That seems like far too little rain to do much farming without totally draining local aquifers.

Rewild it with native flora, do yurts and whatever to attract people to live in a sustainable way with community gardening. Activities can initially revolve around returning the land to a more natural state. As things mature people will invest in the community themselves, creating their own activities etc.

Yeah… The spectrum of options arrayed before us appear to be heavily weighted towards enforcing arbitrary hierarchies which is… Not ideal.

I think whether we like it or not economic systems have forced their way into our political systems.

And anyone with any existing power is strongly incentivized to kill any “new ideas” in the womb. As they would most likely represent a departure from the current system that they benefit from.

Any dramatic restructuring is going to be a very “significant” event. We may currently be on the precipice of one such event in the United States, this remains to be seen. The existing power structures have been significantly destabilized and pre-existing norms and rules are being outright ignored.

Power will shift, it remains to be seen how much and to where.

In any case, we may have the opportunity for you to see some new interesting governmental concepts, or perhaps a return to some classics, or a mix of the two (a little overtly capitalist fuedalism perhaps?).

We sure do live in interesting times.

One important thing for people to think about right now is “what happens when other countries don’t accept deportees?”

They start to stack up. Housing, feeding, and guarding “dangerous undesirables” is expensive.

Surely, it would be patriotic to save your country money…

It might be too late. It might not, who’s to say. Videos from this weekend have a very familiar ring to them though.

It’s not all theHill’s fault, there’s plenty of blame to go around.

Democrats hated “the gays” too until like 15 years ago.

It’s the same as rainbow corporatism. It’s all a facade used for political expediency. It’s never actually about human rights. Both parties deserve the fates they get. Unfortunately they’ll do everything they can to take us down with them.

I’ve got one and they’re safe enough to visit any shipwreck.

I took mine to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Only wusses don’t hop on and immediately go as deep as possible.

Well eliminating a self selecting group of disproportionately high performers certainly won’t hurt them long term.

I’m marking this thread as “No Reply”

Take that, voters.

NYT is and always has been a pro-violence mouthpiece for capital.

They’ve accidentally done some good journalism here and there but I’m hard pressed to find it right now.

I feel you, but the reality is probably more like “Project Manager said I need to save 13 more cents on materials or he’ll murder my children, so if I move the oil filter from this nice easy to access location and remove the lip that catches any drippage it’ll get us there.”

90% of the time it’s the bosses.

Is your upright the one with all the little compartments? That one looked to me like the most efficient upright design I’ve ever seen.

They’re pissy cause it being open source and more efficient means that it’s gonna be more cost effective for people to use. Which is real bad if your company overcommitted to the slop and needs to recover losses.

Cancer grows continuously. Obviously we should model everything on that.

Yeah… That’s really weird.

Maybe they were bleaching the well. Double check your well cap?

I understand that stance for sure. My border proximity is less for running because of rights restrictions and more based on the necessity for humanitarian aid if things get too spicy. I arrived at a similar conclusion about where Canada, and the rest of the Western world to be frank, is going. We just tend to lead the pack on things like modernizing fascism here in the US.

Leaving Missouri for Minnesota has done loads for the mental health of myself and my family. I cannot recommend this place enough especially if you’ve mostly only experienced states run by people who think that governments can’t actually do things.
