I always bring up resources management. They probably won't go full hog in an armed uprising on US soil. Every bridge bombed is a bridge needed to rebuild. A carpet bombing of Texas will hit non-combatant citizens. A preemptive point against this would be the first civil war. Sherman's march ( the goat ) was different because the largest militaries decided to be neutral during the conflict. A crippling of an armed uprising will also cripple defense against China or Russia if they get froggy. Or if the damages could be justified. Like say a critical bridge was one of the MANY bridges that are on the verge of collapsing. Bomb it now and make Texas pay for it call it Biden's bridge etc. Or a track of land being used by rebels is prime railroad land/oil/etc.

This brings up one of the questions I have in regards to capitalism criticism. I understand that child labor is bad I would prefer labor be done safely and with respect. In a capitalist society undereducated and vulnerable people get the short end and often do these jobs. In a communist system dangerous and dirty work still needs to be done. How would labor be allotted that would cause a more egalitarian outcome. Personal example of my family were migrant farm workers. Uncle fucking hated doing field work he saved capital, went to community college, got a good paying job, is now paying my cousins way through cal poly. If the system is set up so that work is done by those who can then realistically he could still be a field hand and my cousin would probably follow him. How does a non capitalist system deter formation and unintentional enforcement of caste systems.

I am so sorry but I do not understand your comment. If you want an example of being forced to change. Hershey initially wanted the city to be a dry City, that didn't last long.

I forgot the source but there was a YouTuber that did a deep dive. It boiled down to Hershey being forced to pivot his goals. If I remember correctly he started with strict moral and civil planning and then it got progressively ness strict growing into an actual city.

Granted but it is held in high regard by many popes, including the current.

Not exclusive to Mormons. Devine comedy dictates different levels of heaven. Enoch also states levels of heaven.

Interesting note 20th century millionaires tried to tackle societal ills by making various utopia like projects. Hershey tried to make I think 3 cities (USA, Brazil, maybe Cuba) were he tried to control the populace. They all failed except maybe, USA the city is a tourist trap and major hospital. I think Spain had another with a long City, and a more modern example is Dubai with ..... Basically all of Dubai. Or California currently has a project being run by several tech people.

I get the jist of it. With context and congnates and some basic linguistics I can understand what is being said. I feel like I can also read it to a certain degree. If you are a native English speaker and want to feel what's it's like look up someone speaking "Scots" is a sister language to English and probably the closest to English without also being English.

Look up a YouTuber called Roseanvil. His gimmick is he cuts boots in half so see what they are made of. Short list of good, better, best... Thorogood, redwing, nicks. I work everyday in a pair of Thorogood not too expensive so I don't have to worry about damaging them and they are really comfortable. Redwing better quality and slightly more trendy/iconic, cool to wear around the city. Nicks are a higher end work boot, if your life depends on your boots get a pair of nicks, think wildland firefighter/logger. Honorable mentions Thursday, a fashionable boot that can be repaired easily. Jim green best bang for your buck, got my super picky father a pair, he loves them and gets compliments from his fellow boomer truck drivers.

A fifth and a handle are two different sizes. A fifth is 750 ml ≈ .2 gallon ( US customary) while a handle is 1.75 L ≈ .46 gallon ( us customary). note 1 gal ( US ) = .8gal ( imperial )
