My solution would be a mix a ethanol and Styrofoam in a glass bottle, applied to any business that you think should be participating in the strike.

Damn dude, you ever reconsider a position after being ratio-ed that hard?

Ok but one instance is not a good sample size.

I do understand that revolution allows authoritarians to swoop in and take control, but my only question is, HOW MUCH TIME WILL REFORMS TAKE? Because if it is more than 1 year, we don’t have the time. Sorry. It’s that simple. Thermodynamics is a real bitch sometimes and WE DONT HAVE TIME to be dicking around for the next 10 years while the people in power claim they are working on changing things.

Edit: please everyone go read some climate science data and tell me we can afford a few more years of this shit.

With a large bladed machine.

I cannot express how deeply I want people to consider the effects of things at a system scale. Every. Single. Day. I mention to someone that something we are dealing with is evil, something seemingly benign. I have to try to explain why this thing is bad and it just seems so good damned obvious to me because I have been thinking this way for years. But for most people, cause and effect ends when they close their eyes.

Forgive me, it’s not good news that a company has it. That’s evil and they will destroy people lives. BUT the yeast exists now. When we die out because we are unimaginably stupid, that yeast is likely to live on and help the bees to do so as well. The bees i more worried about because they don’t love heat

The GOOD news is that yeast doesn’t really respect property lines. Or quarantines. Or much of anything. That shit will spread organically easily enough. It will be a while, but now that the strain exists (and is being constantly refreshed with the corpro product) it should help all bees everywhere. Maybe bees will start farming it like ants do. Would be fun

Oops I mined the runway. Oops a drone hit the runway. Oops the air defense isn’t actually all out and now 300 American paratroopers are dead.

If we bent our entire economy around it, yeah maybe. We’re not doing that and that wouldn’t be a “success.” It would be a phyrric victory AT BEST.

How do think a ground invasion of Iran, the famously impossible to invade area for literally thousands of years, would go? Do you think that it would be like Iraq where the USA blitzkrieged with tanks through to the capital? Not likely. The entire region is mountains. Rock slides would be a disaster in waiting (and able to be triggered via artillery or drones) at every turn.

There was reporting that they were going to charge in yuan exclusively.

No more dollar as the world reserve currency. Death of the petrodollar.

Glorious.

In the USA, if they try to force me, I will chew our their jugulars and be shot on the spot. I will not die alone though I promise you.

Over my rotten corpse.

To be perfectly frank, with the system we had set up, that was inevitable. It would have been better if it happened 40 years ago, better to happen now than in another 40 years.

Clearly, if one point of failure causes it to collapse within a month, the system was not stable. There was no other path but collapse of the global economy.

We have different meanings of the word country, is all

The United States is dead. The people where it once stood could make a good society again, it will just not be anything like the one before.

If that were to happen, the laws that govern this nation would need rewritten entirely. The regulations that govern business need rewritten. The foundations of our social contract must be renegotiated.

I don’t want to live in a nation populated by Nazis or their supporters. If there is no punishment for them, the nation remains dead permanently. Nazi Germany did not go far enough in punishing the perpetrators. Japan did not go far enough in punishing the perpetrators.

I don’t think it is safe for society to allow them to simply duck their heads and be folded back in. These are dangerous, selfish, hateful people who will do everything in their power to undermine society and to teach their children to do so after them for decades after this.

Everything happening now is directly trackable to the civil war and the sabotaged/failed reconstruction that allowed hatred, racism and resentment to fester. It was never dealt with in government, in fact, the government often encouraged it.

I do not want to repeat history. I want a society of people who want to be a part of that society. Not forced into it by exploitation and coercion. I don’t want society to be more akin to a back alley mugging where most of us are unable to leave, despite desperately wanting to.

I have been saying for months the laws are dead. The social contract has been incinerated. Our nation is dead, irrecoverable.

It’s a real shame they are so far from me. Wish I could hand deliver a gift basket.

I’m not convinced we won’t hear about similar done in Israel. If they had any scientific incentive to do so, I have little doubt they would be willing to.

You do not need to replace your entire diet with home grown produce. Supplement the food you buy from the store with whatever you can grow in the small area you have. You can get a surprisingly good haul from 25ft².

Plant the 3 sisters (beans, corn, squash/pumpkin) together in a small area to maximize shelf stable production. You will need to do a small amount of research on planting times but the times are fast approaching.

Have you seen it? The play?
