  • Tell that to the French. Americans think the French are just about surrender but they’ve raised cities because the government wanted to extend retirement age by two years. Most recently two teenagers were electrocuted trying to escape arrest and the citizens rioted. Spending cuts? Riot. Strict policing in low income housing districts? Get the fuck out. Let them eat cake? Topple the government and execute its leaders.

    It’s not my argument. Americans just hold signs and sing songs and still get their asses kicked by (checks notes) their own industrial military complex when the law should be protecting its citizens, not shooting priests and reporters in the face with less than lethal rounds.

    After 25 years in Afghanistan, the Afghan people protested with ammo and IED’s. Who’s in charge now? The Taliban… and you know what? Good for them. We never should have been there in the 70’s and most definitely not the 00’s



  • We have something similar in the southwest called Earth Ships. These homes are made of soil compacted used tires and a stone/mortar mix or sometimes aluminum cans and mortar. In the summer a large south facing angled window runs the length of the house doesn’t see the sun all summer and in the winter, the sun’s angle changes to allow all the light/heat in. We got way more than an 8° difference, 100% passive, at 130F° outside… and if you know anything about the Sonoran Desert, you know the nights can be deadly cold. You can actually go hyperthermic when the temps drop to 100F° immediately as the sun sets. Earth Ships stay stable all year long.
