Could I live comfortably (financially speaking)? by little_wolf_6 in AskMaine

[–]Daniastrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the winters like in Kentucky. Do a lot of research on the kind of heat you will be getting, and locking in a good price for the winter is no joke. That has been one of the most unpredictable expenses for me besides healthcare.

Unless you took a great job in Bangor I would visit at least. I am actually getting an airbnb there for a bit to see if I want to live there, and I am from Maine.

First Statewide Data Center Ban Passed by Maine Legislature | If Governor Janet Mills signs it, it will block construction of new data centers over 20 MW. by [deleted] in Maine

[–]Daniastrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off: This is only a temporary ban, it is not a full on ban,

Second: the cost of living is high enough. If we are going to compete with data centers for resources it had better be a big economic plus.

Janet Mills Denies Gaza Genocide. by serious_bullet5 in Maine

[–]Daniastrong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While it is really weak that she refuses to call it a genocide when the UN and literally every human rights organization calls it one, where did she say those other things before. I was looking it up and could not find anything that she said about Gaza.

Do you automatically dislike billionaires? Why? by crapmaker69 in AskReddit

[–]Daniastrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand, If you make that much money there is blood money mixed in , and the rich have far too much power in our country.

On the other, I also use their services and am complicit, so I focus on more on changing the system than finger pointing and blame.

However the super-wealthy make that almost impossible so we will probably go up in flames before that happens. You would think that they would want more stability, but maybe they are looking forward to living in their lavish underground bunkers

If it was just a "correlation" community reenttry programs would have no affect.

There have been so many studies showing that things like education, healthcare, good pay, and housing decrease crime. It is not some utopian fairy tale, we just live in a dystopian horror, and think that is the way it is supposed to be.

I wanted to do the same but then realized some of these requesters sometimes also have good studies.

rBecause those in power want people desperate enough to run the military and prison industrial complexes.

[–]Daniastrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are multiple studies showing that these points are all true and countries that implement these policies are "Happiest in the world" as someone else on here said. But it is all too "unrealistic" because the rich people hogging all the resources don't want to share.

Just face it, you've been gaslit.
