If you know a business open on the weekend, that’s someone who couldn’t take a day off from work. I work Saturday/Sundays on my gig. Fully against Trump, just can’t take a 2.5 hour bus ride one way and a day off of my job to attend. That money is going towards paying for the healthcare and rent of my family.
Edit: Sorry that I have a job to provide my family PugJesus. I know you hate that I have a life outside of Lemmy, unlike you.
The fact I can cross that via a bus is pretty nice. But the fact I don’t own a car nor have to drive (never needed to, the buses here are pretty decent and have decent rates), does impact me for a lot of events. I’ve been able to attend some about a mayor in my area when he falsely accused a homeless shelter of a gunshot wound, but the police officer who said it faked it all for attention.
So the mayor made shit up, about something that was made up. A protest was organized in front of city hall, and it was very close to a bus stop for me. Attended, hung out with some organizers and helped sign some ballot initiatives. Overall a decent time telling a Republican mayor to fuck off.
