The article was talking about how Mamdani will have to handle the rich if he is elected. For the rest of us it suggests revolution.

Let me add just how awful the park is. You have to drive there obviously, and the approach is laden with kitschy cowboy and old west themed tourist traps and overpriced hotels. Then you pay $20 for a parking space and get to gaze at the thing from a mile away. Exit through the gift shop where you can buy a plastic replica made in Shenzhen. Quintessentially American.

We're at the point in wealth concentration where you can just look at someone and tell when they think poor people should be slaves. He looks like the Monopoly Man.

I think this development is already a part of the elite survival plan though. It won't take much for the high net-worth individuals to avoid the street level altogether. The only people actually dying will be their lackies and stooges. And you'll see a lot more autonomous defense systems popping up to mitigate the damage.

It's not an accident. There's a high chance of randomly killing someone evil if you walk into any Park Ave office building.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard the Republicans are imploding, or the Democrats are imploding...

I'm really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don't care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.

Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you've conquered nature, too.

This would be great to exploit for some kind of reservoir-based heating and cooling system.

As a geologist I think the deep time context makes this pretty interesting. Florida is a shallow limestone platform that was built underwater. It's only been above ground for the past few million years because recently our planet has had a lot of polar ice cover. Its position above sea level is just as anomalous as the insane developmental practices of the boomers. So it's fitting that they both go down together now, although it's unfortunate for all of the people who suffer needlessly because of their arrogance.

I hope successive generations will learn to live in harmony with nature and accept that their actions have consequences outside of their tiny worldview.

Yeah I think I get it, betrayal is a strong emotion. But now instead of realizing who their real enemies are (their class antagonists), they're doubling down on fighting about election results.

Whatever is in the fridge. If I'm at the store, asparagus, some mushrooms, maybe talk to the cheese guy to see what he's excited about, arugula is good too.
