8pm and on the #2 bus home from the city, brimming with people. I wonder how many more people we could get on the buses if our government did what other governments are doing and made it free? 💚 #Wellington #PublicTransport #PublicGood

Education is free.
Knowledge is widely accessible from libraries & the internet.

By directing a triad of investigations specifically at #MedicalSchools in a single day, the #Trump admin is widening its targets & transforming a decades-long financial partnership into a tool of #cultural leverage.

Well said Sara Burke - we should be focusing on improving standards of maternity care, for all!
The 'but you're denying women choice' argument is illogical... it's only a 'choice' for those who can 'afford' it in the first place!

Healthcare isn’t a normal market.
Patients lack price info, emergencies remove choice, insurers profit by denial.
Private insurance adds profit & admin $ & fragments risk pools.
#M4A pools risk nationally, cuts admin & treats healthcare as #PublicGood for universal access while lowering prices.

I don't want to steal anybody's work any more that I want them to steal mine.
I simply want better #opensource #publicgood tools to process (and even cope) with the […]

I seem to have a misconsception of California as being a car culture.
This bus route of public transit is better than middle America by a longshot.

#Publicgood of mass transit is so underrated
Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion.
You cannot regulate away the damage caused by private ownership.
When profit is prioritised, customers and the environment inevitably lose out — no matter how tight the regulatory grip is meant to be.
