FundMECFS@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto News@lemmy.world•Billionaire island where Bezos lives lobbies state gov to flush its poop down neighbor town’s pipes35·6 小时前In an effort to fight this grave injustice, the community’s village council subsequently traveled to Florida’s State Capitol to lobby on behalf of the toilet-related concerns. The Times notes that Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, is a member of Indian Creek Village and is on the council.
The lobbying appears to have worked, as the Times reports that a large transportation bill recently approved by the state legislature now includes a “new legal measure prohibiting municipalities from blocking or charging for the installation of certain sewer lines — like the one Indian Creek wants to build, for example.” The bill now only has to be signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. Charles Burkett, the mayor of Surfside, told the Times that he was blindsided by the legislative effort to resolve the matter.
Sometimes I think we need some pirates to attack the island.
I can just hear the SBB voice “Intercity 8 für Olten, Bern, Lausanne, Gleis 5”

I like the downvotes disabled model.
It also means that the “active” sort algorithm doesn’t promote posts that get lots of “downvotes” -> engagement
