So combine that with the UN condemning Detroit for shutting off people's water, and that's two major US cities condemned by the UN for their inhumane living conditions. Let's see how many more end up on the list. Of course Detroit has the excuse that all the corporations that it invested in abandoned it. This is everything working as designed in San Francisco. It's a wonder there aren't more riots.

Let's see how many more end up on the list. To be clear, the shantytowns are mostly in Oakland which is a much smaller tax base than San Francisco. So its pretty much the same process as Detroit just Oaklands government hasnt completely collapsed yet. Oaklands government is caught between popular support in the flats (poor parts) for homeless support like building housing and declaring safe zones for shanty towns and political pressure from the hills (rich as gently caress) to stop wasting money. Its overall very similar to what happened to Detroit, rich communities like Palo Alto, Mountain View, Atherton, just push the poor people and homeless into cities like Oakland and Richmond while sharing none of the tax revenue.

Aren't lie detectors mostly pseudo-science anyways? They're just giving a computer the chance to randomly harass you.

comedyblissoption posted:this is why google et al are gaming search results to herd people into the mainstream approved propaganda outlets and "Fact Check" sites a lot of things have been memory holed in the last year by google--i first noticed it trying to find the biblical verse powerpoint slides the bush admin used internally to plan the iraq war, and the only source was a mirror on the daily mail--and it legit scares me as much as any of the stupid poo poo trump says.

bawfuls posted:looks like a key bit of this is the long strings hanging from each balloon, so don't forget that when assembling your anti-drone armada! its the exact same strategy as WW1 barrage balloons cheap as gently caress too, the most expensive part is the helium E: only drawback is the fact that rubber balloons are bad for the environment Rhesus Pieces has issued a correction as of 20:11 on Nov 1, 2018 |

Rated PG-34 posted:nice. let a thousand balloons free. i thought we were running out of helium tho It's the highly purified helium used for super cooling that is becoming scarce, it only takes a small fraction to make a balloon less dense than air. The other option is to fill them with hydrogen
