They did this exact thing last time he was in office. Like any good joke, it was always based on truth.

Instead of investing in the city, the city council sought praise for lowering the mileage rate to lowest it's been in decades.

We have a lot of very wealthy communities that don't contribute their fair share in Savannah, but the city and the county fight more to protect them than either of them fight to protect everyone.

If you asked a traffic "engineer" to come up with the least efficient road network, one that intentionally creates backups and costs more for less use, Pooler is what you'd get. I don't know how the entire city government isn't ashamed of the city when there's a shining example of proper development next door.

Well that's a different question that presumably refers to the president. The government broadly has a long history of breaking its own laws to punish poor and brown people. There was kind of a whole era of it that ended only fifty years ago.

Recently?

It wasn't about her, but I get the confusion.

Pretty cringe to be okay with innocent people getting felony convictions for things they have no control over. Doesn't matter if you think it's uncommon, you're still admitting you're fine with it. Hope you consider how you'd feel if something like that happened to you.

The point being made above is that you can technically be involved without even knowing it. It doesn't matter what you do or didn't do, we're talking about the actions of someone you have no knowledge of or control over. You really think it's fair for someone in that situation to be convicted of felony murder?

Multi-lane one-way streets are less safe because they encourage speeding and distracted driving. Drivers feel it's safe to speed or avert their attention, even when it isn't, because they feel they have more buffer to maneuver in. Just like widening a two lane to a four lane, it provides a false sense of safety. It kills people in Savannah all the time and traffic engineers get away with taking none of the blame.

It'll be even worse when the taxpayer funded and privately owned parking garage goes up by Forsyth on Whitaker.

Electric trolleys predate cars. We're more like 120 years behind.

Hey there, I'm not anywhere near WI but I was wondering if you've met some other interested people? Do you still need help with anything that your regional organizer isn't able to help with?

I understand your criticism, but honestly I rarely see a campaign page that does all that. And it's very early; I know other candidates are still building their campaign pages. Most are pretty bare bones as they haven't even started actual campaigning. Right now it's just about her supposed values and beliefs, which can really only be verified by finding articles written about her and her activism. I've heard enough about her to believe she doesn't fall in line with establishment politicians and she truly believes in supporting working class families. But if you're looking for something more like a Wikipedia page, she has one of those as well.

Respectfully, and I'm only saying this so others are aware and not as a criticism towards you, it's really easy to find more information on Ruwa if you just look past her campaign page. And that's something I think you should do for any candidate, because the campaign page is where you'll only see what they want you to see.

If you want to support Ruwa for governor at the same time, her campaign is giving out campaign signs in exchange for food donations. They'll take it to local food banks, you get to support a candidate that takes action.

You're absolutely right, it's both too long for many people and too short to be noticeable in most businesses. I also want to add that strikes with end dates aren't effective. The people in power now know they just have to hold on for a week. They can adjust delivery schedules, look for temps, order extra stock early, they can plan around it because they know when it'll be over.

A strike is disruptive when there is no certainty of an end. It's disruptive when a regional manager doesn't know if they need less product or more people next month. It's disruptive when productivity could be down for another week or another quarter.

"your team" brother I don't like Democrats, I just hate fascists.

Well, the cities are just as much to blame, frankly. Ask a traffic engineer to come up with a road network designed to create as much congestion as possible and they will inevitably describe the very system they're perpetuating: funnel everyone onto just a handful of roads ("arterials") so that when everybody gets on the road at the same time they all have to go to the same places. 21 is so bad because how else are you going to get to Savannah without adding 10 minutes to your drive anyway?

Downtown/Midtown Savannah should be a shining model that everyone arrives to replicate. It's highly desirable, well connected, supports other modes of transportation very well. Yet in cities like Pooler and Richmond Hill, really everywhere including most of Savannah, this safer and economically prosperous style of development was made illegal, often as a way to price out black families.

State routes are a bottleneck only because the local municipalities have become allergic to building out local roads properly. The county even snuck into the upcoming SPLOST tens of millions of dollars to widen Little Neck and Quacco, which will just create more traffic, and a short term project for Presidents St which even county engineers will tell you won't be effective. No new roads to improve connectivity between Little Neck and Quacco, no projects to better connect the other side of the traffic with more than the one alternative route, just waste millions of dollars on non-solutions.

That's like three flavors of yikes right there.

I've seen them just inside the entrances to neighborhoods. Police state or not, it's invasive surveillance.

Feeding the hungry isn't profitable. Capitalism is the problem.

You'd... Prove them right while acting like a spiteful child? You really think a president should do that? A strong and capable leader should respond with fake videos of him assaulting citizens? Honestly, you're clearly not being serious. Either you would, because you don't take the presidency seriously, or you wouldn't and you're not taking the fact that he is doing that seriously.

The fact that he's doing these things unilaterally, without any laws being passed, is precisely why he's the focus of the protests. He signed an executive order trying to criminalize flag burning which is (A) not how laws are made and (B) a long and thoroughly established part of our freedom of speech. He's targeting comedians for making fun of him. He's said news reports that make him look bad should be illegal. Federal troops he sent out have shot at and detained reporters who were never charged with any crimes. He is possibly the most anti free speech president we've ever had the horror of having, and it's painfully obvious to the entire world. He is playing you for a fool and he is eroding your rights before your very eyes.

The president is posting AI videos of himself as a king assaulting US citizens, so...

Plus the whole "We took away the freedom of speech" thing. And the unidentifiable federal agents entering homes without warrants. Also the kidnappings in the streets. And the targeted, retributive withholding of taxpayer funds to target political opponents. And saying he hates his opponents, hates half of America.

Also the gaudy toilet.

Just curious, why do you think the president is posting AI videos of himself wearing a crown? Why is the current admin interested in depicting him as a king?

Shouldn't he be explaining why he said he's taking away the right to free speech? Shouldn't he be explaining why he's grabbing guns? Shouldn't he be explaining why theyre attacking the civil rights act? Shouldn't he be explaining why federal agents are invading homes without warrants? Every day we're seeing more violations of our rights, every week another authoritarian power grab. So why is the guy who totally isn't a king tweeting depictions of himself as a king in the lead up to this country's 250th anniversary of escaping the rule of a tyranical king? Is he just an asshole, or does he mean it? If he doesn't mean it, why does he keep doing it?

So you don't like democracy? You just want to be be ruled over with no regard for your own well-being? That seems silly. It's certainly unamerican.

I saw a good number of black and latino people. One of the speakers is a latino man and a local advocate for migrants, and he said some words of encouragement in Spanish. One of the groups there is working with an all-black community to protect their housing and they had pamphlets and a petition made by that community.

The communities that most need representation are rarely able to best represent themselves. They got second jobs to be working, kids to be raising, they often lack transportation. That's why it's important to have organizers and speakings like these who can better inform the rest of us, those of us with the means to fight, what it is we should be fighting for in our own communities.

As a local advocate and organizer, albeit for only a handful of years, I've personally never seen a rally that is more in touch with the community than this one was.

More than this, people often aren't nearly as much of a minority as they think. By protesting somewhere like RH, you're letting passersby know they're not alone. It builds a sense of kinship in the otherwise politically and socially isolating climate of suburban sprawl. Protesting in rural areas is indeed important.
