Colonizer systems leverage ego depletion producing opposite effect. Ppl end up led by emotional dysregulation & socially regressive traits, because they're depleted. It's like a feedback loop that teaches ppl not to be self sustaining/ build endurance to harm, that only knows how to reproduce harm.

FACT! Todd has been a hugely disappointing mayor for San Diego, with apathy - at best - toward those less fortunate in our city. His closeness to wealthy developers and donors has come at a massive cost to ordinary citizens - he can’t be out of office soon enough.
Pretty typical of Todd Gloria’s San Diego to be subsidizing golf clubs that cost tens of thousands a year to join while people die on our streets www.cbs8.com/article/news...
Audit reveals San Diego missing out on millions in golf course revenue amid budget crisis
Audit finds San Diego losing millions in revenue from eight leased city golf courses, funds that could help address the city's $120 million budget deficit.

Austin's police staffing numbers are similarly all full of funny business. They fund hundreds of unfilled positions in the budget, but Broadnax insists that money can't be reclaimed when it's not spent, bc state law prevents ↓ the police budget. 1/2
As the article says, Chicago PD has 11,564 sworn officers and this report will claim 121 more are needed.
Updating my chart: 11,564/2.72 million x 100k
CPD has **425** officers per 100k residents and they want to increase to 429 (+ hundreds of civilians).
This is not a serious way to run a city.

Nothing I witnessed in #Russia while researching The Tiger in 2006-7 contradicts this assertion. Based on what I witnessed, Russia is the most intellectually and psychologically damaged country in the developed world. That MAGA USA emulates them should terrify and motivate everyone.
People _really_ need to understand that the problem with Russia isn't Putin; their entire culture and way of thinking is fantastically fucked up in so many ways.
Putin is just the latest symptom, and he's not the one systematically torturing nearly every POW, or murdering civilians
