Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe
Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

Two pillars prevent Russian assault on Euro-Atlantic territory: NATO unity and Ukraine's fight.
If either erodes, 'the risk of armed confrontation between Russia and Europe would increase considerably.'
Ukraine buys Europe time it's not using effectively.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

I really really hope no one in southern Jamaica is less than, say, five meters above sea level. This is an extreme weather event. If there had been a category six, it would have been a category six.

901 mb is... low. Basically 10% of the atmosphere gone, or what is usually the pressure one kilometer above sea level.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

1/4 Trump fell for it again.
He spoke with Putin just one day before meeting Zelensky and agreed to meet him in Budapest to discuss peace.
Budapest is Putin’s turf.
This is a delay tactic to stop Trump from selling missiles to Ukraine
