Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gases in the US, and its sector’s workers are under pressure from the massive tech money. Color me not convinced that Mayo is going to fight for the workers versus serve as a negotiator for compromises with VPs at Uber and Lyft.

I'm at risk of being a COVID carrier, still unconfirmed. No contacts feeling symptoms have had access to a test. I *apparently* need, according to this judge, to go to Heights Rec Center, full of old people, to vote for Medicare for All. The irony is not lost upon me.

This is the city that let a cop walk after he conducted a drive-by on a 12 year old in a park.
Although demonstrations began peacefully today, they escalated to criminal activity w/buildings vandalized, cars set on fire and looting of downtown businesses. This is not an acceptable form of protesting. This is violent criminal activity. (1/2)

Public assuming risk of private sector should always be realized in equity but USA ain’t ready for that kind of basic compensation
Even the largest Class I lines don't carry enough insurance to cover worst-case scenarios, and for smaller Class II and Class III railroads-which are required to carry far less insurance than larger rail lines-catastrophic derailment costs are borne mostly by taxpayers.
