Who else to call out the atrocities of car culture than the underdogs who are most affected by it?

I have been both riding bicycles and driving huge trucks, not at the same time. And when driving was far less likely to be critical; I would think “this is bad”, and left it there. Five minutes later forgotten.

But when I rode bicycles these very things impacted me much more; I would stew in anger. Then , in that mindset I could more easily reflect on the absolute travesty: not just where I was but roads and metal things slicing up the landscape over continents.

I use templeOS btw

That “democracy” has many issues: I personally believe it’s beyond saving. But if one wishes to make it be real, paper ballots counted by witnesses is a required first step.

This fundamental requirement to democracy is missing in most of the USA, and it is not easy to generate interest to promote change. People refuse to take it seriously, the press will ignore it, and there is a weird cult about computers being required to count votes.

I have decided Americans, as a nation, can never understand how democracy works. They believe in voting but require some oligarch to tell them the results. The fix is in for most primary winners and the general elections are run in a way to maximize profits.

Laughable as that may be, it is a permanent problem in many states, and cannot be solved. This broken democracy cannot not be a solution to the problems.

That said, it’s certainly possible to use this as a solution to local areas and a few states. Just never the whole nation

When it gets to 7%, is that when there is more malware designed for Linux desktop ?

Listen to the wise politicians:

Woke weather agitators will send our glorious nation to heck.
