even in California (not coastal) you have deep racism too. Mountains here are as redneck as the deep south is. Sierras has this. but you now have a bunch of liberals from San Francisco who moved up there so Red counties turning Blue.
Originally posted by Fox That’s the other thing, I live in the Deep South now and it’s actually less racist than places like NYC or SF. Like people make comments about other races and indulge in stereotyping and shit, but they tend to treat everyone the same despite their differences. But up north where everyone is stacked on top of each other in every major city, lot of people are just openly racist as hell
He has no real world experience outside of his small west coast bubble. The only things he knows about other areas of his own nation is that which the talking heads in the magic box have told him over the years.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2023-09-23 at 10:38 AM UTC in THE FUCK IZ GOING ON ILLINOIS? NO BOND?I'm all for OR or a signature bond for dumb shit but for a burglary that's kinda fucked up. I know Kentucky would definitely need some money or some property on something like that but that's a whole different beast. Getting locked up in a commonwealth is a motherfucker.

2023-09-23 at 2:16 AM UTC in Why do Racist go from attacking one race to Another. India's turnYeah people who think america is racist have never traveled. Pretty much every other country I’ve been to is way more racist, they just don’t have a lot of foreigners to be racist against so it’s not “news”. But I’ve seen signs up saying no foreigners allowed, no blacks, etc. imagine if Starbucks put that sign up we’d burn Seattle to cinders

Originally posted by jerryb So will Canada, good we'll let them feed all those poor Africans.
Maybe, but it could also be more complicated than that:
Will Canada benefit from climate change?Several global agricultural studies predict benefits from climate change for Canada—one model projects the productive value of Canadian prairie farmland could increase by 1 to 4 per cent or up to $4 billion annually. However, these studies are usually highly simplified and estimate farming benefits based only on projected temperature increases—a reductionist approach that assumes warming temperatures will extend the growing season for key crops and grow the land base available for farming. These studies fail to account for more specific effects of climate change and other factors crucial to the viability and success of agriculture: more frequent extreme weather events, the expansion of pests and diseases, water availability, and soil quality.

2023-09-22 at 9:17 PM UTC in Delicious povertydrink:American farms, which are highly corporate and industrial, because of all the subsidy making it very lucrative to invest in machinery, land, labor and drive down the cost even more with oversupply.
Because rural voters in the farm belt of USA have a lot of pull and get bigly tax breaks which is a good thing because you get cheap as fuck food but the downside is there's so much that a lot of it just gets processed into shit that makes Americans so fat and unhealthy like cheap as fuck cola corn syrup
Meanwhile in Canada we also have subsidy and attempt to engage in the same practices but our economy is so wrecked that we can't make anything close to that scale of production. Too many hands in everyones pocket, too many taxes and bad economy practices making it barely profitable for anyone
The only ones making money are the bread cartels and government. Farmers, workers and business owners are just making enough to get by

Originally posted by jerryb Talking to people my age and older we agree the climate in this area has changed since we where kids so I do believe in climate change. I also believe humans have an impact but to what degree I don't know. Even if humans had zero impact I'd be for doing all we can to have less impact on the world we live on because it still benefits us.
I’ve said it before that even I’m not entirely convinced that climate change is primarily driven by human action. We were already in a warming period before the industrial era, that much is obvious. And there are things we still don’t understand about the cycle of the sun and shit like that. I’m not claiming the science is settled and that I know all the answers.
But my whole thing is even if it was 0% due to human activity, there’s a couple things that are absolutely clear:
1. The earth IS warming rapidly.
2. Burning fossil fuels is an inefficient and messy way to produce energy and we’ve already invented better ways of doing it cheaper and more sustainably. We just don’t take action on it because of pushback from existing financial interests (mainly the fossil fuel lobby).
So whether humans are causing it or not, the sea levels will rise, crops will fail, and extreme weather patterns will become more common. And right now we are doing basically fuck-all to prepare for any of this. We’re not changing our building codes to withstand stronger hurricanes, hotter summers, and colder winters, we’re not hardening our infrastructure, we’re not preparing for periods of extended droughts and famines, we’re not building nuclear plants… and so on.
These are all things we should already be doing regardless of what’s causing climate change because they just make sense to do. But instead we’d rather all argue about whether it’s even real or not meanwhile just keep giving trillions of dollars to the fossil fuel industry and carry on business as usual.
We already subsidize the fossil fuel industry with our tax dollars, all I’m saying is we just slowly transition that money to building up alternatives over the next 20-30 years until eventually we don’t need fossil fuels anymore. And guess what, the fossil fuel lobby knows they can’t keep the money train rolling forever, that’s why they’re already taking steps to become major players in the coming alternative energy market. They’re already investing billions. They just want to milk every last cent they can out of oil and coal before they have to make the transition.
Anyway I think this is a pretty reasonable position that falls somewhere in the middle of all the hysterics that surround this issue, people like Spectral being on one extreme side, and Greta Thunberg on the other. But anyway.
