Good thing you aren’t making policy.

If your policy change is going to harm the less fortunate then you should re-evaluate the policy.

A land value tax just shifts those who can’t afford it out of their homes and hands more land over to the wealthy.

Land isn’t the problem with housing. The problem is that developers have figured out it’s more profitable to build fewer expensive properties than a large number of affordable ones. Not only do they have to do less work, but it keeps the market artificially low and so lets them charge more for what inventory they do have.

So they do just that.

And the residential development market has such a huge investment level to enter you won’t see many willing to roll the dice on mass producing affordable housing.

Show me a home builder who has plans which are less than 3k sqft these days. You won’t find one.

No way. That would fuck over way too many people who are just trying to live out their lives in the home they’ve built/purchased/inherited.

The shame is that the ending of Season 4 might be one of the most ’ Star Trek’ moments in the franchise. But the lead up to was so generic that many didn’t make it that far.

I think it’s that we miss those three camera stage plays.

Atleast I do.

Those long seasons let us have silly, off the wall and yes, sometimes plain bad episodes.

But I’ll take them for the extra world building, character development and slower pacing that we get in return.

I don’t want or need television to be movie quality. I’m fine taking a hit in production quality if it gets us back some of those lost elements.

Part of me does want this.

But I also know how much actors have gone on record saying how much the working conditions absolutely suck in order to have that level of output.

So while I’d love it I don’t want it if it can’t be done with decent working conditions.

My Plex is ready.

Equipment and training for servicing as well.

S2 was ordered before all of S1 even aired.

I’m not giving up mobile deposit.

Leave my house? Duck that.

My trick is melatonin and PBS YouTube videos, audio only. Ones I’ve seen before.

The audio is enough to keep my mind from running on it’s own and eventually the melatonin kicks in to take it down while it’s distracted by dinosaurs or whatever.

Melatonin on it’s own will just make me suffer being tired but not able to rest my mind enough to fall asleep.

Listening to something interesting like an audiobook will do the same.

It needs to be something that will catch my attention but also not be something I really want to hear more of.

Music doesn’t keep my mind from wandering like speech does.

This comment is the equivalent of some guy telling you that you’ll be paid in exposure and that the exposure is going to be worth way more than money in the long run, just trust me bro.

Thanks, I deleted my comment

Headline is still accurate.

Target practice a battle does not make.

Y’all joke, but we pretty much had this with the La Sirena in Picard.

Alright. This isn’t an attack, honestly.

You obviously have some sort of chip on your shoulders and an anger management problem.

You are going to continue to run into this problem in any community you interact with until you address it.

I really, really recommend you look into anger management counseling.

Again, I’m not saying this for me. I’m saying it for you.

Anytime you are doing any kind of military or police action within a civilian area there is always the risk of unintended civilian harm.

If police and military forces took this doctorine that any amount of risk is too much then they simply would be unable to operate.

There has to be a certain amount of acceptable civilian risk and that should be proportional to the threat you are attempting to stop.

Just to clarify, I’m not advocating that Israel is taking acceptable risks. But I am advocating that those risks will always exist with ANY police or military action and the primary debate is over where the red line of acceptable/unacceptable is.

All nations are built and maintained by violence, either directly or by threat of it.

It’s a core component of sovereignty. To be able to call your government sovereign you must have the capacity to resist both external and internal actors from being able to overthrow you.

You must also be willing and able to use violence against those under your rule who disobey your laws (i.e, arresting a murderer).

God damned degenerates!
