A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad. Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?

Why do Americans hate each other while Canadians love each other?

Could it have something to do with our politics? With the sociopath in the Oval?

The demographic reality is unrelenting. What happens when you have 70 million baby boomers pushing 80 and still driving big SUVs on North American roads? A whole lot of accidents waiting to happen. lloydalter.substack.com/p/we-may-soo...

We may soon have 70 million boomers too old to drive, too car-dependent to stop.

As the baby boomer bubble pushes into its eighties, we are driving into a demographic wall.

“I just saw a post arguing how traditional hunting practices aren’t traditional because they were fishing from a motorboat... white ppl imagine our cultures as frozen in time and our identities, and our ‘authenticity’, as being tied to that period.”

“White people don’t view themselves that way though. White people didn’t see themselves as being any less white when they started using cars and abondoned the horse and buggy. White people get to live in the present while for us, existing in real time is a betrayal of our culture.”

“This is how we teach white kids about Aboriginal culture too... we compare Aboriginal ppl pre-1788 with white ppl 2023.

‘They didn’t have cars like we do’
You didn’t have cars in the 1700s either!”

“The worst thing we do tho is we teach them about us by what we didn’t do more than what we did - we didn’t invent the wheel, we didn’t farm, we didn’t have a written language, we didn’t build permanent houses etc.”

“The implication being we weren’t capable. We wanted to, but we couldn’t. We weren’t just ‘primitive’ we were failures. They can’t imagine we had other priorities, other aspirations, other definitions of success... other cultures are not failed attempts at being you.

White supremely is one hell of a drug.”

“Looking at dollars and cents, highways are a poor economic investment. They occupy nearly 25% of U.S. urban land — an area equivalent to West Virginia and valued at $4.1 trillion — yet their supposed benefits don’t justify these enormous costs.” Via @fastcompany.com The real cost is a LOT higher.

It's time to start removing highways. For real this time

Removing highways can breath new life into cities—so why are cities so slow to actually do it?

According to their statement, the Indonesian Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital and Kamal Adwan Hospital are totally besieged. Five Civil Defense members were arrested by the Israeli military and taken to an undisclosed location. Israeli tanks shelled the only fire truck in the north, setting it ablaze. Three Civil Defense Members in Beit Lahia were targeted by an Israeli drone and contact was lost with them.
