Economy isn't everything. People need more like believing in the future, a sense of community, etc. A lot of things incompatible with neoliberalism that the dems embraced in the 80s.
This push them in the arms of the extrem right. Don't take me wrong. Extrem right isn't better, it's worse. But they are the last untried thing and extrem right as a rhetoric that hide the reality.
The dems have to change in deep to address the real issues like inequality, housing, belonging to a group, etc. It's placing the human in the center.
A good read about the Democrats and why they losed to the profit of the extrem right is Leftism Reinvented: Western Parties from Socialism to Neoliberalism by Stephanie L. Mudge.
Actually, in Paris, if you own an SUV or drive one in the city, you're rich. Poorer can't afford one and even a car is too expensive. It's already a tax on the rich.
For more taxes on the wealth, it's up to the national government and it's a complete different story.
To keep it too simple, it's neurodivergent people not adapting themselves to the constructed social norms.
In a more elaborated definition: it's subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.
When people have a brain functioning differently from the majority, you will have different behaviors not matching the heteronormativity and the neuronormativity —even if you're heterosexual. The most obvious examples are not making eyes contact, not shaking hands, stimming in public.

You have a lot of shit in the journals. I read about autism for example. I can't count how many article with restrain and basic human right abuse are published. And, it continues in 2024.
It's seriously depressing to see this BS and other pseudo-scientific text published.
They are actually using asphalt under the balast at least in some European countries. Also, some HSL have the balast replaced by a concrete slab. It's also the case for tunnels.
The new metro lines are often using concrete slab as well. Trams actually too.
As she headed to her son's grave, she told the BBC that the Fleximan enigma reflected a culture that tells people they have the right to feel that rules do not apply to them.
Do the rules apply to the rich? It's how many poorer think it is. Maybe, the authorities should begin with applying them to the rich with for example higher taxes and better welfare aka reducing poverty.
A good implementation would be a warning at the creation of a community. Lemmy looks if a community already exist on the instances and display them. It would be on top of a better search.
I was looking for a new smartphone. I'm also for many many years a custom ROM user. The last moves from multiple manufacturers nearly oblige me to get a pixel.
