Trevor Noah interviewed the writer of The Anxious Generation on his podcast recently, if you prefer that to reading.
Either way. The author makes the point that part of the brain rewire of the latest generation is a predilection for authoritarian type people in charge.
Given the speed up of global warming I don’t think it’s crazy to assume powers will use their militaries to engage in resource grabs to hold their own as long as possible.
China is very very old, and since Trump, we’ve never been weaker. The balloons were a little clue.
Call in 100% of the debt, and then while the government is flailing, do the rest. Or use the lack of payback as a premise, not that someone as old as China would even care.
China is like that spry 89 year old who can run laps around 40 year olds and doesn’t give a single fuck, they’ll do and say what they want regardless of anyone around them. The 89 year old, who, when he gets up, there’s a hush in the room as everyone watches, knowing whatever it is they’re on their feet for, no one can stop it.
Both of these options involve taking the time to remove all tape, stickers, and other add ons.
I run cardboard through the bandsaw and slap the strips together to make new scratchpad inserts. Walmart now wants $10-13 for a small one, up from $3-5. It also breaks down boxes fast. Use a tiny bit of nontoxic school glue, in the middle of the strips. Too much glue and they’ll be too hard and the cat won’t use them. If I had to do the cutting by hand, I wouldn’t do it.
Break boxes down flat to kill swaths of lawn for garden space. Cover with garden dirt & compost. Alternatively, cover with wood chips, gravel, or rocks for borders or pathing.
Corporate has already bought up most of your doctor’s clinics. This is why you get 15min, no more, your appointment is gone if you’re 5min late, and may even have a fee charged for missing/not being on time for an appointment. It’s leading to doctor burnout.
Honestly, I’m surprised, in this economy, more terminal cancer individuals aren’t going out like this, human nature being what it is. You give people nothing left to lose and a percentage will go there.
The galling part of all this isn’t Trump. Cluster B personality disorder doing Cluster B personality things, like spewing a false reality and demanding people believe in it, is expected.
The galling part is all the dipshits following along. Most people ghost Cluster B, just not this country.
There’s a board who decides which patients qualify for the list. If you are someone who sat in a chair gaming, from teens to 30s, pickling your liver with alcohol for the duration, thus killing it, you won’t make that waiting list. Two reasons. You can’t be trusted to care for the new liver. You’re not a useful member of society.
Organ transplants happen when someone young and healthy dies, is in a position that those organs can be preserved, and the family, in the midst of their horror, shock, and grief, both allows the conversation and then agrees to the donation.
As such, if that sit in a chair gaming and pickling themself individual has a billionaire dad, maybe they go black market? Otherwise it’s hospice care.
