Are you under the impression that parks and rivers don't exist in cities?
They say neither Pennsylvania nor the nation can afford to lose small towns and the institutions that power them.
Lol, why?
Not only are they a touchstone of American life,
Very often a hard and poverty stricken life.
but they are also key to driving certain sectors of the economy, like agriculture.
What's stopping farms from being built next to suburbs or even within cities with the tech we have now.
These boomers are why over romanticizing how "good" small town life was. What they're really sad about is disproportionate political power our anti democratic electoral college gave them and the unchecked tin pot dictatorships they often held over small towns. Being able to get away with literal murder sometimes because they personally knew the cops and judges.
They couldn't care less about the poor quality of life that most citizens of these small towns had. If they did they would have made the necessary investments to attract people (like a handful of small towns have).
And yet real estate prices remain at all time highs. Boomers asked for this.
Except they don't say different things happened.
The fact that there's so many different versions of the Bible is one.
We actually need Mom and Pop landlords abolished. They own 80% of rentals.
A few? How about just 1.
Women inflict violence by proxy. So she just threatens to get one of her male acquaintances to harm you. This is also why women on male violence appears so much lower then male on woman violence. That and the fact that society is very incredulous and dismissive of male victims of female violence.
Don't they know if he gives them a handout it will create a dependency /s.
Couldn't this be done with an FPGA?
Go fash, no cash.
Fukkkin saved.
All part of the plan.
Uh oh, better start buttering up all the nurses and grocery store employees as "hero's" again since this country has done everything possible to screw them in them last 4 years since COVID ended.
I always thought the surveillance state was stupid even for the powerful. The problem is exactly what happened. They surveil their own security forces out of necessity. But if that info leaks it makes those proxies 1000% more vulnerable than the public they're subjugating since way more people have a grudge against police and military personnel than some dweeb that watches Rick and Morty.
You can also set it to wipe if you don't enter a PIN after a set amount of time.
They wouldn't know it was you.
How would they know
This is Graphene OS had a distress code you can enter that will wipe the phone.
I think a big stumbling block is authentication. I think Web 3 could really revive indie forums if the was integrated properly.
It was give people a single sign on for thousands of forums.

Airbnb's success story stands out in stark contrast to the struggles of other startups. Unlike Zillow's disastrous attempt at house-flipping, Airbnb has flourished for over a decade. Their revenue skyrocketed, tripling from $3.3 billion to nearly $10 billion. Even more impressive, they flipped profi...
