It’s about time someone did. War is just violent economics. Taking away Putin’s income will cost him the war faster than killing Russians.

The next most conservative generation is Gen X. All few dozen of us. Expect those with power to retain it with massive use of wealth to constrain the rules of democracy, rather than numbers of voters.
Finally figuring out that war is economics with violence. Our sanctions have been half assed from the start, and need to include some serious pressure on any country not abiding by them.
The best restaurants in the world are in London. Of course they don’t serve English food. The Brits just knew to bring the best stuff home.
I thought I saved my reply, but I don’t see it. The savings rate is by no means a driving factor, just a side effect. As income moves to financial assets designed to avoid taxes, it also makes it invisible to the savings rate. Doubling this effect is that it also selects for income that’s more constrained by expenses, because those that do report their full income, are those that can’t afford to hide it.
Ah, the damage over time of widening inequality.
It turns out the specialized medical needs are kind of special, and they fly people to where there are facilities when they’re needed. And only affects a special portion of the population. For everyone else it doesn’t matter.
For fuck sake people crossed the entire US in a god damn wagon while risking being shot at by random tribes and eaten by bears. What’s stopping people now is that they can’t afford food or a place to park the damn wagon without getting harassed by the cops.
Moving to more rural areas is what causes rural areas to build hospitals, and doctors to open clinics and offices. There are plenty of jobs everywhere that just involve sitting on your ass in front of a screen, or standing behind a counter. Even in rural areas.
Growth doesn’t just happen. People have to go places and build. UBI would make that process a shit ton easier.
They’re playing on the latent puritanism in US culture. The only reason it’s done is because it pushes peoples buttons and draws interest. The other options are what you see over seas, where either free speech is harshly curtailed, or people get over it, and advertisers stop because it doesn’t cause concerned citizens to lose their shit any more.
Blocked a few dozen, subscribed to maybe half a dozen. It got a lot easier once I figured out the app lets me block communities without having to open the community page.
Just waiting for that sea level rise to kick in. There’s plenty of anchorages that are still too shallow for my boat.
This is why I try to use authoritarian -ism when I’m not being lazy. Three reality is it’s nothing to do with left or right, it’s about control.
The movement of a tiny group of people relative to the size of the EU drastically shifted the entire political structure of the EU, leading to Brexit and several other countries considering the same. Magnify that affect by the number of people that will be moving due to climate change, and you get an extinction event.
Syrian refugees were the end result of climate shift in Syria.
It won’t matter if a small area is still habitable. The resolution of 7 billion people trying to fit into a space that fits a fraction of the population will end the species.
It took less than 1% of the population of Europe moving around to nearly break the EU. Watch what happens when it’s 10 to 20% of everyone everywhere.
Hotels have kitchenettes in most touristy type areas. Usually just the basics of a pan a pot and a couple utensils. But you can pick up everything you need nearby or through delivery.
I agree, if it’s not cheaper than a hotel, is there really a point to them?
DPRK isn’t communist, it’s an autocratic dictatorship. When you see a democratic country controlled by a party, and not an individual, you’ll see a communist country.
It’s cheaper to pay contractors that aren’t restricted by regulations.
Don’t bother, if they can’t leave a message, you didn’t want to talk to them.
