    I’ve never read the instructions for how to use a pitchfork yet I feel completely qualified to use one.

      Poor Boliviens used humble gardening tools to reclaim their water from Bechtel. But honestly, besides weapons training, we need to study socialist theory abd build a vanguard against reactionaries.

        I have always been fascinated by the constant failure of the “paperless” office.

        What is it about holding a piece of paper in your hand?

        It’s tangible. I have it in my hand. I can trust it. It won’t CHANGE tomorrow.

        Trump CHANGES tomorrow CONSTANTLY.

        This “paperless” politician has FAILED.

          Eh everything has pros and cons. We need more trees and mutually beneficial vegetation, less data centers and smog. And while I’m not sure how to solve any of that besides reliable public transit, including rural areas (possibly dependent on smogless, less intensive-mining energy, possibly renewable) and planting more of said vegetation, I bet some engineers have great ideas. And since it’s already been done and is being done, we can learn from successes and failures of our neighbors who’ve done it.

      Cool. Do you have one at the ready? Are you able to find one if you don’t when stores are closed down? When was the last time you saw a pitchfork at the hardware store?

      If you’re in a rural area, you’ll be more likely to respond with, “Last week,” but when shit goes down, it won’t be in the 'burbs or in the country. That’s where it’ll end up, though.
