I think its better to mold human behavior via urban design, draconian fines will just make it harder for the government to get anything positive done by making people who got pushed further into economic precarity while they weren’t harming anyone oppose it.

Tons of people end up in situations where 2 weeks income means choosing between food and homelessness.

Bollards preventing cars from going on sidewalks, the removal of street parking, and creation of parking garages/fields integrated into the public transit network (or just a shitton of bicycle/scooter shares) is a better solution.

In China, they can have a 6 lane median divided highway, a median divided lane for electrics, kei cars, motorcycles, etc, a median divided lane for bicycles, and 15 feet of sidewalk, and the cars still drive and park on the sidewalk.

No, its much worse, even low quality human writing typically has some intent and creativity, AI writing is always dull.

Leaving the parts of your campaign that don’t have any meaning blank is more respectful of the players than filling it with slop.

Wtf is going on with the girl on the left is this slop?

I would, but I am not traveling to Montana for soup.

The government will say birds are real.

And they got the number of fingers correct.

I mean yes, I love airshows, but there’s something about a mass celebration of these machines of death where a crowd gathered for a completely unrelated purpose gets to see the last thing an afghan child at a wedding sees gives ick in a way that normal airshows, even with all the military recruitment and propaganda don’t.

It doesn’t even apply to all flyovers, sometimes it’s like F-14s or Chinooks or WWII era planes where the message isn’t so dark.

Does anyone else also fly bombers and fighter jets over stadiums at the start of a game? Do you take 2-5 minutes to honor some guys in the military during half time?

I literally listed countries where you wouldn’t be meaningfully contributing to the system.

Periphery countries still contribute to the system; the US doesn’t have military bases in most of those countries by happenstance, but because keeping them in that position benefits the bourgeoisie.

To be clear, the answer isn’t to say everything is futile and hopeless, it’s to participate in organizations which don’t contribute to the system and build duel power within these countries, or just move to non-capitalist countries.

They do increase the monetary supply though, in 2008 it was .9 trillion, in 2020 it was 6.4T, and now it’s 5.6T.

Turns out inflation doesn’t quite work the way most economics courses teach. That may be related to the way billionaires fund a lot of university’s economics departments.

stop working for those billionaires

There is only a few countries you can move to that allows you to not contribute to those billionaires.

I’m not saying that fleeing the US isn’t a good idea.

That’s money (ideally) used to benefit everyone.

Not really; the federal government prints money; they don’t tax you to fund programs, they tax you to reduce the monetary supply.

State governments do have to be funded though.

I am not talking about taxes, I am talking about the profit the capitalists make off your labor. The trillion dollar media empire OP is talking about, Fox News, CNN, Reddit, twitter, etc aren’t funded by your taxes, though they are subservient to the state department.

Not to say that dodging federal taxes isn’t either good or neutral, but the problem isn’t specific to this administration.

Where are you living that the wealth you create doesn’t end up in the hands of billionaires who then spend it on propaganda to convince you and others that that is just?

Cuba? Vietnam? Laos? China?

If you’re working for a wage while they reap the profit or subject to market forces they dictate, they’re taking your money.

The English custom, afternoon tea, by the Duchess of enjoying, was introduced of bedford.

Why do they all run straight for hundreds of miles? None of the other deserts are like that.

What’s with blob of parallel watersheds in the middle of Australia?

I checked on google maps, it’s the Simpson Desert, it kinda looks like that. Anyone know why?
