This is an apology, I hope whatever healthy thing you do brings you some joy in these dark times.

  • *who need CPR

    Lot of people get CPR when in reality they're dehydrated, ODing, or something similar

  • If you're American, the problem here actually isn't the number of residences, there are plenty of those. The problem is that developers only want to invest in single family units or high value apartments. We need policy makers who will actually tax absentee landlords and developers of high value properties to the point that local developers begin seeing more profit in creating affordable housing. In fact, affordable housing can be some of the most profitable even without increased tax burden but try convincing a group of investors that.

  • A lot of signs point to it already beginning.

    This is a quick reminder that (looking at you fellow Americans) authoritarian governments are incredibly inefficient economically at best, are always ran by idiots, and are completely detrimental to everything at worst.

  • I think it probably comes down to how you're raised. Conservatives will tell their kids black and white things. Something is either good or bad whereas liberals will try to insert the very real nuance into things.

    Kids need things to be black and white when they're very young because they don't have the mental capacity to handle a lot of nuance, so trying to teach it early will give them a negative outlook on the world even if it's a realistic idea about things. Where conservative parents faulter is they never teach the nuance, so their kids spend a good chunk of their adult years thinking black and white which is obviously wrong even if they're happier.

    A good tactic is give a positive, black and white outlook on the world when kids are young and add complexity as they go.

    Ex: tell a young kid that cops are good people to call when there's an emergency. As they get older, and the very real atrocious things they do appear on the news, you keep adding to the truth, so when they're grown, and if they're a POC like my son, they learn to be wary of cops, but still can 911 in an emergency. That you don't automatically assume ACAB, but you don't have to trust them, know your rights, etc

    I hope all that makes sense
