I sold my treasury bonds two weeks ago. I have a serious lack of trust

Unfortunately, I think the parent commenter meant protection from something closer to losing your job for saying racist bullshit to your coworkers

You can watch "Jeen-yuhs" and see for yourself. Kanye became a different person at a clear point during that documentary. The person saying these things today is not the same person who said "George Bush hates black people." Kanye's never had a very good filter, and there's no way back in the day he was some "secret Nazi" lmao

If you're bipolar II, then you've never had a manic episode. People in a severe manic episode (bipolar I) very commonly experience psychosis and go down conspiratorial rabbit holes around politics, race, religion, etc. that they 100% would not have otherwise gone down

Kanye has legit bipolar I or schizoaffective disorder. There was a moment after his mother passed where the guy's entire personality changed and his thoughts became really disorganized, which was likely the first episode of whatever he's still dealing with. My point is you're correct, Kanye's not approaching this as a coherent ideology

Protection from what?

Your entire house is made out of limestone? Or you have limestone veneer

We should go back to building things with rocks

There's something about Windows 3.1 I yearn for, I gotta say

California has a number of operational desalination plants and several significant projects currently in development. Desalination isn't just some cure-all, it's very expensive and comes with an environmental toll

I haven't read the article because it's paywalled, but there are a variety of types of aquifers that refill at very different rates, and I'm assuming California has a type that fills very slowly. Here in Central Texas the Edwards Aquifer recharges like a lake and can refill very quickly, while in West Texas north to Nebraska the Ogallala Aquifer takes thousands of years to recharge and is basically a finite water source
