That just sounds like a functioning community with extra steps
Many people are willing to advocate for marriage as the solution to the epidemic of poor children in single-parent households. But only brave souls such as myself are willing to take the extra step and advocate for polyamorous marriage as a solution to the epidemic of 2-parent households in poverty.

Don't you just hate it when a paper summarizes a section with "more research is needed"?
Isn't that always the case?

The Fordist social contract was: consumer capitalism BUT with wages high enough to buy anything you need to live well.
The Reaganites breached the second part of the contract.
The social contract with capital is void.

Nothing to make you feel like an old man like discovering that there's this guy, and he made an album in 2008, and this album sounds just like this other album from 2008 by another band that you absolutely LOVED, and then realizing that he literally collaborated with them in 2008, and still does.

Thermodynamics is like black magic.
Pressurized air gets cold if it expands but if you pass it through a turbine while expanding it will be colder.
If you vent it into a special tube it will come out hot on one end and cold on the other.

A/C is just ridiculous. 1kW or more to cool a whole room to cool a human that barely needs 100W of cooling to feel comfortable. 2kW to cool a car which doesn't even have proper insulation and loses most of it.
