He once claimed that while food banks were necessary there were too many food banks due to do-gooders starting them to feel better about themselves. And that people could feed themselves on 30p a day if they knew how to budget.

This turned out to be a local food bank that managed to feed a load of people on £50 that worked out to 30p each for one meal. Obviously not something you can do at home however good your budgeting

Messaging is for urbanist and transport subs, this is a place to bellow "fuck cars" until your voice is hoarse.

If you do want a serious discussion of posting here is just going to frustrate you and give you a very weird idea of the movement.

I know right. What are they teaching children at Springfield elementary?

One of the worst ways, absolutely worst ways, to get people to listen to you is for "rural can't survive without cars" people to wade into a post about cities and keep going on about them, as if they're the only ones that matter and city dwellers shouldn't solve their city problems without the permission of someone far away who doesn't live there.

It's just not about you. Please try and have the humility to not act like it is.

I could line by line this but these are civilians working on a ship, they don't choose anything, especially they don't choose where the ship goes which is international waters not Yemeni waters. The attacks are on ships in international waters

Of course they "had ties", international shipping ownership and flag choice is absolute chaos. You can justify almost anything to almost any vessel.

Attacking a civilian ship "Once registered in Britain" thousands of miles away from a country you claim to be blockading is absolutely not a valid target it's an obvious war crime.

The defence of this shit undermines the entire opposition to Israel, the moral argument for stopping Israel from killing civilians is very clear but when the people arguing for it most strongly see attacking other civilians as perfectly fine the entire case starts to look like just a convenient cover for anti semetism.

Is driving a car off a bridge really a typical crash? Christ the concern trolling here is really scraping the barrel

Rural people know their way of life is utterly unsustainable and feel very defensive because of that

You use a train like the rest of the civilised world. Should take 30 minutes or something like , you can spend the time you saved helping end car dependency

You can earn 5k and spend 10k if you get a pay rise of 5k next month

In practice they spend a few percent more than they take in taxes and grow by a little more or less than that. COVID was a big jump in real debt but other than that it's generally stable ish

It's not obviously unsustainable

The thing is it's profitable because they pay themselves less than they make in income. We don't really know how sustainable their pay is

It keeps the kind of people who use a bus far away from you.

I guess, I'm not American, buses are fine here.
