Human beings are genetically wired to avoid problems until the last possible moment when they have to mobilize. The situation will have to get much worse before people actually take climate change seriously. It’s unfortunate, but that’s what we are.

I almost did myself, but then I looked up the term,and I realized that Linux is exactly that. For me, it’s because I thought I knew what the term meant. I thought that it advocated for state owned software, because communism is all about state controlled property.

So, I was wrong.

This was a good read. Very interesting! I highly recommend it. It gives a compelling account of the conditions Russian soldiers are facing.

Misogyny becomes so normalized and institutionalized in a culture that even women sometimes do things and vote against their own best interests. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were a surprisingly high number of women who voted no.

Case in point, how many Christian conservative women vote against a women’s right to chose whether to carry a child to full term?

How is this not inciting violence and hatred?

I think that the government isn’t moving aggressively on this file because if they did, there would be a massive correction and many landlords would go bankrupt. It would be political suicide.

I think what they are hoping for is that the correction will happen organically and gradually so that they are not blamed for the fallout and so that the impact is diminished. The problem is, I don’t think that people can hold out and regardless, there will be some pain for all groups. The damage is already done, and fixing this will be painful.

Lol… you just proved my point. I never said it was a fact. It would be hard to quantify, but it could be done.

You’re right. You just proved my point. It’s my opinion. 😁
