one of my coworkers asked if there was something wrong with our website cause she hadn't gotten any job applications lately and we have 14 job postings. I check the CMS, nothing wrong, nothing submitted since August 3rd. I go on the actual site to see the jobs and all but 1 of them are part time positions listed for $10 an hour or less edit: there was one for $15 an hour, part time, explicitly states college degree and expierenced required. curiously no applicants for that one either The Nastier Nate has issued a correction as of 18:23 on Aug 11, 2021 |

Hurt Whitey Maybe posted:y’all are all hoping for a collapse but really it’s not going to be something that just happens one day. well, I wouldn't say hoping. but yeah, that's the idea. we're already in the process of collapsing, arguably it started before many of us were born. it's probably still possible to arrest that collapse in a meaningful way, but, well, lol

i am harry posted:no way everything's a venn diagram now. What does industrial agriculture have to do with 70 people foraging wild plants and hunting rodents in some forgotten corner of the biosphere? Did you read my post? Industrial civilization is incredibly fragile and killing 98% of humanity is trivially easy, all that takes is one malfunctioning missile warning satellite. Shattering industrial civilization forever and reducing humans to just one of the smarter animals out there in the jungle isn't the same as total biosphere collapse and the extinction of all complex life.

Chemical fertilizers have never been necessary. Green manures can replace them. The rest is usually cheap mineral inputs like rock phosphate or green sand. Ley farming and manure are ideal for building soil quickly. But green manures can do it just as well.

As someone who lives in an area whose aquifer has been poisoned by radioactive mine tailings from rock phosphate mines that are allowed to just pile up the tailings into huge mountains and leave them there, maybe it should be a little more expensive than it is.

Which part of the biosphere do you think is going to survive a) long term and b) with the massive caloric requirements for large mammals like humans? Everywhere is going to experience a massive change in temp, newly invasive species, and all the radiation, chemical spills, and general fuckups of humanity.

There's plenty of instances in the geologic record of real fuckin' bad poo poo happening incredibly suddenly to Earth leaving absolutely no time for anything to adapt. Whenever a big-rear end asteroid hits the entire planet catches on fire at once, followed by a decades-long impact winter, and then (if it hit anywhere near the coast or a shallow sea) millennia-long intense greenhouse warming due to vaporized carbonate rock throwing more CO2 into the air than we'd ever be able to produce. None of these managed to destroy the biosphere or even render it so broken that large things ceased to exist.

Hollandia posted:I remember seeing a goon go I have unironically made a very similar argument as this towards green party types talking about like save the dolphins or polar bears or whatever, where frankly from a political perspective I must conclude that these are weak as gently caress arguments that will not sway people to take action. Even myself when push comes to shove I don't really think I give all that much of a gently caress about a species more or less extinct. What I do give a gently caress about is making sure this planet remains hospitable to human life, and so I care about species extinction leading to ecosystem collapse leading to humans being hosed in that context. So like, gently caress save the environment or dolphins or whatever, but hell yes to let's ensure human beings can live on this planet as comfortably as possible. What I totally underestimated was that the vast majority of people with power also don't give even the slightest gently caress about ensuring human beings can live on this planet. And even for most voters this is apparently a tough sell. Failed Imagineer posted:Reading this at 9am has made me go full Maoist for the day This is the real core rot the Republican party has managed to introduce in the US political system. Effectively the federal government does not control large parts of the country because state/local governments can and are just choosing to ignore them. The federal government can make their laws, but they can not enforce them. This is some real collapse poo poo. Orange Devil has issued a correction as of 10:21 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Probably, and still you can get by without it with actual manure and good compost. So ley farming/rotating between pasture, vegetable production, and fallow.

Business Gorillas posted:Landlords are allowed to refuse the rent relief And the eviction moratorium only covers non-payment of rent. They can still pick from a long list of bullshit other reasons. The government is supposed to disburse the funds to the renter if the landlord refuses, but I haven't heard of that happening very often I wonder why!
