that’s exactly the kind of thing I’d be afraid of in this situation!

how does (or how would) socialized healthcare affect unions’ contracts, bargaining processes, etc?
like if I’m campaigning for say, single-payer in Oregon, what do I need to be aware of?

It’s even more extreme than that if you want full self-sufficiency. The average US diet requires ~2 acres of land (cropland + pasture)/person/year. So a family of 4 would need ~8 acres.

(It’s less if you eat more plants/fewer animal proteins than avg American, but it’s still a looooot of land.)

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

I find it interesting that the owner of an office building designed in the height of maximal car culture is now raging against improving access to his building by those not using cars.

All the windows had these aluminum frames and the whole joint was carpeted and you couldn't go anywhere without getting a static shock

The line Terry wants to see drawn is: more BAT lanes = greater pedestrian safety (compared to other scenarios)

Incidentally, for Portland history nerds: the Fubonn building was built in 1963 as the headquarters for the Portland District US Army Corps of Engineers. No one liked the building

Terry is very very solidly on our side; this quote sounds confusing to me
