The window of habitability on this planet is quickly closing. Nothing to do now but enjoy every good day we have left 🥂 and stop bringing life into a doomed world

I think weighing the value of various lives is not only appropriate but inevitable. Ethics is the field of choosing who to save from burning building scenarios. We CAN'T value all organisms the same. I think preserving habitability of the planet is worth having conversations about tho.

Conflicts ranged from mechanized infantry and armor, to tooth and claw. But fighting rarely ever reached the city states themselves; their wars burned fast and quick. First contact with the Ascarians was a Daphur exploration fleet razing an Ascarian colony world for its ideal habitability.

When my water heater broke (which was built around the same time) it literally took 2 weeks for them to fix it. I went two weeks without hot water in Los Angeles in late 2024. Threatening them with legal action was the only reason they fixed it. I don't think an oven timer is a habitability issue

Maybe our policy priority should be that for-profit MFH ensures landlords provide good habitability for tenants, including A/C and heat, and recognize they aren't the same as our co-op and similar MFH settings.

There's a million ways for a locality to keep this place from ever opening.

Certificates of habitability, zoning for use, hookups for water, electric, gas, environmental impact, sewer / septic, sex or other offenders or guns near schools.

That's off the top of my head. They can 💯 stop this.

Its sad, even if we get the policial crap in order, climate chance is quickly closing the window of habitability on this planet, nothing we can do about that now. Just enjoy every good day we have left, stop bringing life into a doomed world, and prepare to go down swinging 🥂
