I guess Huntsville is a bit off the path, but there’s a fuckoff big Confederate flag on the I-65 between Birmingham and Montgomery. Friendly is a matter of proximity and perception: you were either not close enough or too respectable to meet the sort that give Alabama its reputation.
Is this a major consequence of 1994’s NAFTA and the relative ease of moving manufacturing jobs to Mexico, vice the service/healthcare jobs being tied to populations themselves?
Presumably a corpse.
Which two fish do Nevadanites get?
Is the reason for the East/West coast disparity the tectonic plates? I imagine (at least along the Juan de Fuca subduction zone) that the interaction makes the terrain more rugged compared to the geologically more stable Atlantic coast.
What a bargain!
Who is that in Tennessee, and why isn’t it Dolly Parton?
Do we have any fun infographics to help educate those that aren’t autodidacts?
Fair 'nuff. I hadn’t really considered an alt account.
It isn’t really that odd, considering you’ve only been here a couple of weeks. Mutual Aid is a foundational idea in most if not all anarchist projects and theory.
There may be many scammers, yes, but the goal remains the same - get help to those who need it from those in a position to give it.
As for being part of the problem, I must disagree. Scammers aren’t leeching just this, they’d be present in any system purporting to help others (in gov’t systems this is called fraud), the goal of these grassroots aid projects is to help those who fall through the cracks of more formalized systems and decentralize some aid in case the church/NGO/gov’t can’t or won’t help (see the Hurricane Helene/Katrina responses when FEMA is overwhelmed).
Means-testing recipients is kinda a dick move anyway: those who have demonstrable need will have a harder time getting aid and time/money that should be spent helping are now spent with verification.
What would prevent the same happening in the next wave of rats jumping ship? They don’t know anything about the servers or their niches, so they pick whatever. Listing all the servers and their missions is a good start for those motivated to join, but for those more on the fence, how do we ease the transition?
Selling Florida does track with our used-car salesman ass President.
Shame Lemon Laws don’t apply internationally - caveat emptor, Denmark.
Cede the entire area to a new “national park” a park the size of the Old United States.
Else, combine Baja and California to California Grande.
I’m not sure Cuba would return to Spain without a hell of a fight, but I’m also not sure why Spain left the EU.
I see we’ve forgotten our non-contiguous siblings.
But more to the point, why not just arrange them alphabetically while we’re here?
Welcome hearty “welcome back” to dogfighting tactics!
I’m kind amazed that Maine got 7. Good on them.
You can start by changing that demonym to “Missourable”. A group of them would be Les Missourables.
No data. As ever.
They know more about the exact velocity and position of electrons than they know about Greenland.
Yeah, but this map shows military procurement - the northeast was vastly more industrialized at that point.
I assume they have another map for warm body procurement.
