Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 11/04/2025You can embrace some weeds by incorporating them into your landscape design. Reducing that struggle and allowing for more biodiversity. 110
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Life on Earth would end. Weeds like most lifeforms are just trying to find a place to live and raise their kids. And have had to repopulate as a species after meteors, ice ages, floods, droughts, attacks by other lifeforms, etc. 100
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 10/04/2025The panic sellers had sold everything, so the bargain hunters push the prices up until they find a new seller to buy from. The volatility will continue as people try to guess what government policy will be tomorrow. 000
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 10/04/2025The tractors replaced the farm labourers, so they moved to the factories. Then the robots replaced the machinists, so they moved to the offices. Now generative AI is replacing the administrators, so they are moving to... 000
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 10/04/2025He is just shutting down borders and disrupting supply chains like what governments did during covid. But without the helicopter money to compensate the middle and working class. 010

Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 08/04/2025It's only back to where it was a year ago. Could go a lot lower, if countries can't sell goods to USA, they won't have dollars to buy USA shares and bonds. 010
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 05/04/2025And the tariff revenue will be given to the billionaires as tax cuts and subsidies, rather than topping up social security. 000

Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 04/04/2025In North Korea, the government knows the propaganda is false. In the USA the president thinks Fox News is telling him the truth. 000
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Since the journalist outed himself and they deny doing anything wrong, there could still be random people in other group chats. 000
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 25/03/2025A 'mind virus' is an apt phrase. An idea that infects a brain and hijacks normal function to just replicate and spread that idea to infect others. However, the idea that is spreading like that at the moment seems to be anti woke. 010
Reposted by MarcuusStrong Towns @strongtowns.org · 24/03/2025Strong Towns advocates for cities to be financially resilient: maintain essential services, adapt to economic shifts, and avoid long-term financial crises. And yet, the tools we use to understand local budgets often fail to answer the deeper question: Can we sustain what we’ve built? 1234
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Kids learn language by mimicking, so a lot of slang is generations old. Often picked up as infants while their parents watch and listen to media from their youth. 000

Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 23/03/2025A firm that never backs down will just take your money and make frivolous claims that you will lose. Not all wrongdoing is unlawful, as the law is defined by politicians when they enact laws and appoint judges. 000

Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Fairy tales reflected the brutality of life during the era they were written. Rather than the utopian fantasy of modern adaptations. 110
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 15/03/2025People are born monsters and learn to be part of humanity. Respecting rights of others creates a win win community that can grow, whereas the monsters just take from each other and stagnate. 020
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 08/03/2025Happiness comes when you are focused on one thing so much it distracts you from the struggles of life. 010
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Its terrible if you go the China route of cameras everywhere. But a few portable cameras to encourage a behavior change works in other countries. And reduces the discrimation that you get from police officers choosing which drivers to ticket. 100
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 01/03/2025It would be a good revenue source for cities if they put cameras at pedestrian crossings and issued fines to those drivers who don't stop. 140

Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Killing pathogens would be a minor thing evolution could adapt to. Pressure would also impact insect flight, thus pollination; weather patterns; osmosis at the celular level; etc. 020
Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 27/02/2025They don't own an exclusive property right like private land. But the granting of usage right over public land to a sub group of the public is giving that group an implied ownership of a property right.

Marcuus @fintanz.bsky.social · 25/02/2025It is taking the use of the spaces from them without their consent, so akin to stealing and a valid argument. But it is a role of government to manage the conflicting uses and users of public land. 310
