Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate.
Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd:
-Give $12K to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60K
And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.
Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

He broke the law and murdered a US citizen. Full stop.

PA MAIL-IN VOTERS: Don’t send ballots via snail mail anymore, it won't arrive in time. Allegheny County is encouraging those voters instead to return their mail-in ballots in person to one of the county's 10 ballot return sites. Check story for locations: triblive.com/local/dont-mail…

E-bike rebates might be the most wildly popular transportation policy in the country right now.
I visited Denver – the first US city to offer them– to see if reality matches the hype.

It's first worth pointing out a car-only transport system is perhaps the most ableist of all. A third of the population does not have the physical or financial means to drive: like children, the elderly, caregivers, people with lower incomes, and those with physical disabilities.
ALT People of all ages and abilities ride a variety of mobility devices—including tricycles, cargo bikes and scootmobiles—along protected bike lanes in Dutch cities.

Today, I went back to my roots and bussed into work as part of #WeekWithoutDriving.
It's important that we take the time to step back from the convenience of driving and understand the barriers that nearly a third of non-driving Americans face.

E-bikes don't replace bicycle trips, they replace car trips. That's what makes them so important. Multimodal choice is spreading slowly and suddenly.

PA residents get money back from buying electric / hybrid cars, so why not e-bikes?
E-bikes for the people! @pghcitypaper @colinwimbles

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.
