more support for my theory that basically everything in American life, besides a handful of luxury goods and conveniences subsidized by exploited gig labor, has been getting shittier for years but no one will admit it

This drives me extremely nuts because there's a very real and deep opposition to the idea of "free college" among a cohort for whom state college was effectively free if you wanted to go.
college *was* free and the powers that be decided to make it a leveraged debt thing instead.
(it's also just like healthcare in that the discussions of the "cost" of subsidizing it assume all the graft and gouging and rent-seeking is like an essential thing that a public version will also need to pay for, instead of the stuff that a public version would kill)

A seemingly obvious thing in US foreign policy that I think a lot of people (mostly in punditry but also many actually in government) don't really understand is that other countries don't trust our intentions or believe we're operating in good faith *with good reason*
And weirdly all the debates about US "credibility" are about how willing we are to use force and not how our actions match our rhetoric
It's actually remarkable how many national fuckups can be attributed to becoming a country whose elite believes its own bullshit

For our health and happiness we should be radically pedestrianizing the entire country. Instead we'll make it illegal to walk along busy roads because billionaires don't want to share space with other humans on the way to the airport.
I don't strictly mean "closing areas off to cars," I mean places everywhere where people live and work and shop should be designed so it's pleasant and safe to walk around. This doesn't require density. It can be done without demanding the exurbs become Brooklyn.
Instead we'll make a choice to design places to accommodate driverless cars that only work correctly if they never encounter children crossing a street

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

#life THREAD. On Subtraction.

1/ It’s simple to note: One has to subtract before adding. Give up what’s bad, before thinking about adding what’s good. True for habits, food, news and everything else.
#life 2/ We live in a world with many apparent "signals”.

We’re consuming:
- More info/news/entertainment
- More food
- More social networking
- More things to-do/work...

…than prior generations. It’s making us lazy and critically, disengaged.
#life 3/ It’s unclear what the signal to noise ratio is - it’s a function of one’s own consumption habits.

And separately, we’re prone to setting additional goals too:
- Read good books
- Eat a healthy diet
- Have fewer but better friends
- Work smart

etc.

(Very) Long Thread incoming:

Let’s analyze some #QAnon crumbs, something this account has never done nor plans on making a habit of doing regularly.
This thread will raise possibilities rather than giving definitive conclusions. The aim is to provide you with enough resources and starting points to dig deeper into the areas which interest you most.

I’ve tried my best to keep it clear and entertaining despite its length.
I’ve gotten a few requests for my take on SecureDrop and @Snowden in relation to Q and the ongoing IC war (CIA v DIA), so I figured I’d share my analysis…
