the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Rental bikes offer a service that no other public transport service can. Of course it'd be better if they were public owned but unfortunately they're usually not. Still, I'd rather they exist under private ownership than not at all. In places where they're implemented properly they're great, though I understand why you'd not agree if you've never actually seen them used well.
Which is why I'm arguing for a public option and against a private one and pointing out how a private one is bad in ways that is specific to that
It's not like a public bikeshare system is going to pop out of the ground when all the private bikes are thrown on traintracks. Of course there are reasons to criticise these companies but I still feel their presence is better than a complete absense.
