Mamdani out here doing the work. Never thought I’d see a collab with John Wilson and a NYC mayor.

The real reason scaffolding is left up is likely that it’s cheap keeping it up, relative to the fine, compared to actually repairing facades.

Realistically, keeping that scaffolding up keeps the streets safer from falling facade pieces (which is required… unless they want a lawsuit) but the building owners repairs can be postponed, in some cases for over 10 years.

Perhaps building owners in NYC will be pushed to get facade work done quicker.

What has Joe Biden done ?

I get asked that a lot by Red Hat wearing people online.

Biden gave $90 billion to red America. The thank-you went to spam.

Here’s one . Rural broadband gets an upgrade.

I Used To Make $100K As A Trucker. Now I Make Minimum Wage.

Truckers used to make $110K per year on average. Now many are homeless. So what happened? We dug into it as part of our new Class Room series, which looks at how jobs that used to provide a solid, middle class life now barely provide a living.
With trucking, that story starts with deregulation. Big Box stores like Walmart were allowed to crush worker power and wages across an entire industry.
Now there's a perpetual trucker shortage as drivers get sick of low wages, long hours, and constant surveillance.
