Under the Biden administration the Democrats had exactly 50 votes of 100 in the Senate if you factored in some very conservative Democrats who held everything up. If you don’t want compromise you do need to vote in enough Dems to avoid Joe Manchin being able to hold everything up.
Y’all need to stop voting in paralyzed governments and then complaining they compromise and don’t do anything.
Edit: This was not a fillibuster issue as they were always struggling to get 51 votes. And no, primarying Manchin was not the solution as the replacement would have just lost to a Republican who would have voted for Mitch McConnell as senate majority leader. Holding the Senate in a useful manner requires some margin.
A/B partitions are an improvement.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco areaEnglish
1·6 months agoBART, Muni and others are staring down the gun of drastic cuts right now due to COVID gutting their finances. The feds won’t help and the state is preparing to have the budget gutted by the Trump administration and is looking for things to cut that won’t hurt (these generally don’t exist). I find more expensive programs unlikely right now.
I’m just hoping BART doesn’t collapse at this point

18·6 months agoEdit the listed fare in the post is nearly 4x the actual fare.
As it turns out it doesn’t actually cost that much on regular transit, there’s an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it’s an “airport train”.
If she’s not going to an airport (the pictured station is in SF and not SFO) this is just strait up wrong. As a regular BART rider who’s used transbay service for years BART can’t tell what trains you ride. They bill purely on the entry and exit station. I’ve pulled some transfers that on other systems would be wildly expensive to work around occasional systemwide issues without increased cost.
Within SF it costs the fixed Muni rate which is a lot cheaper. It is disturbingly fast and reliable especially as parts of the system date from the Nixon administration. It can be annoying to get to and from though.
Edit: The furthest fare from Oakland (Coliseum) to the station in the photograph (Montgomery) is 5.20. Using the OAK connector does bring it up to 12.65. Going to SFO from Coliseum is 12.10. Going for some reason airport to airport is 19.55. Not sure where she got $16 from.
There are fern trees, conifer trees, and flowering trees. Where are my moss trees?

In fairness they do this with ISIS videos too. It’s hard to preserve warcrimes evidence that gets posted to social media no matter who committed it as every platform just deletes it. We need government policy here
