I know exactly what you were replying to.
I'm saying your idea is not one that I think to be good. But, I disagree with opinions I see all the time without feeling the need to point out why. My sarcasm, and my bothering to reply, come from the same place.
Setting aside the conversation on what the US should or shouldn't do, your comment directly implied that the Hatian people, and their peers, which we'll give the charitable interpretation of neighoring island countries, to be less civilized, less complex, and not as industry heavy as Japan/Europe post-ww2. I don't find that to be the language or implication of an opinion that is on good footing to say the least. Also, that you viewed those to be reasons that would make the task of intervention difficult.
I'm in agreement with you about one thing, doing a good job of stabilizing the hatian future is riddled with difficulty and challenges. Where we differ, is that the idea that the US (and other western governments) aren't already highly involved/responsible for the current situation. The question is not "Should the US get involved now with how much violence there is etc". The question is actually "Should the US continue to shirk its responsibilities to the hatian people for their hand in the hatian government that has all but collapsed?"
We aren't jumping in or staying out, we're either staying silent or a stepping up.
...The US had a moment of glory when it won WW2 and then rebuilt both Japan and Europe into world class economic powers. Of course, those were highly civilized, sophisticated, and industrialized states and so America's job was easier. Places like Afghanistan, Haiti, and most of Africa...not so much.
Sooo much ewww.
How in the world, I wonder, did a beautiful island become suddenly swarmed and populated with an essentially non-homogeneous group of people from across the ocean? Surely their "uncivilized and unsophisticated" nature wouldn't have allowed them to cross such a vast expanse. Such a mystery!
Any Western government would be crazy to set foot in countries like that. Maybe send some humanitarian aid, but otherwise stay the fuck out. Let their cultural peers help them out.
You're right, it's best that outisders remain totally uninvolved and let nature take its course amoungst this anthropologically typical country and neighbors.... Well, I guess yeah, we can pitch in some goodfeels and be a tiny lifeline for a limited to few, after all, we gotta sleep at night.
Some, not all, and not every piece of the battery either. Lots of plastics go into the production of batteries, and almost none is recycled despite batteries not having the general worries associated with recycled plastics.
Probably not without using that information to attain additional details. Things like address, family member's names, job, can all be obtained without leaving their computer for almost no cost (or free, but with less accurate results sometimes).
After that, what they could do is really up to how much effort they put in, contrasted with how much effort you put in to preventing. A swat team could show up at your door with little effort on their part. Or if they wanted to go through the effort of social engineering/dumpster diving/remote hacking their way into enough info to steal your identity.
2FA with strong passwords at a bare minimum. And not "strong" according to the website's account creation page, actually strong (which is itself a moving target to define, and is always in debate).
Any loved ones who may have potential access to sensitive information should also be prepared similarly to avoid some of the more catch-all scams such as phishing.
Then there's the whole not recycling old Ecar components, especially batteries, problem. Transportation going electric will only be environmentally sound if the related recycling industries are brought to a profitable scale...
This is a fucking fantastic read. I've been saying this to anyone who'll listen lately. When this dust settles we're still going to have to live with these people.
I'm assuming you've already taken all the legal steps available in your area.
MOVE!
They're alive, so you have support, you have a roof, use the time now to find places that can help you. Make calls, write emails.
Social nets, the few that exist, are still running their programs with the bootstrap mentality. But social programs can and will help you. There are 100% free often national services that have people who's job it is to find programs, file applications, get you to appointments etc.
Same! And honestly, its looking like I should really put in some time to figure out what would need to happen for me to do so in a hurry. This country is...
Well, people need to vote. We should have a go fund me specifically for people who would to vote if not for their job/childcare etc. I know most people aren't awful, but they don't get out and vote and so I'm forced to worry about having to leave in a hurry.
I totally agree. I personally just try to be a part of influencing the.... culture? Of religion from a less antagonistic or opposing position. History has proven, piss off a country and religion may be used to retaliate, piss off a religion and countries will retaliate. Understanding people for what we all are in essence is something that has worked in my life on the micro scale, and despite having little to show for my efforts so far, I think its more than nothing...
Agreed. I'm a Socialist Bi/Pan Transwoman and a "Christian" for lack of less tinged and equivalently brief word.
I choose to look at these types of things as opportunities to praise good opinions.
Whenever the collapse happens, assuming there are still people around, we'll still have to live with people after the fact. Accepting the inevitability of "religious thoughts" and helping to mold and shape those ideas is better than failing to remove them entirely.
Also, its a healthier mindset in general, for me at least.
If the university president sucked your dick for breakfast every morning it wouldn't matter. Way to pick up on the least emphasized and important point to fuel your gate boner.
