if you want working class music, it is currently on SoundCloud by some trans girl rapper named Spleen Recital who makes beats by sampling kitchen appliances.
What do we think about the assertion in this meme? I know, we think it's asinine, but I'm looking for specific arguments as to why it's asinine.

a handful of petulant rich boomers can halt an entire block of apartments but an entire community saying "no" in unison to a data center that provides nothing of value to their neighbors gets a self-righteous rubber stamp. cool.

The gavel banging and yelling "LET ME FINISH!" over the booing really seems to undermine the "public is not my boss" statement moments earlier.
Also, fuck all data centers. Bang your stupid fucking gavel all you want. Any data center built should be stripped for GPUs/recylable metal and burnt down.

Looks like she's appointed by the MDC, the board of the DMD (DMD pays her - bottom link). And the MDC are appointed by the Mayor and Council, who are elected by...

The problem is, the MDC is appointed by the mayor. The president of the MDC is a friend of the mayor with financial ties to shopping centers. When she says she has no boss, she is lying under oath because her boss is the MDC, aka Hogsett.
The thing is, we really do want independent arbiters like the MDC Hearing examiners, who can't be fired (ie don't have a boss) for not doing what they're told. The problem is with the electeds appointing an arbiter who consistently values corporate interests over community input

This is just a classic "neoliberalism is anything I don't like."
I mean, neoliberalism is bad. But it's on a whole different axis from "fight fascists or not."

When government services should be needs based, I'm always confused when a service is strapped for cash. We rely on free markets way too much.
Bloomington Transit’s newest route, Route 13 to Park 48, could end soon without a cash infusion from Monroe County. The agency is seeking $184,000 to keep the route going.
Without funding, service on Route 13 will end on March 8.
