[screaming at the top of my lungs, once again] the fundamental technology of humanity is care
We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Small cities and towns that build their economy around modernity (colleges, healthcare, tourism, green energy), improve density, and welcome diversity are likely to do just fine. Asheville isn't huge but it's absolutely a success story. It's places that refuse modernity that are fucked.

its really just that simple, theres an entire network of well-funded morons that can turn “litter boxes in classrooms” into a giant campaign issue whereas “armed goons sending kindergarten teachers to slave labor camps” gets ignored

the appeal of the Avatar movies is the visual spectacle of Pandora as an exotic environment with a diverse array of cool animals and plants
it's a nature documentary with a stapled-on sci-fi action through line
if it was narrated by david attenborough this would be more obvious

See also the persistent anger among conservatives about seeing gay or interracial couples in TV commercials. The government doesn't decide what's on your TV, but to them "the government" is a parent-like concept that substitutes for anyone who runs anything in society

they should have just shot everyone at malheur in the head and walked away
there's a through-line in my mind (probably pigeon superstition tho) from the Malheur fiasco to this, where it seems like the Dems really do believe there's enough agitated right-wingers ready to start shooting that they need to walk on eggshells to avoid a civil war

If you want to understand the Keynesian multiplier on government spending in a dirtbag way: a few hundred thousand dollars creates billions of dollars in oysters that are harvested and sold for no less than a dollar along with much more expensive cocktails. That’s so much Economy overall.
The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

Man, am I grateful for sewers. I cleaned my apartment this morning, took a shower, use the bathroom, I’m currently running the dishwasher and doing several loads of laundry. All that dirty water is being handled by the Northwest Bergen County Utility Authority. Amazing stuff.
