If you hear this and think "wow that seems bad" well that's because it is. The Trump administration had destroyed everything we've spent decades building. And our (former) friends know it. This is beyond bad.

This is Pamela Griffin. Back then, Black people weren't allowed to buy city land so her family settled outside, next to the farmer. Seeing them play baseball, the farmer told them he'd donate his land for a park—and put it in a deed. The city still sold it. www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

Most of American metro cities could quickly adapt to such methods. Also consider out military bases. In 2008 as a BN CDR, I suggested bike lanes at very flat FT Stuart, GA. Traffic congestion was unbearable. Not enough parking. Gas nearly 5$ a gallon. I was laughed out of the room by DIV CoS.
