Always looking for ways to meet with people who live nearby so we can organize our community. Not... succeeding for 20 years is kind of discouraging.

Anyone who talks about affordable housing, I immediately change the subject to public housing. Public housing is great. We should take some of the affordable houses and turn them into public housing. If they really insist on talking about affordable housing, I start intoning phrases like "abolish landlords" and "rent control."

Got it right here. It's labeled $1.99, back from a day when not every inch of every surface was covered in branding. Couldn't therefore say its name.

> If everybody who says 3rd party candidates aren't viable actually voted for one, they would be entirely viable.
I'd uh... run the numbers on that again. Even in the best of circumstances, FPTP really does screw over third parties, and so does single winner elections. Not that you shouldn't vote third party if you want but... it's not all in our heads.

The terrifying thing about it is borders have never been more closed than they are now. Humanity is migrating at an unprecedented rate never before seen by any organism, taking our disease and invasive species with us, and yet we are only allowed to *travel,* not move. We have vast surveillance and accounting to ensure people are imprisoned in their birth nation, incredibly restrictive immigration requirements, and laws all the way back to Rome geared at preventing people from escaping their oppressors.
None of that will matter before an actual drought driven migration, but it will mean good decent people forgetting their compassion and coldly gunning down refugees fleeing for their lives. Normally that only happens in isolated incidents, and the mass murder only starts when elites start to send armies at their neighbors, but now we have a wholesale persecution machine prepped to make us slaughter people not for trying to invade, or to drive us from our homes, but simply for trying to escape. That didn't exist in the last big American drought; elites had very little clue who was allowed to be where back then.

The worst thing about the city forcing businesses to bow before crummy landlords is that the lords can simply refuse to renew the lease, even if the business is doing well. They can force our businesses to be worse and less efficient ,by evicting them as soon as they start treating employees decently, respecting minorities, or producing good, healthy, high quality products.
No amount of success can shield a business from this; they will still have to take the huge financial hit of completely rebuilding their entire facility in a new location (assuming landlords aren't conspiring together, again) (assuming one landlord doesn't already have a monopoly over all commercial real estate within the nearest 50 miles).

Should come as no surprise that women get paid less, when we allow the NBA to totally exclude women to the point that they have to found a WNBA just to get a chance to play basketball. It's this sexually segregated system that causes the pay gap. No miracle on earth is going to make the WNBA as popular as the NBA. Sexists can oppress women without looking sexist, just by preferentially funding the men's organization. Oh sure they totally support and are rooting for the female only organization (heh heh) but they simply haven't got the cash after investing $50mil more in the NBA. Not sexist at all!
