Thanks for posting this! I've been meaning to get something in this vein.
A bit of advice for those like me who don't like sunscreen, long sleeve fishing shirts with SPF protection are awesome for hot weather. They breathe wonderfully and have kept me from burning despite all day rides. I don't like that they're all plastic of some kind, so I've been looking into hemp shirts, they naturally block uv, and I've had good luck with them as well.
There are alternatives to owning a tractor yourself. Finding a group of people who would use the tractor is feasible. Setup a democratic system to control the use of the tractor and a system of dues to ensure it is well maintained. Basically treat the tractor as a commons that people can exploit in an ethical manner.
This kind of system can be expanded to all means of production in theory. All capital treated as commons for workers to use.
This has the added benefit of being feasible within the current system, makes it easier for workers to survive, and acting as material evidence for alternative economic systems.
If I carpool, 25 minutes. If I take public transit 1.5 hours. If I ride a bike 1 hour. I usually carpool there and leave at 3 to take transit back. I tend to work on the bus.
Agreed, I switched to their unlimited tier pretty quickly
I've been using it for a few months. It's good. I get the official docs for my first result using OP's query. 300 queries, their starting tier was not enough for my use. I was using DDG before and like it well enough. I'm not sure if it's worth it but I like the idea of paying for services I use. I stopped using Google years ago because of all the captchas I had to fill due to my VPN
Depends on the plant. Some plants, like plum or fig trees, have a lot of suckers poking out of the ground and putting up shoots. If they get disconnected from the rest of the roots they keep on growing.
You're not wrong, but that doesn't contradict what I said. Just because some Jews are willing to take anti-semetically motivated help doesn't make that help not anti-semetic. The added effect on diaspora Jews is destabilizing as well. Every antisemite can justify abuse by telling people just to go to Israel.
This is a tangent but, a common belief is that Jews needed an ethnically Jewish state in Palestine in order to live there. That is not true. Jewish folks have lived in that area continuously for millennia. In a lot of ways Zionism is a power grab. It's a way to grab land to get rich in a speculative land market. It's not dissimilar from how the genocide of indigenous peoples played out in the United States.
The existence of Israel as a state has an antisemitic history. Britain, created Israel so Jews would have a place to go. So Britain wouldn't have to take them. The reaction should not have been let's create a place where Jews can be expelled to. We should have ensured refugees of all kind had places to go no matter where they came from. We should have made societies that Jews could feel safe in. Instead we created a people without a land.
There's another factor here. People who are vegan, sober, poly, don't drive, and any number of choices are breaking societal norms. Most people don't even think about these things as choices. They do the default. Realizing that there's a choice, and that this person decided not to do the default, puts people off. It makes them uncomfortable. They begin to question things they've never had to evaluate.
The Fed is a slightly different beast. They don't spend money into existence like the government does. They lend money into existence. Their primary lever is at what interest rate that lending is done. Anderson Cooper believes in the Chicago School, the poor sod. It's basically the premier economic theory of the US establishment
Yeah, I had to install a different launcher Bliss is not my style. I've been enjoying lawnchair tho
