#PredatoryDelay
The concept of #predatoryDelay is so very useful to understand the incentive structures of our fossil-economy. It also maps well to other phenomena of rent seeking and exploitation:
It does not matter to billionaires, if current strategies of exploitation are unsustainable. The reckoning is future billionaires' problem, so the hoarding in the presence will continue unabated.
Threats of future consequences are no threats at all, all that matters is the present. Hence delaying the future.

I just learned of the battle between #louisville and #kentucky over whether more affordable #housing types should be permitted there. "I think it stops the momentum.

@cityobs “In 2009, the Oregon Legislature—as part of a compromise with environmentalists concerned about the added driving promoted by highway projects—enacted a state law directing ODOT to implement a road pricing demonstration project no later than September, 2012” #climate #predatorydelay
My latest article: "Why COP28 Doesn't Matter."
Yes, I actually said that.
@capntransit this must be a fake picture since the US can't do overhead lines with double-stacked cars 🤪 "a joint research agenda to test the safe integration of emerging technologies, including hydrogen-powered and battery-electric locomotives" #GreenWashing #ClimateDenial #PredatoryDelay #HydrogenPower #COP28
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/03/back-into-caves-cop28-president-dismisses-phase-out-of-fossil-fuels “Cop28 must deliver a decision on phasing out fossil fuels in a just and equitable manner, without any loopholes or escape routes for the industry to continue expanding and exacerbating the climate crisis” #cop28 #climate #predatorydelay #phaseout
#ODOT's "Interstate Bridge Replacement [and MASSIVE #HighwayWideningBoondoggle]" project proposes to build park-and-ride #transit stations... in like 2025? What year is it? #ClimateDenial #PredatoryDelay #GlobalWarming #InducedDemand #CarSupremacy #CarBrain #parking #NoMoreFreeways #ODOTGTFOpdx #Portland #ORpol
What an absurd waste of city resources to grind off a #pdxBikes lane because some NIMBY with the commissioner's phone number didn't like it. #PBOT should be grinding off the yellow centerlines, which nobody was consulted on. #Vision60or70something #PredatoryDelay #DefundDOTs

Between the wood smoke, exhaust of cold car engines climbing a hill, and the complete policy failure of our #transportation system's status-quo, older generations are really sticking it to the kids. Career DOT people can't figure out why we wouldn't want to give them $4B for finishing their project designs from the 1950s (to use Portland as an example) just shut it down. #GlobalWarming #Pollution #PublicHealth #BanCars #BikeBus #SchoolStreets #SafeRoutesToSchool #PredatoryDelay #JFDI
So will #Starmer's #Labour immediately commit to reversing #Sunak's #PredatoryDelay #climate announcement?
I'm not holding my breath but would like to be pleasantly surprised.
Even better would be a commitment to rapid decarbonisation.
More #ClimateDenial #PredatoryDelay by #PBOT, status-quo #YellowCenterlines and a guardrail on the wrong side of the walking/biking path. #DefundDOTs
RT @: It is in the interests of the vast majority of humanity to move as quickly as possible on climate action and ruggedization.
That those delaying action benefit from their delays while others suffer the losses is what makes those delays predatory.

Are we just going to continue the #IntergenerationalTheft #predatoryDelay #climateDenial right up to the point where kids pull that lever and #BanCars?
re: why #Portland can't have nice things: The trick is to make each "ride your bike in relatively car-free safety" event an expensive optional line-item requiring lots of money for "traffic control", but frame as unavoidable the $2M+/day we spend letting cars have free reign of the entire system for the other 362 days.

2007 vs 2022 - es hat sich NICHTS in der Attitüde der Eltern-/Altengeneration geändert. Absolut NICHTS. Und es ist unerträglich.
