You should stop being such a dick then. Your fine where you are. Your rich and have a big house. 200 thousand a year is a crazy amount and your being a brat and complaining about haven’t a mentally deranged son. Like, what’s wrong with you. I mean, it would be better if you brought him to a foster home just so he could get away from people like you

The price of grain or oil doesn’t drop if the supply only increases marginally and that increase still doesn’t meet or exceed demand. That is especially true if grain and oil sellers decide that long term profits will be higher if they set a price based on the current market and hold or let spoil some of the product that doesn’t sell, while making fewer sales at a higher price point. People in here learned supply and demand in high school and just regurgitate that term as if it will cause some magic fix. There are literal studies and theories widely accepted in macroeconomic circles that argue capitalist society has moved beyond supply and demand based concepts for staple goods such as housing, food, etc.

Sure, of course! Dude, I'm on your side! I meant that the overall rhetoric we use around bikes and cars can be moralizing in a way that makes it sound like disabled lives don't matter. "Down with cars, everybody bikes" is alienating and isolating to people with different realities. (I know you're not saying that, but people do.) It doesn't have to be disabled folks; think about young children or families, for a different example. I agree that it's not ableist to encourage and uplift public transport and biking. I'll vote for such policies every time. But the vitriol and condescension toward cars--it's neither righteous nor kind.

We don't care about driving. This has nothing to do with "making driving worse" This is about making walking/biking/public transportation better. Car parking is the largest waste of space in our cities. It spreads the city out and makes other forms of transportation impossible. It also makes building housing more expensive.

You probably "believe in markets" or whatever so you should be happy about this change now the markets will decide how much parking exists instead random political regulations

I can't speak to color myself, but I went to Rich at savvy hair design in Inman square for years and years. Saw many others getting color, and I always came out with a good cut.
