Naomi Klein: "One of the things that we can learn from Zohran #Mamdani is.. he moonlights as a #history #professor.. actually educating people about radical history, because we don’t learn it in school.. people in Canada generally don’t know the history of #public ownership,”

And "we perform best when we actually have to fight for our ideas."

📍 Naomi Klein unpacks #world affairs and #politics, New Democratic Party (NDP) leadership #election in Canada, and importance of Avi Lewis becoming the new NDP leader on March 29

"And so, we really haven't had that for a long time; politicians who are really able to name the #system itself, and I honestly think it's the only way we can bring people back,"

There is a building, formerly an Amtrak office, right next to the ferry docks, that’s been vacant since 2015. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferry_Station_Post_Office_Building

My idea: reopen it as an airport lounge and ticket office. (Eventually, maybe there could be a luggage check station there.) People could then take a ferry to the SFO or OAK airports. For now, ferries could serve the South San Francisco and Harbor Bay docks and then shuttles could take them to the terminals; someday perhaps dedicated facilities could be built closer to the airports.

(not intended as an April fool thing)
