Every part, 100% true.

People rarely get second opinions on their teeth. In Canada most dentist will recommend fillings for cavities that do not exist, then charge it to OHIP.

Most of my teeth have shallow fillings as a result because my parents believed what the dentist said. Never ate candy, drank soda or pop when I was a kid.

The AI is pretty bang on, it knows exactly what I was doodling.

I was just wondering about this topic this morning.

My thought was peoples happiness seemed to have been higher during the lock downs as driving habits changed drastically, such as a great number of individuals not needing to commut to/from work. This decrease traffic and commute times for essential workers, and increased satisfaction of both commuters and now non-commuters.

“Extreme car dependence is affecting Americans’ quality of life, with a new study finding there is a tipping point at which more driving leads to deeper unhappiness. It found that while having a car is better than not for overall life satisfaction, having to drive for more than 50% of the time for out-of-home activities is linked to a decrease in life satisfaction.”

The car has artificially increased distances people need to travel, and has also had a impact on inducing urban sprawl. Cars require space to drive and at the same time require large parking spaces at destinations points. If all this infrastructure was instead used for trains, trams, and buses, things would be closer and cities would be denser.

It would also be interesting to know how increased commute times on all forms of transportation affect peoples happiness and satisfaction. For example increased crowding and increased commute times on public transportation such as trains and subways could also be draining and frustrating when performed on a daily basis.

This reminds me of Minority Report. Arrested by the pre-crime unit.

Guilty without the crime actually being committed.

This is by design, a dumber population is easier to control by the few.

A educated population is beneficial to society as a whole.

Vaping is almost as cool as coal rolling.

How else are we going to increase shareholder value

Older generation “nobody wants to fight anymore”.

Seems to align with keeping the general public as uneducated as possible.

The more uneducated a population as a whole the easier for a government to control.

This just in, people with money have more to spend.

But, but I though undocumented immigrants were lazy?! How can they both be lazy and take all the jobs?!

You seem to be thinking small scale, the concept is decentralised electrical generation nation wide.

Not centralised energy generation such as a single solar plant, a single wind turbine field, a single coal plant, a single nuclear plant.

To cluster bomb a single PV plant (in one attack) would be “easy”, just as easy as a single coal plant.

To carpet bomb a whole nation (in one attack) with PV panels on every home, building, school, sports centre, field, farm would be logistically challenging.

In agree there are always those few in a community that feel the need to fight everything, even it may be in their best interest and the best interest of the community as a whole.

Anecdotally, I used to live in a rural suburban neighbourhood, the type where homes have large yards between them. There was a proposal to finally put in sidewalks along the residential streets in front of the homes, by narrowing the street a little. This would allows children to walk safely to the new school built, and allow people in the neighbourhood to go on walks, or walk their dogs safely.

Anyways, the amount of push back from some residents saying it will ruin the character of the neighbourhood, or that it would remove vital street parking, or shrink their driveways.

The neighbourhood street was about 4.5 cars wide.

In the end the sidewalks got put in after someone (that did not live in the area), ran over a residents dog along the street.

Become an American patriot, secure our borders with decentralised power generation, on your roof, on your own terms!

Exactly!! Though I don’t understand why so many country’s and civilians are opposed to clean decentralised power generation such as solar, wind, thermal.

The fact that you get to generate your own “free” power, and its less likely to fail in times of natural disaster.

Its essentially “freedom” & “sticking it to the man” in one clean package. Its not what the media or propaganda calls “the green agenda”.

The fact that it also has applications in better national security is a win win.

Decentralised power generation makes you a american patriot! No a green hippy.

Its like the a majority (or at least the ones in power) are turning into Nazis.

Guess that’s why the camps are being built to help people in the population to concentrate, in Texas as a example.

I can’t imagin a neighbouring country accepting a large influx of people quickly or willingly. So Texas may find themselves “looking after” the people they send here for a long time.

I may be wrong on the process, but in Germany i believe it started with a community or neighbourhood being walled off. Think of a suburb or maybe a few large city blocks. People had to come and go through checkpoints and some were not allowed to leave.

After which these walled communities became slums or ghettos. Then the Nazis began to ship peoples from these walled communities out to Poland and neighbouring countries (that they invaded) into concentration camps.

History always repeats itself unfortunately.

I don’t think you could have said this any better. Thank you.

If you were to see a article that said Texas is offering land to build a affordable housing neighbourhood, people would probably loose their shit in the USA.

Trouble is the plan is to send full families to these camps. These individuals will be waiting here a long time without the agility to freely leave.

Unless they plan to split women, men, and children apart. That means these camps will need to be built like walled neighbourhoods with schools for the kids while they wait. Housing with AC and heating, electricity, plumbing, fire protection. Streets to get around inside the complex, stores or shops.
