Other organisms and natural disasters do that, too. Ice ages, meteors, waves of diseases. The difference seems to be we have the consciousness to predict consequences, then decide whether to embark upon a path of behavior, or continue it when latent consequences emerge. I guess the question ends up being whether the course chosen is "natural," and how can we know, since plenty of organisms kill the host, while also surviving and even propagating? Then observation also changes the behavior of things. And we don't kill everything. Just whatever life is left continues to evolve in expected and unexpected ways.

Our carcasses could end up being petrochemicals of the emerging life forms.

I literally laughed aloud. Thanks, mate.

It happens. Sometimes just "I need some personal time."

"it's been fun, but I'm tired now. Look forward to seeing you another time."

Ikr?!

Pretty much any nation state, afaict.

We have to focus on mutual aid. Identity politics of either major party seems very much designed to be this way, and maybe of any party that makes it onto a ballot.

The video is posted, it's solid.

Ride is late, had time to watch the video. Salient points. https://youtu.be/iWf7PPhGGCM

Yes, how dare I allow anyone else who may have sources to post, or sleep? Such a horrible thing. I have the YT by this morning, but being such a horrible person, I have to attend to personal duties, before I can watch it and decide whether or not to post.

If necessities were socialized: clean, decent food, water, shelter, sustainable utilities, including internet, clean, safe, efficient public transportation, basic quality (durable, not hideous, well-made, well-fitting) clothing allowance, natural resources, clean air, land; and designer clothing, mansions, caviar, champagne, Bugattis, Fendi bags were capitalized, profits and capital, private holdings over a certain amount were taxed at 1950s rates of 93%, I'd be completely fine with that.

Didn't Mussolini hate sheep and people actively hid* them from his view?

And Leo Strauss.

USA has a really wrong idea of fiduciary duty.

Someone elsewhere said Blackrock is writing her economic policy but I've not found anything during a brief search, so I can't verify it. If they send the URL, I'll post it.

I should have known, when I read all the comments posted under the story I read about it earlier. Nonetheless, there is the ongoing issue wrt Palestinians and their plight.

Yes

maybe California shouldn't have a 3-5 YEAR waitlist for section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers housing?

I live in a deep red state and it's that wait, or more, here, and I believe it's a lottery system, at that.
