  • That’s not going to change the price of fertilizer, growing your own is going to get expensive too.

    Like, shit is accelerating the shortage, but it was happening anyways. And there’s legitimately no solution. There’s things we can do to mitigate it, but it’s just kicking the can down the road at this point.

    Like, you know how people always said “we grow enough food, it’s a distribution problem”…

    That’s not going to be true for much longer, the planet just can’t support anywhere near this amount of humans without fertilizer, and we’re running out. We need multiple kinds, and the ones we can “make” are made from finite resources.

    Shits going to get rough, and gardens are not going to fix it.




  • The state’s three investor-owned utilities, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas and Electric, aren’t in imminent financial danger and last year saw profits rise. But fire costs have contributed to Californians paying the second-highest electricity rates in the country, and lawmakers and Newsom’s office worry that if it becomes harder for utilities to borrow money those bills will continue to climb. The utilities together provide power for about three-quarters of the state.

    Newsom and the lawmakers say utilities are held responsible for too much after a wildfire and that bad actors like hedge funds are taking advantage to get a cut. If another devastating wildfire triggers damages too high for a utility to pay, the potentially resulting bankruptcy would make it even harder for victims to collect.

    Trickle down and too big to fail…

    We’re fucked if it’s Newsome in 2028, because the incoming Dem president picks the DNC chair

    And Newsom will take us back to neoliberals







  • It’s not a joke, there’s a very plausible chance he’s dead, or seriously injured and not getting proper medical care.

    If he’s dead, and the people around him are hiding it, then that is a very serious crime. If he’s seriously injured and not getting proper care, that’s elder abuse.

    So when there’s a plausible chance, law enforcement can do a welfare check. They show up at the residence, and investigate.

    Like, it’s a normal thing…

    The reason I found a specific case in Kentucky like that, is to show that even just not reporting was a serious felony. The amount of bond is likely because that dude most likely killed his wife and that’s why he didn’t report her death, also that it involved him sending messages pretending to be her. With McConnell releasing public messages to his constituents, if those aren’t him it’s even more serious.








  • Ok…

    So complain about Fortune magazine…

    Or at least click the link to see which part of the headline AOC actually said before blaming her for the entire headline.

    Like, it’s just such a weird line to care enough to read the headline and write a comment…

    But not take the two seconds to see what her actual quote says.

    “Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We’re grown adults with mortgages and kids,” she said. “And we—that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we’re taking the reins.”

    What about that is “generational warfare” that upset you so much?

    Do you disagree with the reality of what she’s saying?

    Or do you acknowledge it’s true, and are just upset someone said it? Because saying it is what wins elections.
