The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.

It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.

Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to

Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.

… No, it’s to grant Biden wider power to retaliate against them for firing at commerical ships in international waters.

Good thing you aren’t making policy.

If your policy change is going to harm the less fortunate then you should re-evaluate the policy.

A land value tax just shifts those who can’t afford it out of their homes and hands more land over to the wealthy.

Land isn’t the problem with housing. The problem is that developers have figured out it’s more profitable to build fewer expensive properties than a large number of affordable ones. Not only do they have to do less work, but it keeps the market artificially low and so lets them charge more for what inventory they do have.

So they do just that.

And the residential development market has such a huge investment level to enter you won’t see many willing to roll the dice on mass producing affordable housing.

Show me a home builder who has plans which are less than 3k sqft these days. You won’t find one.

No way. That would fuck over way too many people who are just trying to live out their lives in the home they’ve built/purchased/inherited.

No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.

Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.

My Plex is ready.

You want to get things like this passed, you get a big enough group to just walk around down town in the rich area open carrying and mean mugging everyone.

Make the upper class uncomfortable. You’ll get that passes in no time.

They where none stop shelling Donbass

Yes, it so happens a civil war was being fought there.

But the majority of the fighting ended with the second Minsk accords. After 2017 on average only about a dozen people died a year from combat actions. So there couldn’t have been much shelling going on in 2022.

How does a dozen or two deaths a year warrant an escalation to a hundred thousand deaths a year?

took away the rights of the Russian speaking population many times

Which rights, when did this happen? I’m honestly curious abuot this.

flagrantly violated both minsk accords.

Both sides did that. A lot.

But what does that have to do with Russia’s 2022 invasion? Putin himself said that Russia would not get involved in the enforcement of the Minsk accords because it was an internal Ukrainian matter.

Also you are convenently forgetting that Russia has REPEATEDLY offered peace treaties,

Because Russia wants to not only keep the land they’ve invaded but also dictate the way Ukraine conducts it’s diplomatic relations with other nations. Ukraine is fighting for it’s sovereignty here. Russia is trying to take that away.

Oppressed how?

Across all sides (Civilian, Military, Ukranian and Russian), an estimated 150-200K people have died and half a million wounded since the start of the invasion in 2022.

What kind of oppression could possibly been having taken place that necessitates such an escalation?

Neither side intentionally targets civilians.

War is hell. But Russia, as the aggressor in this war, is the one in the wrong here.

Why does everyone keep saying child poverty?

Like, do children in other countries have some sort of massive wealth I’m not aware of?

Equipment and training for servicing as well.

S2 was ordered before all of S1 even aired.

I’m not giving up mobile deposit.

Leave my house? Duck that.

I’m excited for it for the same reasons.

I don’t have skill in art or coding.

But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.

Do I need sources for the failed invasion of Kyiv?

Everyone knows about it.

This comment is the equivalent of some guy telling you that you’ll be paid in exposure and that the exposure is going to be worth way more than money in the long run, just trust me bro.

Thanks, I deleted my comment
