Great day, Dick Cheney fucks off for good and Zohran Mamdani wins.

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.

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

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!

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

I know you thought you sounded really smart when you wrote this, but it’s just completely nonsensical to normal people.

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.

“Those damn [xenophobic slur] need to work harder to afford [basic necessity]” - you probably

Was it ever actually a problem, or some BS made up by “economists” to justify privatization of public resources.

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?

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.

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.
