Sadly, in the US, we can't do that because NIMBYs tie everything up in the courts until projects go bankrupt and get abandoned.

Maybe in Europe, but in the US At-will employment means that you can be fired at any moment without cause, without warning and without severance.

It is unusual and I don't like it, but I wouldn't say it is bad. If I liked the person I would probably come to like the name.

Cars are useful in rural areas, absolutely, but cities should primary be built as walkable communities connected by trams, trains, buses and bike paths.

Car dependency is completely unsustainable in the same way that flying your car off a cliff is a flight that cannot be sustained.

We joke, but Ronald Reagan signed California's gun control laws because the Black Panthers had guns and minorities having guns scares conservatives

Great point. When the country has fallen to fascism is not the time to implement gun control.

The law can be whatever we collectively want it to be. The entire point of having Amendments is that the Constitution was supposed to be a living document that we would refine and improve over time.

Like farmers who refuse to let the government plant shelter belts to preserve our top soil all because they don't want to take a 5% hit on their yields... So instead we're going to deplete our top soil in 50 years and future generations will be completely fucked because creating 1 inch of top soil takes 500 years.

I never tried that, but if you fill a bottle with water and submerge it in water then you can drill holes in the glass without it shattering

Any US companies eager to hire new CS grads?

Also, DJT is just the tip of late-stage-capitalism's iceberg of evil so wake me up after we abolish billionaires, convert all large companies into worker co-ops, and design our cities to be walkable places connected by public transportation

Basic dignity will always be at odds with profit motive. We need eternal vigilance and working class solidarity to keep capitalism in check
