The problem is that to plan for large scale disasters require large scale coordination across multiple counties/towns but Texas has a culture that doesn’t like giving any single organization the jurisdiction and power to make those plans. Local governments are hamstrung by over zealous libertarians and state government has the power hungry predators who find innovative new ways to be corrupt.

Texas will always be a victim because the people think it’s the way things should be.

Fake Doritos? Like tortilla chips?

When the private water needs help, tell it to ask its investors. Or have it become public. Private utilities don’t work.

Thank goodness she was found. It sounded like another German lost in a desert that would become a tragic tale. This really is the best possible outcome.

The bangs on 8 are the mood. “Why am I here? I contribute nothing.”

These are the ideal country for the rich who want to make government backed, guaranteed investments into the business of the country. Everyone else is suffering so the rich can stay rich. Everyone works hard because they have to, not because they want to, and it’s because of the rich.

Convergent business organization makes a lot of people mad. But some things just don’t scale or grow with the business. And one thing business leaders will never do is make less money so that’s why they will always look for ways to grow.

Not fair. A robot can watch videos and perform surgery but when I do it I’m called a “monster” and “quack”.

But seriously, this robot surgeon still needs a surgeon to chaperone so what’s being gained or saved? It’s just surgery with extra steps. This has the same execution as RoboTaxis (which also have a human onboard for emergencies) and those things are rightly being called a nightmare. What separates this from that?

So tired of having to elect either business leaders or lawyers. Fuck, I wish we still had generals to elect. There is no one who gets into office from blue collar or education backgrounds.
