    That's it, I'm about to run for governor against her on the platform of issuing a gubernatorial pardon for Luigi on day 1

    Sorry mods, I don't mean to lionize him but I genuinely hate her

      As long as you're pardoning all Luigis then I think you can both improve your odds of winning and (more importantly) avoid mod action.

      I think it's very good that they're holding this meeting, but I feel that it should be held in person and the venue announced beforehand

    This stupid governor overturned NYC congestion pricing at the eleventh hour after years of politicking and activism, just because carbrains moaned and cried. Would have provided millions of dollars of much-needed revenue to the subway and greater public transportation network of New York City.

    Fuck you, Kathy Hochul

      Would have provided billions actually

      I don’t have the specific quote but she plainly insinuated that she was gonna put it on hold because of the election lmao which is literally self defeating because you’re literally telling the car brains “yeah we’re putting it on hold so democrats don’t lose mouth frothing car head votes” while simultaneously implying that a democratic victory means the congestion pricing comes back!!!

      Fucking stupid and then when trump won she clearly didn’t have a backup plan for it so she restarted the program with the toll cut it fucking HALF!

      Now the trump admin will probably get rid of it anyway I hate her so so so much and also a big fuck you to democratic New Jersey governor Phil Murphy who helped push to make this all happen.

      That Beelzebub fellow? Mephistopheles? No good, folks. Many people are saying it. He says he's the bringer of light. Another Big Lie from the lord of lies himself.

    How is it not "domestic terrorism" when they deny-defend-depose us and our families into bankruptcy and deaths by the hundreds of thousands?

    If they're concerned with demonization, they shouldn't have been so eager to turn themselves into demonsedgeworth-shrug

    Anything but taking an objective look as to the systemic material conditions they effect blowing back at them. The only tool they have is a hammer so every problem looks like a nail. Fucking idiots aren't going to fix anything and demand more funding of fascism and scare CEOs to jerk off security state lobbies.

      "This is the thing to bomb. This is the beginning—from "I" to "we". If you who own the things people must have could understand this, you might preserve yourself. If you could separate causes from results, if you could know that Paine, Marx, Jefferson, Lenin were results, not causes, you might survive. But that you cannot know. For the quality of owning freezes you forever into "I", and cuts you off forever from the "we"."
