Here’s the thing — If you HAVE to drive, or even just WANT to drive, it’s in your best interest for public transit, walking & biking to be as attractive as possible to EVERYONE else. It means everyone else can take up a lot less space to move.

If everybody drives, nobody moves.

Never forget, when you’re being pressured to prove that safe bike-lanes or pedestrian crossings across fundamentally unsafe conditions are ‘needed,’ it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a raging, crocodile-filled river.

7 years ago, while trying to get approval to operate in cities all over the world, #Uber insisted that it would actually reduce #traffic. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber & Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic, and now admit they actually increase congestion.

So much for “making cities better.”

Funny how if billionaires leave b/c Govt raises billionaire taxes, it’s Govt’s fault—but as teachers leave because Govt won’t raise teacher salaries, it’s the teachers fault.🤔

Protecting billionaires & exploiting teachers in poverty is class warfare against working people.
