Wait until they find out the greatest army ever was....

Wait for it....

ALL GAY!
The all-gay Sacred Band of Thebes was one of the most effective and respected military units of ancient Greece, achieving an undefeated streak for approximately 40 years. However, calling any single army the "best ever" is challenging, as the definition of "best" change across eras and contexts. The Sacred Band is renowned for its discipline and courage, but it did ultimately meet its defeat. Military success of the Sacred Band Unique formation: Composed of 150 pairs of male lovers, the Theban generals believed this bond would make soldiers fight more fiercely to protect their partners and to avoid shame in their presence. Defeated the Spartans: In 371 BCE helped crush the Spartan army, which had been considered invincible.

If you don't have a special place I'm happy to share mine.

I laid the seeds
Waited and tended. I have been rewarded with abundance. My Lil 140 SQ ft garden put out 45 lbs of potatoes, 50 lbs of tomatoes, carrots are looking bountiful as well; kept me in lettuce, celery and herbs all summer.
I am rich beyond words.
A small sample:
Cucumbers, red and yellow tomatoes in a blue collander. Red and Yukon potatoes. A small white dog inspects.

We can eliminate the EC. We need just a few more states to join the compact.
You may need to open graphic to see in full.
In order for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) to take effect, states representing a majority of electoral votes (270 out of 538 total) need to join the compact. Currently, 18 jurisdictions (including 17 states and the District of Columbia) have joined the NPVIC. These jurisdictions possess a total of 209 electoral votes. Therefore, 61 more electoral votes are needed for the compact to be activated (270 - 209 = 61). This means that several more states would need to join the compact to reach the required number of electoral votes.

No one is "having babies" in the US.
The US birth rate has reached its lowest point in history, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The total fertility rate, which estimates the average number of children a woman will have in her lifetime, has fallen below 1.6, significantly below the 2.1 needed to maintain a stable population. This decline is observed across all states and age groups of women.

It started with a small raised bed of flowers years ago. Now it's flowers and food.
Compact, messy a little wild and my favorite place to be.

One day. Just one day where every retailer sold absolutely nothing. (Black Friday for example)
Just one day where not one worker went to work.
Just one day where everyone participated in protest- hold block parties, march et al.
Just one day.
Potential for long-term impact: A single-day event is unlikely to cause a long-term economic downturn. However, if the boycott garnered significant media attention and led to sustained shifts in consumer behavior, it could lead to changes in company policies or even influence government policy. Some studies show that boycotts are most effective when they generate a lot of media coverage and target a single, high-profile company. In essence, even a 24-hour work stoppage and spending boycott in America would be far from negligible and could potentially initiate a chain of disruptions felt across various sectors of the economy.

Oh, Rad! It's lovely. ☺️ Yes. That is my back yard! Although I've changed it a wee bit. Added a small veg patch.

No that's not a grave. It's potatoes. 😉
