Public transportation in Delaware is an absolute quagmire. I depend on it and there’s no accountability for drivers that show up 10 minutes or more early or very late. They get a slap on the wrist and a , “Don’t do that again! Bad!” Meanwhile the consequences for me are real. I face punishment for being late. To avoid being late, I must take Uber or Lyft. Being poor is not easy.

"On #openprotocols, individual providers may address threats within their own systems, but lack the network-wide capacity to address coordinated activity across infrastructures or protocols. This is a gap that commercial actors have little incentive to address…
This points to the safety and integrity of the #publicsquare being coordinated as a critical #publicfunction, backed by #publicfunding. The practical implication is a core of publicly provisioned infrastructure."

A European Citizens' Initiative calls for publicly funded social media. But copying the same centralized, surveillance-based model would repeat the harms. Public money deserves a more ambitious target.

Skriver tillsammans med företrädare för Vänsterpartiet i Sorsele, Umeå och från Västerbotten om regeringens politik mot kommuner och regioner och vad det innebär i skatteorättvisor och ojämlik samhällsservice. #vänsterpartiet #publicfunding #taxes https://www.vk.se/2025-09-11/debatt-regeringen-okar-skatteorattvisan-80df8?pak=qieW0ryKQwThbsIBml___HSTCLlNK3R___mQR7uvqUJ2jF___6Jq/Xl0rm0HIarLnBnehi8wgPtXiZa8i2pPzhYWBnXwM96S8K7AVOPcUu

Debatt: Regeringen ökar skatteorättvisan

I dagarna lade Tidöregeringen ett utredningsuppdrag – återigen om att begränsa kommuners och regioners rätt att ta ut skatt. Det ska läggas till att regeringen valt att inte justera utjämningssystemet, konsekvent valt att inte räkna upp de generella statsbidragen för att kompensera att de tappat i värde, skriver debattörerna.

😏 While acknowledging the need for #publicfunding, there is concern about big #techcompanies offloading their #responsibilities and the potential for the fund to become a subsidy for them.
