“Once the easy-to-extract oil is consumed, then only costly-to-extract oil exists to be consumed, and sooner or later the cost becomes too-much to justify.”

“Once the easy-to-extract water is consumed, then only costly-to-extract water exists to be consumed, and sooner or later the cost becomes too-much to justify.”

It’s the same problem.

Oil isn’t self-renewing, water used to be, but with ClimatePunctuation, that’s changing.

Humankind may have to abandon the praries, later this century, exactly as most of California, most of Texas, most of the Middle East, & most of India are going to be unusable.

Too-many over-40C days per year & NO water for us, both prevent a region from being inhabitable.

The 600+ mass-shootings in the US in 2023 are nothing, compared with the rampaging pogromming that’s going to be going-on in the coming years, as The Great Filter continues unfolding…

There’s a law, possibly international/UN or something, against making laws that retroactively criminalize stuff, so you’re right, on that point.

Pretending that such things won’t ever become a crime, however, when the US is at the point of criminalizing

• miscarriage
• some brain-wirings/genders
• violating christofascist supremacism
• not being a Trump-cult member

as the next few years will demonstrate,

is naive/incompetent.

Yes, criminal-law is going to be used to enforce ideological-conforming, throughout much of the West, exactly as China, Israel, Russia, etc, now “use”/abuse law.

That tipping-point has already been crossed, on this world.

Limiting dementia’s harmful intentions is exhausting.

We NEED to get software, or robots, or something doing it for people.

If not, then we’re essentially sentencing a growing percentage of our population to being the full-time-keepers of brainrotted people, doubly damaging our country’s viability.

The mental-health costs put on the carers needs to be a concern.

Software+carer or robot+carer is less burden to the carer, you know?

Lighten the load.

ANY time you have the Authority & the Consequences/Responsibility divorced from each-other…

…you inevitably get greater dysfunction/corruption/wreckage.

Governments need to be orthogonal to each-other, departments of 'em, too.

Those roads are in Tarana, they need to be governed & managed within Tarana.

Modi/India is committed to blindfolded-and-earplugged “strategy”.

Russia is now financially-functioning ONLY because of its debt to China: China is using that to gain unofficial owning of Russia.

Russia is going to be China’s vassal-state, shortly, with its oligarchs/dictator ( if he survives ) doing only what China allows them to do.

India is betting the entire survival of India on Russia provisioning it with weapons in any war against China, which is inevitable…

India is going to be gutted in the inevitable war with China, and China is going to do to India what it did to Tibet, only worse.

Churchill: “Never argue with drunks or fanatics.”

Modi’s only-Yes-men government, including the pseudo-journalism he allows ( or considering the actual-journalism he doesn’t tolerate ), has strategic consequences, that are going to cost hundreds of millions of Indian lives, in the coming decade.

WHEN a junkie won’t “get off the tracks”, and you can feel the rumbling, through the rails, of the oncoming freight-train, accept that you cannot make them know other-than what they want to know … and get away from the impending violent-destruction, so only-the-deranged get obliterated.

I’m part east Indian, and seeing the home of the Dharmic religions about to be butchered isn’t good, but … karma is karma: you earn viability, or you don’t retain viability.

Krshna was right, in the Gita: uprightness is REQUIRED.

Politicians generally reject that, but ones who only allow yes-men inferiors & “journalism” … can take entire-countries, if not regions, down with their won’t-knowing devotion.

India is nearly finished as a real country.

I don’t expect it to be independent-of-china in 2033.

it shows one hell of alot more than just failure of police-services/enforcement:

it shows failure of parenting, of education, of community, of journalism, of acceptance-within-Canada, and much more…

How do you manufacture violent-crime in a community/city?

Increase the young-male unemployment, and the young males will assault whomever they can take it out on.

That automatic function has been known for decades, ttbomk.

What’s apparently happening is the same: males taking some internally-felt-harm & multiplying it, enforcing it onto others, who are unable to defend themselves.

I wish male-culture valued integrity anywhere near as much as it values bulling successfully, not just in this, or that, race/culture, but across all of 'em.

Thank you for highlighting the point you did, Hoomin…

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

( :

WHEN a project-cost increases TO A FACTOR-OF-5-TIMES the budgeted cost,

THEN criminal-convictions should be happening.

Just as normal commercial-contracts have a “kill this contract” point, for noncompliance, so too must public-taxpayer-payed projects, at 1.4x or 2x hard-max.

Extortion isn’t acceptable, “just because it is government”.

Take that extra-billion out of elected-authorities’ pensions & pay!

Make the ones who mismanage pay.

Accountability, right?
