Nothing revolutionary about this.
Massive for-profit private interests being catered to by the government instead of public transit for the public.
And before the point gets argued like last time I brought it up. Yes in some scenarios cars can't be replaced, but the majority of transport required by the majority of people is better served via bus, tram, train, or bike. I'm not saying abolish cars, I'm saying they don't need massive government subsidy, other modes of transport do.
Times are tough, but that doesn't excuse becoming a fascist's foot soldier. Join a union, organise, protest, fight for a better life, become politically active. You still have the pretence of democracy in America, use it.
Times are tough, we all could use a helping hand
Troubles weighing on your mind, quickly sinking in this sand
Thinking thoughts about your future, trapped on this hellish land
I heard that death is what happens while you're making other plans
Looking 'round for help, may as well dig the grave yourself
Make your way out of the hole you made, you've got to save yourself
You've got to save your self
Run, run, run, you ain't never gonna win
Looking right, looking left, or at her, or at him
You ain't never gonna be anything that you wanna be
If you play it safe and place your real dreams under lock and key
Yeah, no one's gonna help you 'cause this world is so cold
And it likes to make examples out of all the brave and boldBut you've got to carry forward, can't afford to lose your soul
You don't look around for help, you've got to do it on your own
You've got to save... your... self
Fight, fight, fight, just as hard as you can
Change your luck, change your style, change the cards in your hand
I know life's getting peak, it's a mountain to climb
With the worry in your heart and that doubt on your mind
Yeah, no one's gonna help you 'cause this world is so cold
And it likes to make examples out of all the brave and bold
But you've got to carry forward, can't afford to lose your soul
You don't look around for help, you've got to do it on your own
You've got to save... your... self
Save yourself!
Oh winter is coming.
It's just going to take a while, but it will come.
And it will either be a nuclear winter or an ice age. Yay!
Aye, happened in Aberdeen too.
An independent basement gig venue, with a standard old man pub on the ground floor, been there for years without issue. Right in the city centre so no expectation of peace and quiet, pubs and shops all over that street. Gigs finished at 11pm normally as well so not like it was a club playing music until 3am.
Then someone moved into a flat nearby. Made a noise complaint, kept pushing the council about it despite public backlash, got the gig venue shut down because they couldn't afford £80,000 for extra insulation, and then the cunt moved out and left to another city.
Aberdeen lost a brilliant independent venue that hosted the small obscure bands that other venues often wouldn't, and then a month later the pub shut down too.
RIP Downstairs and The Malt Mill

Too fucking right. If you're around, there's an anti Trump protest in Aberdeen this Saturday. Starts at 12 noon at the Wallace statue on Union Terrace.

"Davon haben wir nichts gewusst" was a shit excuse back then and an even worse excuse now, in the internet connected world.
Tap for spoiler
Davon haben wir nichts gewusst" ("We knew nothing about that")
