it also gives them the bonus of

1) the psuedo-egalitarian actions they crave, "doing something for others"
2) they get to remake schools in a vision of the way they think they should have experienced school to begin with, a vision arrived at later in life based on how they experienced their adulthood success

its like parents living vicariously though their children, except they want to live vicariously through everyone's children

This is nothing else but a thinly veiled desire to rule or dominate someone else through financial superiority while insulating you and yours from the world at large, and a superiority complex which makes you believe that you are the only competent person to wield that power.

I also see this in Japan. If you go to Rakuten's headquarters there is a huge video screen presenting how one of the founders is building a school and how it is his dream etc. I see SoftBank having a trillion dollars to invest.

I also see https://www.nippon.com/en/in-depth/a04603/ and people I know not being able to go to work because all kindergarten spots are filled. I remember reading somewhere that Japan's population is decreasing at the speed of 50 people per hour.

quote:

The average age of Japan�s single mothers is 40. Of the total, 80.8% are divorced, while a mere 7.8% are unwed mothers. Another 7.5% are widows. Their average annual income, including all government benefits, child support, and alimony, is �2.23 million, about half of Japan�s median household income. Although a full 80.6% of single mothers are employed, their annual wage earnings average only �1.81 million, less than half the average for all Japanese households.

Part of the reason for this situation is that wages for women in Japan are low overall. According to figures released by the National Tax Agency, in 2010 about 43% of all working women were earning �2 million or less annually. Nonregular employment, which has risen among both men and women, now accounts for almost 70% of the positions occupied by women. The fact is that poverty is a growing problem for Japanese women in general, not just single mothers.

Japan�s gender pay gap is among the widest in the industrial world, and when it comes to parents, the disparity is particularly pronounced. According to a 2012 report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the �price of motherhood� in Japan is exceptionally high, with working mothers earning some 60% less than working fathers on average.

it's legal in many hippie-dippie cities to keep chickens in your backyard, yeah. there's usually a limit on how many and you can't keep roosters.

hard to say. it's the rich liberal kind of hippie-dippie, where you drive a prius and use cloth bags at the supermarket and listen to npr and go on hikes with your dog child. i could see how they'd pass a law allowing people to raise fowl in order to cultivate that image of being in touch with the environment, knowing that no one in their neighborhood would ever actually do it.

I had a chicken as a pet as a child in my small town in Oregon

People in my neighborhood have chickens (and illegal roosters)

they sell coops at Costco

My coworker keeps chickens but they live in a more rural property

What�s funny is in the little lovely rural village I mostly grew up in in Nebraska, keeping chickens was considered something �those drat illegals� do, along with goats

selling from an actual farm is usually ok. running an ag operation out of a residentially zoned property often isn�t.

palo alto wasnt always a tech buble billionaire playpen. its history is as a bohemian college town where eccentric academics lived and it was leavened with crunchy-granola bay area seventies ideology. the shopping district used to have lots of weird little cafes and used bookstores (theyve largely been gentrified into oblivion but there are still a few traces of them if you know where to look). raising chickens has probably been legal in palo alto for a long time. stanfords long-running official nickname was The Farm, after all.

Dogs like that are trained to help their owners get up when they fall down. They have to be big, strong, and not prone to joint issues. It's p cool, you start to fall and they try to get under you. Failing they they lay next to you so you can plant your hands for them to help you up.
