The horse thing is an interesting take. Also year round school with a several 4 day weekends and a few weeks off is a good thing.

There's a book on historical urban uses of the horse, supposed to be pretty good. I haven't read it myself but a college friend did.

Year-round school works really well though? The only reason summer vacation became a thing was because kids used to work on the farm during the summer, don't really have to do that anymore. It also means there isn't this huge stretch where the kids who depend on school services lose that support.

places where year-round school is a thing also usually have three times as many holidays and several one or two week semester breaks instead of one big summer break. the entire european continent basically takes off the month of august

but also summer break rules and I will strangle anyone who tries to take it away

well it’s one way to make externalities less ignorable. of course you trade air-pollution which more or less affects everyone, for literal horse poo poo on the poor (those who can’t afford a horse).

either way it’s a real lovely solution if you are talking environmental concerns.

idk man even back when i was in elementary school i think i realized that having the break distributed over the year would be better than getting a huge block of free time in the summer only to be crushed when it ends and you have to wait a whole year to get more than a week off.

Making art unavailable to the public because one of the participants is problematic is highly reactionary, imo. Movies especially are collaborative efforts, and shouldn't be erased from the public just because a lead actor turns out to be some kind of sex prevert.

the movies should become public domain so everyone can see it but the creator doesn't make money.

Yep, but then you wouldn't have as many seats being filled by people who inexplicably want to follow famous actors to every movie they're in.

My kneejerk reaction to this was "but how will there be motivation to make movies the way they are without profit" and then I realized that would be a good thing and lack of profit motive would solve almost every problem the film industry has
