Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Heard about this on another channel in a video about toll roads. The contract even requires them to compensate the company for any road closures due to lost parking income. A stupid move by politicians who don't want to do long term planning.

I've heard that the people of Chicago are very pissed at that mayor to this day. I don't blame them, it was a fucking terrible decision

Public-private partnerships are a lie. It’s always private capital further exploiting public resources.
