But it’s still her land not yours. She decides what she wants done with it. Regardless of if the situation changed in how remote or not the land is does not change it was hers to decide.
I mean I’m happy for you but a weak person runs away from being told they’re wrong by numerous people. Blocking won’t change the fact that you’re wrong.
Specifically, people are interested in having more power over outcomes eg avoiding hunger, discomfort, loneliness etc.
And in many cases we need to acknowledge that this is a good thing. Everyone should be empowered to have more control and more autonomy. The problem is not everyone is afforded that luxury.
This month, a group of mostly Black and immigrant Uber and Lyft drivers in Minneapolis won their fight for a minimum pay rate when the Minneapolis City Council refused to be bullied by the rideshare corporations.

I’ll tell you the nasty truth. You’re right, but if a politician ran a campaign to strip Israel of all their benefits of American Exceptionalism they will be crushed in the polls. They won’t just lose they will be decimated.
Why?
Because despite what you say, many of those Jews you are referring to are actually Zionists once cutting off the hand that feeds their homeland is threatened.
Non-Jews need to understand that unlike Christianity there is a level of identity politics steeped in nationalism, religion and culture are all so heavily intertwined it’s hard to break through. I’m speaking from experience. 3 of my kids are Jewish.
I feel sorry for those sane Israelis that are powerless as their insanely right wing government kills any hope they have for a safe future thanks to destroying an already tenuous relationship with all their neighbours in the ME.
The argument is the more you “enjoy” something the less enjoyable it becomes.
I love music but am not an audiophile but intimately aware of them.
The example I use is this.
I love music. My library is massive consisting of MP3s of various quality some of which are horrible rips with huge compression and loss.
I know audiophiles. They stress lossless compression and will go out of their way to find that Tool album in FLAC and will shit on anything less.
There’s a fundamental difference between me saying 'i think the Queen album ‘News Of The World’ is amazing" and “you really can’t appreciate the album unless you hear it in the original vinyl pressing”
Anecdotal but in my career in corporate this has been the order of operations
Employees get any old equipment free if asked
Employees can pay for any old equipment if asked at a reduced cost
Employees can’t get any old equipment
The reason was they company wasn’t getting any benefit to give away the equipment. Then it was too much of a hassle to write paperwork for the sales which are then used to write down refreshes. Then they just blanket sold to another company which as an employee you then have to engage but with no discounts.
These big businesses make money hands over feet but god forbid they let Joe Employee keep his old laptop for his kid as an unofficial perk of working there.

I may give it another kick my challenge is I take my pills in the morning and need food and I’m not gonna stop eating at 4pm. Gotta figure out how to shift things around. So far just cutting out the crap has helped immensely
