I mean, planes already inject, release, or disperse a lot of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances into the atmosphere, namely CO2 and water, which is why there are contrails.

America’s Magical Thinking About Housing: The city of Austin built a lot of homes. Now rent is falling, and some people seem to think that’s a bad thing (www.theatlantic.com)

If you want to understand America’s strange relationship with housing in the 21st century, look at Austin, where no matter what happens to prices, someone’s always claiming that the sky is falling....

This is one of the corners we’ve painted ourselves into. Housing is too expensive, but it’s also the nest-eggs for a lot of people. So we either keep the price of housing high and people can’t afford it, or we lower the price of housing and a lot of ordinary folks who did what they were told was good will lose out.

Of course the change wouldn’t be immediate, and wouldn’t completely devalue homes across the country. However, people who were planning on their house going up 50% in value but only see it go up 30% in value won’t feel too good about that.

This isn’t so much about the fairness of the policy, but the politics. Existing homeowners have a lot of power at the local level, and are usually politically involved. If these people feel short-changed they won’t have happy feelings for the party that got it passed. But I guess that’s why they’re called “reactionaries.”

You know what would eliminate fraud and abuse of these programs? Making them universal. Kinda hard to defraud a program that everyone gets.

It also doesn’t help that rebuilding democratic institutions takes a long time, and people have rent due every month.

It’s like telling someone their house is burning down that we’re going to fix climate change so that won’t happen anymore.

I wonder how much all of the price increases are due to the commercial real estate market…

I personally think the book is an exploration of what a militaristic society would look like if faced by a external threat, and that it should be taken at face value, but there are plenty of critics who have read more books than I have with much less favourable interpretations.

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you’re still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying “well I buy a cheap used laptop” or “well I buy...

You can pick up a refurbed MacBook for under $800. Or maybe it’s a hand-me down. Or maybe, like me, at the end of a contract their employer said “We ran out of money so consider your laptop payment.”

"A strong signal to China": Model of the "Pillar of Shame," a memorial to the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, was unveiled outside the European Parliament in Brussels (edition.cnn.com)

Depicting a heap of contorted bodies and screaming faces, the statue was unveiled Tuesday as part of an exhibition of “forbidden art” that organizers said had been censored or “deemed subversive” by Hong Kong and mainland China....

If China didn’t censor everything to do with something that totally didn’t happen I’m sure they’d be very upset.
