Nothing like having phone home beacon in your imported tech.

Written in sharpie width of course.

How did you get out of high school without knowing the difference between a hypothesis and a claim?

No Nobel Peace Prize for you, but you are eligible for a FIFO Faux Peace Prize. And it is trending, even two-bit dictators have one.

Whoever's idea it was to take the bars off capital "I" should be flogged. They are not serifs, they are bars, like a double-ended T. Floggem! Dig them back up and flog their bones if we have to. They generated centuries of confusion.

point well taken

Pun?

And they keep demanding better working conditions. And yeah we can use the police to beat the hell out of them when they do but then every now and then somebody films the police when they do.

So the real problem with Farm labor is going to be that nobody is going to want to pay people enough to have people who want to live on a farm if you're not picking up refugees from war-torn countries. And a lot of people don't want those refugees anymore for a variety of reasons.

Otherwise you've got to pay people a premium because they are living out in the middle of nowhere and it's backbreaking work.

And then there's all those little social issues nobody wants to deal with like I mentioned above with the unionization and needing to treat people decently.

Now given that a modern civilization needs about 2% of its workforce farming there's no particular reason we couldn't do all that but if you're a billionaire you just don't want to. Frankly at this point the billionaires have had enough of employees and consumers and capitalism in general. They have never been big fans of capitalism preferring monopolies and oligarchy to competition and free markets.

So it's no surprise that there's a automation push here too.

They did - although I have seen some Neo-Nasty stuff that used Fraktur. People make the association of that font with the Nasties.

I used to get their UN "reports" and other propaganda. I got tired of their "Eat bugs for protein" lectures.

Always the same thing.Some version of Stop eating meat, go vegan. Save the world.

The problem isn't that eating meat is killing the planet. Humans just do what humans do, just like tigers and lions do what they do, and cows gonna cow.

The problem is too damn many people trying to have a first world lifestyle while reproducing at a third world rate. And the present path doesn't elevate the third world, but turns the first world into third world.

I believe that humanity should strive to have a first world lifestyle for everyone. Not possible at present population levels. These things usually devolve into people claiming that Malthus was wrong, and will always for wrong. It is only possible for Malthus to always be wrong is the earth has infinite carrying capacity, and infinite resources.

Nature will likely take care of the population/resources issue if humanity does not.

...the Trump Font. All bold, bigly vertical, with sharp edges.

The readability thing. I've used Helvetica just about forever, and find it much more readable than TNR. Different people, different eyes, I suppose.

As I said in another post, have they not considered Fraktur? Seems their style.

And how - I guess the only upside is this administration hasn't moved to Fraktur font.

Fonts for ease of reading are woke now. What a fucking asshole.

We may do better in 2026, there's fair chance of an el Nino forming and those usually bring on higher temperatures. The fact that this is a la Nina years and we're still up there is not good.
