Some people think the language was confusing

Prop 6 Eliminates Constitutional Provision Allowing Involuntary Servitude for Incarcerated Persons. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.

They made a ton of promises those last couple weeks in 2020 to flip Georgia and kept none of them

In 6 years my partner and I have paid more in rent for our 1 bedroom (below market rate, bare minimum maintenance) apt than the landlord paid for the entire 16 unit building in 1997.

Zillow estimates about $100 a month in property taxes for the building

The old Chiquita one with a gun on it is more honest

I tweaked it—was probably a product of translation. Thanks for flagging!

Relevant context: There are theories that these bodies were the result of infanticide/sacrifice. These findings suggest otherwise.

They’re having military practice nearby me today and my partner and I were just talking about how we both flinch when we hear military planes (small and fast) fly overhead even though neither of us has lived in a war zone.

Why are people downvoting this?

Indeed, that’s why I said it would probably cause another global financial crisis. I don’t think their governments would collapse just because the US’s did though. Brettin Woods would be dead and would need to be replaced, plus a lot of IMF loans would need to be reformulated

Personally I don’t think a successful coup or similar in the US would destroy other major powers, though it would certainly cause another global financial crisis.

Yes in global collapse it would be useless—more useless than coins or paper which you can melt and burn. I imagine a political collapse limited to the US where I am to be a bit slower to where phone, internet, electricity, water etc. wouldn’t go off immediately, but even if they did I hope I could make it to the border of canada or mexico who will likely have internet. From there I’d be a refugee, but potentially one with a bit of bartering power.

Of course I’m not off the grid? Weird question. I do know how to wire a car battery though

When things are unstable you diversify. Most currency is pegged to the US dollar’s value and, as we’ve seen with recent US recessions, its value impacts the value of state currencies worldwide.

single governments collapse all the time, and even ones that don’t occasionally invalidate their currency for other reasons. My particular government does not seem the most stable right now.

:( :(

I definitely like having some money that doesn’t rely on the stability of the government

I really hope some rich people lose a ton of money when the hype settles

There are definitely areas that aren’t fit for habitation though. If you hear “climate haven” and your takeaway is that we don’t need to do anything aside from moving people out of the way, this article is speaking to you. If you read it as “we need to move people out of swamps and fire zones” you’re good, we need to do that. For example most of South Florida was never fit for permanent structures.

This might not immediately feel anarchism related, but I have an ongoing suspicion that the structure of liberal democracies outsources the innate sense of responsibility each person feels towards the world around them to a set of mechanical procedures (the state) and roles (politicians) that are not responsibility bearing. This is of concern, I believe, because interpersonal responsibility is an important mechanism for social cohesion and organization.

I think insurance companies pulling out of certain areas will amount to the same thing unless they are forced by regulators to provide coverage. If regulators do force that it will be a bandaid—states need to be starting relocation funds for climate impact
