lol, it can’t have helped Cuomo that trump endorsed him at the 11th hour.
This is hilarious. I hope trump keeps endorsing corpo libs. Like oh no, please stop. Don’t.
Lmao it was quite pathetic.
Cuomo also basically threatened everyone in the final debate with “vote for me or Trump will invade NYC”, like he was gonna do that either way buddy.
Great day, Dick Cheney fucks off for good and Zohran Mamdani wins.
I hope the Democrats wake up and realize that appeasing neocon Zionist billionaires is a losing strategy.
They won’t. I read a write up last night, after the VA election results that said because centrist Spanberger won that confirms the need for the DNC to try to appeal to them. 👀 Hopefully they have the idea of appealing to progressives and the youth since Mamdani won.
Nah, see, the progressives will hold their nose, and if they don’t, Trump is their fault. Same how the Democrats will do as Trump says, and if they don’t, the shutdown is their fault.
Unless she was running against a progressive, then that’s such obvious bullshit
This is the way.
I hope this is a sign of a better day for the rest of the country going forward. Don’t give up the hope, keep pushing never give up!
Fuck yeah

Is tragedy of the commons a solved problem? Genuinely wondering, because it seems to be the most obvious reason why free public transit shouldn’t be done.
The maximum amount of resources (public transport) one can take is limited. Not everyone wants to take the resource. It is possible to provide more than sufficient resources for everyone.
I don’t think this is a tragedy of the common problem
Tragedy of the Commons is why the roads keep overfilling with commuter cars carrying one person at a time. Public busses and trains would be a more efficient use of funds then building even more roads on the limited ground.
I know you thought you sounded really smart when you wrote this, but it’s just completely nonsensical to normal people.
“Those damn [xenophobic slur] need to work harder to afford [basic necessity]” - you probably
If free public transit means people use it, that’s a good thing.
I think it extremely unlikely people will abuse it to the point of ruining the service.
I can imagine a few ways it can go sideways:
-
People start making perfectly walkable or bikable trips by bus
-
People start making trips they didn’t need to make at all
-
Public transit becomes dependent on public funding, which may fluctuate with economic downturns – whereas a private company would be more free to compensate
As a practical example, Tallinn, Estonia introduced free public transit some years back. Oddly enough, it had almost no effect to car usage although public transit use increased.
-
Was it ever actually a problem, or some BS made up by “economists” to justify privatization of public resources.
It was coined by an ecologist (Garrett Hardin), and (answering myself here after finding out) famously rebutted by the economist Elinor Ostrom, who won the Nobel Prize for her work. So tragedy of the commons, while a real phenomenon and can happen, is not inevitable by current understanding.
Like in a lot of things, the devil is in the details.
Did they really? I thought one solution to the tragedy of the commons is regulation from above. E.g. limits on resource use. How would privatization help here?
YES
Yes. Fuck YES!! 💙💙
