Car-centric cities are isolating us and killing us (both mentally and literally). Please end it now. That's my soapbox, and I'm not going to get off it. But also, I like fast sports cars. Life is complicated, and so am I. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Also an MMT apologist.

We're not witnessing a golden age; We're witnessing a collapse.

Don't know who needs to hear this, but...
Austerity doesn't help economies; it crashes them. That's where DOGE is going to take us. #MMT

Also, spending money on literally anything is fine so long as it generates more economic activity and value than the currency invested in it. Whether that's the case here is up for debate. #ModernMonetaryTheory

False. Learning and innovating costs money, and so far, that innovation has been worth it for SpaceX. Though, Elon has become such a nutjob, I don't know whether that trend will continue.

Knowing there's people like you in the world gives me hope.

I know far too many people who are stuck in this situation. People who have done everything reasonable to try to improve their situations.

I am not in this situation anymore. But I'm willing to recognize the role that luck and fortune played in that.

There are four failed stars and a dozen or more planets. Dwarf planets are still planets, and we shouldn't be prejudice.

One of Strong Towns’ core principles is that land must not be squandered, because it’s the base resource from which community prosperity is built and sustained. Here is what this can look like in practice:
