1897 stand im US-Staat #Indiana ein Gesetz kurz vor der Verabschiedung welches u.a. die Quadratur des Kreises festschreiben sollte. Das #Repräsentantenhaus hatte bereits zugestimmt, der #Senat vertagte sich auf unbestimmte Zeit. 😳😂😩🙄

The #survival skills I learned as a poor #Indiana redneck didn't have much to do with the suburban prepper fantasy play I see a lot of these days.

For us, survival was mostly about knowing how to:

Fix things that break..
Feed ourselves with little $.
Make things instead of buying.
Be good to our neighbors.

During Trump's first botched pandemic response and tradewar buffoonery, I remember *well* how little was on the shelves, how expensive it was and how having those skills helped.

Infrastructure is great, but we have to be cognizant of the environmental impacts

Widening highways should be right off the table, and money should be directed to active transportation methods such as biking, busing, and walking. 80% of Americans may commute by automobile today, but we induce this demand with ever more and faster roads. We have to stop doing this and encourage travel by other methods instead.
