It does... as an alternative to "the Black Church" they could have just said "Black Churches" and it'd sound a lot less awkward.

We got enough water shortages up here already.

I think he's a flat earther but I really don't care.

The real scoop is that Trump himself wore a bluetooth communication device throughout the debate - the tell tale signs of subtle vibrations have been confirmed by independent experts - I've seen talk of this before on Lemmy but it seems like MSM have been suppressing this story... yet another case of conservative bias.

It's been credibly pointed out elsewhere that Trump pulled a Hans Neimann

It's well known that Donald Trump was using a bluetooth butt plug during the debate [...]

Okay, congratulations to fucking CNN for running this - I saw the title and expected it was a Jacobin or VOA article because the mainstream outlets are usually so fucking tame. I'm glad to see CNN can occasionally deliver actual journalism.

These fucks are bitching about this while their candidates openly encourage domestic terrorism against Haitians.

Fuck 'em.

As opposed to Rishi Sunak who received hundreds of millions of pounds of gifts in the form of self interested tax breaks?

Who the fuck cares about the pittance that Starmer is getting.

I do support building out social housing - Austria is an excellent example of how to do it well... but these houses don't exist yet so I have concerns about how public transit would be until they did - lowering the cost and adding more provincial funding today would help immediately.

They've had to hire three new interns just to carry around my enormous pile of tabs.

Public transit should be nearly free - but I do think there's one main argument in favor of keeping it from being completely free - safety. Without a token charge, and with a lack of adequate shelters, busses are one of the most reliable shelters from weather and if folks flock to it to stay cool/dry/warm then it'll make it feel less safe especially for vulnerable folks including single women and the elderly.

We absolutely need to move beyond this dumbass neoliberal idea that public transit should be self funding, though.
