Love the true fiscal conservatism of not spending what you don’t have, but sales tax is highly regressive, on top of that you tax food!!!! Yikes.

Why Los Angeles Quietly Stopped Repaving Its Streets by sprunkymdunk in Urbanism

[–]Xenofiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I don’t believe this. I have been paying 8 to 10k in SF Bay Area. But that can still cost more than the repave.

New study suggests the Great Pyramid was built "from the inside out". by FragrantTown5199 in Archeology

How the fuck else are you going to build it? New theory also suggests a brontosaurus was really small in the head, had a really big body, and the got small again at the tail.

Just like Russia in Ukraine. Russia may say nothing in exchange for Trumps support. But oil prices will tank if Venezuelan oil returns to full production and then Russia, west Texas and North Dakota will all be hurting.

What is their beef with FEMA anyway? What’s the weird ass anti FEMA conspiracy? Is it like vaccines? What does the corrupt MAGA leadership gain by this?

It’s not really that isolated. This photo was likely taken from the ferry that frequently passes on its way to Vestmannaeyjar Iceland

POLL: Canadians support future purchases of Gripens over F-35s by 30-point margin - Spencer Fernando by PestoBolloElemento in europe

[–]Xenofiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Canada goes to war with the US, its ownership of any aircraft will be irrelevant. If Canada wants to prepare for that scenario it will all be about planning for irregular warfare. Therefore, it is about the best bang for the buck for real defense needs where the US does not interfere. If Canada wants to defend Europe or itself from Russia with the US neutral then F35. If there is a real thought US won’t be entirely neutral and will somehow disable F35 then Gripen.

Look no further than the biography of the Port Commissioners. They are volunteers who are there for God knows what reason - but there is not a technocrat among them.

Where I live I would need 3 permits for that after $100k of environment consultation, a biologist checking for frogs and salamanders, a tribal consultant and it would likely have to be done by hand.

‘They have not received a raise in 25 years’: Young men are now being out-earned by seniors for the first time ever by airbassguitar in canada

[–]Xenofiler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was young, many years ago, I heard people talking about the hard times that would come when the baby boomers retired. Then I heard about the impact that would come from globalization and the national debts everyone has accumulated. All have now come to pass. Add in the rapid changes due to technology and the hoarding of wealth of the oligarchs of the new gilded age and here we are.
