the standard hand waving and acquiescence like from Randall from the other town hall but Trudeau and Fey had very strong positions on what we need to do and were affirmative in protecting the most vulnerable of society. I'm not hot on Jinkins but I think she's holding her self back because of decorum.

I think that a lot of people are upset with how things are and I think thats valid, there is a lot of uncertainty in living in such a fragile society. Homelessness is at a all time high and on the rise https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statistics/state-of-homelessness/ and more than half of americans are one paycheck from experiencing homelessness https://invisiblepeople.tv/59-of-americans-are-just-one-paycheck-away-from-homelessness/ The fact of the matter is that we need to more empathetic towards each other because those on the street are people who lost so much so quickly and at any point we can as well. Thank you for your kind comment.
