BrendanWhy the hell, with an enormous electoral mandate, has Michelle Wu abandoned her progressive priorities for Boston? I have ideas: https://write.as/brendanhalpin/whats-wrong-with-michelle-wu
ts πOkay, Beacon Hill. You know election season is here. Some top concerns we have:
CLIMATE
The threat of AI as it's currently (not) defined. (Energy, water cost. Personal data rights...)
Car dependency. We want the freedom to get places without being forced to insure, own, maintain a giant box on wheels.
Housing. Too little. NO to hedge fund, private equity ownership
A secretive State gov that specifically *helps* ICE kidnap our family, colleagues and neighbors π‘
I know hashtags can seem annoying, but theyβre HUGE for finding relevant information and media here. For (a more local) example, #BosPoli and #MAPoli are good for following government happenings, conversation in a part of America. #USPol is for politics more broadly. If you start typing out a hashtag, youβll probably see which variations are more commonly used - in case youβre trying to reach a larger audience. (Note the βiβ in my examples.)
CamelCase is good for accessibility. Hope this helps!

Just me, or is trying to get somewhere in Boston especially hard today? π
Like what is going on with the T?

we don't need the city to organize shovelling meetups π
they could be *paying* folks to clear the snow but these comments are going nowhere bc the city is not in the fediverse #boston #bospoli #snow
if Boston had any heart as a city there'd be more than this weak "strongly worded letter" to keep a T station open so unhoused folks can stay warm in cold weather

I check this periodically and still don't understand why the "typical annual salary" list isn't in order from least to greatest or viceversa
