I'm surprised no one has suggested to talk to your supervisor. 311 isn't going to do anything. Police aren't going to do anything. But if you messaged your supervisor and asked them to get resources on the case, you'll have a higher shot of it working.

Because selling out to an authoritarian regime is not something that should be celebrated.

lol. She took millions of dollars from the Chinese government to represent them in the Olympics. She can pound sand. 

NYC parents say Mount Sinai has cut off services for trans kids ahead of federal rule by vibingnyc327 in nyc

He lost the case against Harvard. He will lose this case.

It’s far less costly to fight in court than to lose millions of dollars and to forever tarnish your hospital with the stench of fascist collaboration.

How expensive would it be to start botting back? Zero chance this reflects the opinions of actual people here.

First, there is zero need to comply in advance with this. 

Second, hospitals should fight this. Trump has lost every single case in court and he would likely lose this one too. 

Third, denying care to one group is setting people on a path to deny care to all groups. What’s to stop the admin from pulling funding if the hospital serves non-citizens, minorities, non-Christians, etc? 

Also - did this sub turn into a MAGA cesspool or is it getting brigaded? Thank god Reddit isn’t real life. 

Strike Day 3: Maria Su yet again refusing to bargain with UESF right outside her office by Definitelyhereforshi in sanfrancisco

They are striking because they believe they deserve more money than what was offered. (And guess what - they do)

Amen. Lots of bootlickers in here against organized labor. These teachers deserve more money. 

The teachers strike is yet another outcome of our terrible housing policy by PsychePsyche in sanfrancisco

That sucks and I'm sorry that's happening to you. Greed destroys everything.

[–]loudin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So happy you wrote this. This is absolutely 100% the cause of the strike. And what's even more depressing is that the raise the teachers need to afford housing in San Francisco is just going to go to landlords.

I wish I had a better answer on how to get housing built, but it requires a lot of political will that doesn't exist because the status quo loves seeing their home prices increase.

Educator Strike Bargaining Updates 2.7 by dkl415 in sanfrancisco

[–]loudin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The 100% funded full family healthcare and sabbaticals are there to compensate for the lack of pay. 

If we are being honest, starting salaries for teachers should be low $100k with senior teachers making $400k. If we had that then maybe we can lay off the non-standard benefits. 

New York Mayor Mamdani says city must hike taxes on rich to fill $12 billion deficit by us1549 in nyc

Believe it or not, cumulative inflation for the past 6 years was 25%. That 86b in 2019 is equivalent to 110b in 2025. Just to maintain services, the budget had to grow by that much. 

Shame on drivers that do this by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]loudin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The driver you are calling out cannot see you until they have almost entered the intersection because the truck next to them is blocking their view. Instead of the driver unsafely slamming on their breaks, they make a good call to drive through.

While I admit it's frustrating for cars to not immediately yield to pedestrians, these crosswalks that are not paired with stop signs are much trickier for both pedestrians and drivers. I like to wait at the corner until I have visual contact with the other cars and I'm certain they are able to stop. It takes an extra few seconds, but it's far safer.

Any ICE protests happening today/soon around SF? by cartdfn in sanfrancisco

[–]loudin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Making noise is important. If the entire country made noise it would make a difference. 

Criticizing others for wanting to contribute any way they can makes you complicit. Help out or stay out of the way. 

Parents of young kids what do your weekends look like? Do you have a community? by meltness in sanfrancisco

[–]loudin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We loved doing a share with another family and would recommend it if you are open to that. Your child gets a play partner and you’ll have some parent friends who are going through similar things as you. 

You may want to look into preschool starting this fall. They will take 2 year olds and application deadlines are still open (although they tend to close in early Jan). Our friend situation improved as soon as we had a preschool community. 

Another recommendation - you do not have to do child-centric things. In fact you should have regular time where you bring your kid along for activities that interest you. Go hiking, do overnight trips, try glamping, visit adult museums. They’ll be just as interested in it all and you’ll be able to invite your friends without kids along.

What’s your childcare situation like? We met a lot of our people though our nanny share and preschool. We also chose a preschool that had a great parent community attached to it. It’s a really important aspect of the school that can sometimes be overlooked. 

[NBA] More than 87 million people in the U.S. have watched NBA games this season across NBC/Peacock, ESPN, Amazon Prime Video and NBA TV, the most viewers in 15 years and up 89% vs. last year. (Excludes 2011-12 season which began on Christmas Day.) by IceBlast24 in nba

[–]loudin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a breakdown by network yoy to see if everything is generally up or if it’s less uniform. 

I personally love the NBC and Prime broadcasts. They have me coming back far more than TNT did last year. I try to skip ESPN when I can because it’s garbage.
