    Fuck this call it like it is - “Sorry you don’t have child care, a support network or a living wage but billionaires exist and have concentrated wealth like fucking cancer. Kill those fuckers (and any aspirants) and see change.”

      Seems a bit too long to be easily read on a moving billboard. We also don’t have money for proper literacy education either.

        I think we could workshop something a bit shorter.

        I’ve been pushing “Resist. Rebel. Revolt.”

        We could use the classic “Eat the rich”

        We could put this on a billboard: “Want to save lives while exercising your second amendment right? Gun down a CEO today!”

        As for the illiterate: 👮🔫🚶🇺🇸🗽🫡

    As if they would spend that money on potholes. And Isreal funds are federal while road repair are city/municipal/state for most part so there is that too. They have the right spirit but potholes are permanent

      But a significant portion of funds are often allocated at the state or federal level from various grants. There’s nothing stopping the federal government from setting up a “fix potholes” grant - if there was a proper infrastructure bill, this would a part of it. Of course, the incentive structures that dominate modern decision making at the upper levels will never see it hair without major changes.

    That, and we’re not spending money on alternative means of transportation that reduce the amount of road maintenance needed.

    I’m not sure if it is helpful to boil down a complex conflict like the one in the middle east to such simple slogans

        An Israel supporter would answer you with “there is nothing complex about making a conscious decision to specifically NOT murder and abduct children, women and elderly like on Oct 7”. Boiling down such a complex conflict to simple slogans really isn’t helping .

          Well that’s because Israel supporters are stupid.

          Yet again, not a complex issue. You beat a dog for decades, you can’t be surprised when it finally bites you.

          But keep on bootlicking, I guess.

      It’s a billboard on the side of a vehicle, they can’t exactly have a treatise on the side of it.

        Yeah, then don’t put stuff on a billboard on the side of a vehicle?
