These same “bandicoots” also get the luxury of toilet‑side voting, thanks to the circus of polling staff dispatched to their homes.

This isn’t welfare. It’s selective privilege disguised as policy. #PolicyFailure #ThayumanavarScheme
Why do we send a just-in-case fire engine to park in the bike lane for a medical emergency that would probably be attended sooner if FD crew arrived via motorcycle / arcimoto? ( ICYMI, the ambulance has filled the driveway) #FossilFuel #transportation #carSupremacy #PolicyFailure
Edit to add the picture where they went past it on the first try and probably had to find some way to turn the rig around twice or was it easier to reverse 1/4mi back?? Compare to any other vehicle. How absurd.
What does it mean when a society moves from 15 #billionaires to 800 in a generation: How did this happen? What are the consequences? How are we all affected? How much does this explain the #despair & #fear & #outrage marking our times & politics? It is about #policyfailure. bit.ly/3WCdoxc
Chris Capper Liebenthal asks, "Will 700,000 Wisconsinites lose vital FoodShare benefits?" Wisconsin State Senate President Mary Felzkowski is reportedly refusing to use a $4.6B surplus to prevent this loss, instead blaming Democrats and dismissing urgent local needs.

GenAI becomes widely available, and widely used, from 30 November 2022.
It's now almost 3 years later, and a judical system has finally put in place an intrim policy to cover the use of GenAI.
I find it impossible to see this response time as adequate. And see the years of absence of any explicit genAI policy as evidence of a judicial system that is unable to adapt in a timely manner.
Australia seems to be following the American blueprint: dumb down the locals, then import the brains.
Prof Michio Kaku explains how the US built its tech empire on the H1-B visa, embracing foreign talent while neglecting its own education system.
Sound familiar?

When legal systems are too slow or too costly, people defect. And when disease control depends on cooperation, defection is contagion.

Is chaos the new norm for economic stability? Paul Krugman highlights the alarming governance under President Trump as a considerable threat to the U.S. economy. As he critiques the reckless implementation of tariffs and ineffective policies, confidence in the dollar wanes, leading to uncertainty in investments and trade. The consequences of this chaotic approach are bound to be severe.

Elizabeth Warren told Laurence O’Donnell that Republicans were unwilling to cap tax cuts—even for those with $1B in taxable income.

Yeah, but the super rich oligarchs won't like it! We, The People would really see our lives improve. Every billionaire is a policy failure.

„Joe Biden was wrong.
His bear hug has been one the biggest foreign policy mistakes in modern American history. It did not give Biden or the US leverage in private. Again and again, Netanyahu ignored Biden’s pleas to change policy. Red lines were drawn that Israel could not cross. Israel crossed them and faced no consequences.“
The violent response to #BrianThompson, a CEO who profits obscenely from the torment and suffering of millions of customers.
It didn't need to happen. Those CEOs have had plenty of warning that oppressed people will be pushed only so far before seeking a violent response.
The title short story from collection _Radicalized_, by @pluralistic, details how people are corralled by the physical suffering of family members, exploited by an insurance industry deliberately designed to extract wealth while denying health care, and finally resort to violent terrorism in the absence of any other effective option.
CEOs have had this, and for decades many other, warnings that they must stop the ghoulish practice of denying health care to those who need it, while extracting wealth. A reckoning is coming.

Funny how the business association endorsing a candidate matches up with them talking about cops and "accidents" in the BikeLoud Q&A responses.

„The United States, the European Union and the Arab states that signed the Abraham Accords with Israel have proved incapable of preventing the disaster when they could at least have limited its scale, writes Gilles Paris in his column.“
Australia's population has surpassed 27 million, but policies over the past decade have failed to meet housing demands, an expert warns. New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a 2.3% national population increase to 27.1 million by March, with net overseas migration accounting for 83% of the 615,300 people added last year.

RT @walkbikenow Hey NYC DOT we don’t want these curb cuts replaced as they were. We want curb extensions to reduce traffic violence. This is a #PolicyFailure. Please Queens CB6 and @lynn4nyc help us move in the right direction on this. Thanks!
just to be clear:
if you read the whole interview, i hope one of your takeaways is that this bombing of #Gaza is a #policyFailure for the state of #Israel.
what policy you may ask?
Ehud Olmert says it right there, as plain as day:
"the only possible way to guarantee our future is to make an effort for a two-state solution, to pull out from the territories, and to have a smaller state."
Ben Gvir, the guy rubber-stamping the bombings, is the face of that policy failure.
