The future of space is a Kessler event that grounds us permanently on this dying planet.

This combined with the frightening prospect of millions of people having their homes yanked out from under them by their banks when they can no longer afford home owners insurance, and the public realizing that property in coastal areas and flood zones is basically worthless now as it is, means the housing market crash that's coming will make 2008 look like a cake walk.

If you don't want to see people on the street, house them.

Today african american kids in universities got messages telling them to report to the plantation, so that would seem like an obvious point to start.

If they had any doubts about how christians & republicans view black people, this should put that to rest.

Any african american christians or republicans should die of shame & hear their ancestors crying over the fact they've been "carrying water" for their enemies. (A southern expression)

????

How is encouraging people to abandon the GOP and christianity "engaging in discriminatory efforts against minority groups?"

That statement doesn't even make sense.

If he thinks that's going to keep him out of the camps he is sadly mistaken.

OK, I think that's all the academic stuff and urbanism related things I want to bring over from Universeodon.

I'll give it a week or so, then I will delete that account.

During Covid people discovered this amazing thing called work-life balance.

But corporate America still has a plantation mentality & is still deeply confused about the difference between employment, a contract for 8 hours of work for a set amount of pay, w/ slavery - being on call 24/7 & no control over work hours or family time.

So what did workers figure out? The only winning move is not to play.

"Don't let this shock you, but sweeping #homeless people out of their encampments does not actually solve the problems that left them unhoused, and often makes them worse."

We need a federal law requiring voting districts to be substantially "regular polygons" (with the obvious geographic exceptions). There are computer programs that can do this fairly easily, adjusting the size of the polygons as population density requires. A voronoi diagram with slight edits would work.

Combining this with state laws requiring Electoral College members to follow the popular vote should eliminate the ability for republicans to negate the votes of the majority.

It's interesting looking back at the stuff I posted before on Universeodon. And I'm sad to realize there's only 500 characters for posts here when most places have 1000 or more now. Oh well. You'll just have to look at the alt text more.
