Coal terminal developer must deliver on jobs
Phil Tagami and his associates proposed the construction of a coal terminal in Oakland, sparking fierce opposition. With the permitting process now underway, local resident Jim Hopkins is urging Tagami to live up to his promise of providing high-paying jobs for community members.
Hopkins' concerns echo those of many who doubt that the promised jobs will materialize. The developer's failure to deliver on this key aspect of his proposal could have far-reaching consequences for Oakland residents.
The Hepatitis B vaccine policy change, discussed by Dr. Gary Peer and others, has sparked debate about medical recommendations. A rational approach to vaccine administration, as proposed by Dr. Peer, suggests that the current policy may not be in line with European countries' standards.
Meanwhile, Gerald Veiluva is calling on Congress to extend the Affordable Care Act's premium tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of 2025. Without this crucial support, millions of Americans could face significant premium hikes and potentially lose their health insurance coverage.
Policies implemented by the current administration have raised concerns about healthcare access in both the US and abroad. The planned elimination of USAID and foreign assistance programs threatens to disrupt vital health services for marginalized populations worldwide.
The time has come for accountability from those who claim to serve the public interest. As Tagami moves forward with his proposal, it remains to be seen whether he will uphold his promise of creating jobs in Oakland or leave the community to struggle without meaningful employment opportunities.

This coal terminal thing is getting me SO frustrated - Phil Tagami's all "oh look, I'll create jobs" but what if he's just winging it and doesn't have a clue how to make good on that promise? Like, Oakland residents deserve better than some flaky developer who can't even keep his word 
but seriously tho, phil tagami needs 2 keep his word on jobs it's not just about the benjamins, its about the community too. if he can't deliver, i dunno who will 
oakland needs those high-paying gigs more than ever 
. It's like, we all make grand promises, but when it comes down to it, do we really deliver? I mean, Tagami's proposal is a perfect example of this. He promised jobs, and now the ball is in his court 
. What if he doesn't follow through on that promise? Does that reflect poorly on him as a person or just a developer? And what about the community that's counting on him to deliver? It's like, we all need to be held accountable for our words and actions 
. If we can't trust each other, how can we expect anything good to come out of this situation?
I'm still waiting to see how this coal terminal development pans out. Like, where are the real job numbers? We all know Tagami's team is gonna promise a bunch of 'em but what if they don't deliver? That'd be a huge disappointment for the community. Oakland residents deserve better than just empty promises 
. It's time to hold devs and politicians accountable for keeping their word 
.
. What if the jobs aren't as good or plentiful as promised? Or what if they even create more problems for the community in the long run? I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out... but I'm keeping a close eye on this one 
! But what really gets me is when politicians make promises and then, like, not deliver on them. It's so frustrating 
. If Tagami can't keep his word, that's gonna be a big problem for the community. They deserve better than just empty promises 
.
.
.
. Maybe instead of demonizing the administration, we can have an open conversation about what works and what doesn't? 
u should def see the state of healthcare rn... ppl r dyin 4 affordable insuranc& its getting crazy 
. I mean, they're already dealing with so much stress and uncertainty about their future, and then this coal terminal thing comes along... it's like, one more thing to worry about 
. The thing is, though, we need to keep an eye on this guy Phil Tagami and make sure he follows through on his promises 
.
. Like, how can we trust that Tagami's gonna deliver on those high-paying jobs? 
It feels like no one's looking out for the little guys. 
. We need people in power who actually care about the community they're supposed to serve, not just lining their pockets
