Money Trees

The problem with numbers is that they can be quite dehumanizing. Behind the statistics they are people, these people that end up in cages, the ones that end up dead after mere interactions with the police, the ones that end up dead after mere interaction with their fellow citizens. The ones with the ghetto names, the ones with the foreign names, the ones with names you can’t pronounce those people are the bedrock of the big tent. They have witnessed the impact of the subprime loans, the stop and frisks, the fiscally conservative and the tough on law and order approaches. I don’t think they will keep going for it and if they don’t who will the democrats be? Will the party of the big tent eventually service all its stakeholders or will it continue to maximize return for the shareholders? Time shall tell.

Ride Or Die

Ban on motorbikes are becoming more common throughout African cities. In Addis Ababa, Lagos and Douala these policies have gone into effect and have begun to change the daily life of the denizens of these major urban metropolitan centers. At the core of the debate there is an argument about urbanization policies in modern African cities. The failure by local authorities to implement viable urbanization plans have left people to fend for themselves. The bikes as a method of transportation are just a manifestation of these failures.
