almost got ran off the freakin road today. and who do you think's to blame? yuuuuup: guy in a car!!! it's high time we banned these things from the roads. they are simply too dangerous

Meu sonho é que na esteira da mobilização pelo fim da escala 6x1, também se retomem os debates fundamentais sobre mobilidade urbana e direito à cidade, esvaziados - especialmente por uma certa esquerda partidária - após 2013.

the English language should get distinct words for ciclovia and ciclofaixa, just calling everything a "bike lane" makes it ambiguous as to what kind of bicycle infrastructure people are referring to

ciclovia = bicycle lane fully separated from the road; ciclofaixa = bicycle with partial separation

Giving some people benefits they don’t need is cheaper than making people prove they need it.

Não precisa haver metáforas, conjecturas, figuras de linguagem.

Os caras que fazem/ordenam isso inserem na discussão (esperneio, mais exatamente...) política a destruição de tudo e a própria morte.

The most vulgar turnstile hopper possesses in their soul a deeper understanding of communism than the most advanced social democratic turnstile payer because they understand that everything should be free

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

this might be an unpopular opinion but it has always struck me as a bit annoying that a ton of urbanists talk about Europe like it’s the ultimate ideal for human civilization and never really talk about all the great stuff on other continents

One of the reasons I hate the focus on "industrial policy" as a distinct "new" economic trend is that a huge part of NAFTA and the horrors of the neoliberal free trade regime was the US leveraging its enormous agricultural industrial policy regime to destroy smaller
