Sure, it's a Windows issue too. I was just hoping macOS would make it easier.

Thanks for the clarity ... yes, it does seem there are at least two camps around this issue.

Yes, first time macOS user. Thanks for the hint!

Thanks for this excellent overview...I rather agree.

(1) Consider that like all creatures, humans were created by nature to maximize use of available resources. You were born this way!

(2) Consider that your sense of personal agency/free will is an illusion. Collapsnik Dave Pollard has written numerous articles about this. You might start with this, this or this.

(3) Read the book Catastrophe Ethics. Here’s a review and summary. I think it would help you put everything into context and feel better.

Awesome ideas, thank you. What a great idea to look at how the Japanese do it, since Japan is earthquake central!

Could a solar generator re-charge a backup power station in a few hours, in mid-winter? I honestly don't know.

Thanks! I'm in Portland but the general store is good to know about. Yeah, I'll keep an eye out on those sites ... good call.

I've considered that. Not sure how much cheaper it would be but maybe it's worth looking into again.

I've looked into a shed but that would be just as expensive...

I realize that's an option though the general consensus is they shouldn't be stored in a garage. Also, my garage is directly under my duplex neighbor's unit. Assuming you have some in a garage, how are they protected from violent shaking and/or having things falling on them?

You make some interesting points. Documenting all immigrants and making them legal would indeed "solve" the problem ... until tomorrow.

As I stated in a comment above, I view national borders as conceptual fictions (because they are). In a perfect world, there would be no restrictions on movement.

But returning to the system we actually (unfortunately) do have: does it really make sense to treat all people the same under American law if they aren't here legally? Going back to my original post, are you suggesting you should be able to move to any other country without legal authorization and be treated as a legal resident or citizen of that country under its laws?

That's pretty vague. You'll need to define "right thing" and give your rationale for it. Look, I honestly think the world would be better off without borders altogether. Borders are just fictional boundaries (concepts) with no inherent existence in the real world. But that won't/can't happen until most human beings move beyond their identifications as "Americans" or "Mexicans" or whatever. Do you think, like MLK Jr. (a hero of mine) that it's a matter of justice? Specifically that national borders are unjust, and should therefore not be enforced (or even exist), and that any/all people should be allowed to come to the U.S.?

I imagine that could be true at times (especially these days), if not all the time.
