There are some workable solutions inside the nation as well, as the federal system is dismantled. If WA, OR, CA, HI, the tribal counsels, and maybe AZ and NM (if they can play nice) got together, we could do a number of things to shore up the left part of the US.

First, states are not subject to patent. Each could choose a critical, expensive medication and produce it, sharing supply around the compact. Tribes could easily make epi-pens for their share.

Second, tie this into a compact equivalent of a multi-state healthcare that creates a floor healthcare for all citizens. Hawaii could lead this effort, they essentially already have it in their state. Get to the point you can cover people with income up to $70,000/yr california equivalent (based on living expenses) and let healthcare companies create supplemental plans like for medicare.

Third, as trump wrecks FEMA, form compacts for emergency response with mexico and canada and among these states. This is not currently legal but if FEMA is gone, why not just do it and who cares.

Fourth, create cooperative food sharing among states for excess crops. Federal programs just got destroyed, and california has a lot of excess supply. Let the compact members have a market where they can, as states, buy excess for their food programs. Let the program deal as an entity with non-compact states, which isn’t controlling interstate commerce, feds, it’s just the free market at work using the power of liberty to make red states either meet the price or we look outside the US.

A lot of this just recreates existing structures that are being destroyed, but leaves the red states that destroyed them to fend for themselves.

Boomers gonna love how this turns out.

There are actually limits to what you can bring into/out of a country.

Will the density of my pee affect this?

Lemmy is slowly accumulating mass - I’d really love it if we gained a number of strong niche communities, but didn’t turn into a reddit due to mass influx.

You count on them for support, I’m guessing. The only way cleanly getting out is to be able to accept the consequence they may set of cutting you off if you fail to uphold their beliefs. This is a people problem, not a religious problem, and religious people are as bad as the next person.

Matamata is really nice.

How about: name a country and name the smallest city you recognize from there. Like New Zealand you could say Rotarua

Looks very much like the tank (and its friend) had taken a hit and was being checked out by infantry; great way to test the expendability of russian infantry.

Car in a tree. I was working on an ambulance in the deep county, and the best we could make out, they left the road, hit a fence post that ramped them up, and landed on a solid branch 3 feet in the air. The car would bounce up and down as the firefighters forgot everything they knew about blocking and support and tried to get them out. The only thing missing was a hound dog barking at the base of the tree. It was delightful.

You mean our post.
