Ahh gotcha! Maybe it's just my paranoid mind, but wouldn't it be better to keep something like that run by vetted individuals rather than government? What's to prevent some nut job getting elected, even in Cali, and then doxxing people or something?

Haha kind of, depends on the individual! Most of my clothes don't have a visible label these days.

Damn you got me!

Could you please expand further on your idea of the mastodon accounts? Is this for safe social media use/communication that would be harder to track?

Thanks!!

You aren't thinking corporate profit centric uses...

We can put these on clothing so people can sell their personal ad space to companies!

Look at me, I am the billboard now!

Adding to this, the wealth disparity is going to continue to increase with those who have equities dramatically increasing their personal capitol, while the middle class is going to fall further behind.

I'm convinced a major part of inflation that goes completely ignored is the staggering amount of wealth generated by equities. People have literally seen 1 million become 2 or 3 over the last few years. They have been spending money with complete disregard... Watching what people buy at Costco is insane!

This is highly unlikely to cause a statistically significant difference in the polls. Having this strong of a view point on the matter is largely isolated to a specific demographic of younger, progressive voters, who are notoriously difficult to reach and accurately account for via traditional polling methods.

It registers as the 15th most important issue via a Gallup poll, and that doesn't account for which "side" the individuals polled support.

Of the 30% of the population saying it is an "extremely important issue," it gives no indication of what their desired resolution is.

On the extreme end of the spectrum, consider that 30% of our nation is in a death cult that believes Israel plays a role in their eventual salvation, not to mention how many people are blatantly racist and view anyone with darker skin as a terrorist.

I am registered, politically active, not difficult to locate and have had the same phone number for 20 years, yet, I MIGHT have been polled once in that time!

This isn't to say there aren't those who are doing as they say, but it is not likely to move polls one way or another.

Excellent comment, I frequently bring this concept to others attention when the term "colonizer" is used.

Arbitrary and selective use of the term to fit a specific narrative detracts from current day realities.

Somehow people seem to have forgotten that times of peace and respect for manmade borders and laws of sovereign nations are not the norm for history.

I don't understand this map, I live very close to the coast and am 20+ feet above sea level. 5 meters is 16' 4.85".

The highest point in Pinellas county is 110', for those who don't know, it's the peninsula on West Coast of Florida.

I'm not under the impression there will be a consistent land mass, but something more resembling new islands, keys and beach fronts makes more sense than showing areas entirely underwater.

Please don't ban me... I joined .ml because it was privacy, security and FOSS focused! I had no idea about the ancillary political focus now associated with it.

Assuming this isn't an attempt at trolling, Trump ran up the deficit nearly double that of Biden. Given that the argument is generally government spending leads to inflation, how exactly would that not indicate who is more responsible for inflationary costs?

I e been espousing #2 for years.... Companies used to actually train and invest in their employees, now it's all about poaching someone else from some other company rather than training and promoting within.
