For context, a study the City of Ottawa commissioned showed that new sprawl costs $465 per person per year, whereas high-density infill "pays for itself and leaves the city with an extra $606 per capita each year."
Sprawl is unsustainable environmental and economically.

I'm not a big brained political strategist like Jamil Jivani, which is probably why I don't understand why he'd go on Breitbart's podcast and criticize Canadian attitudes towards the US

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later --not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt." Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was signed into law, Social Security would be solvent for the next 75 years, benefits would go up by $2.400 & the bottom 91% of Americans would not pay a penny more in taxes. Instead, Dr. Oz wants you to work until you drop dead.
Republicans and corporate America would rather work you into the grave than tax the wealthy a dime. No rest. No retirement. Profits over people & work til you die is the Republican way!

The Operational Workflow of Cyborg Propaganda. Cyborg propaganda utilizes an AI multiplier to scale distinctiveness. A central coordination hub issues a single strategic directive (e.g., βOppose the new tax billβ). This coordination hub may retrieve data from an AI system monitoring emerging narratives and shifts on social media. The hub may vary in terms of automation versus human involvement. To overcome recruitment bottlenecks, the system utilizes network harvesting, where users are incentivized to supply data on friends and neighbors, linking private social graphs with public voter registries. An AI-driven multiplier engine then processes the operative directive alongside individual user profiles, analyzing their posting history, syntax, and background characteristics of each participant. The system generates thousands of unique, context-aware message variations, effectively performing βstyle transferβ to match each userβs voice. Simultaneously, the system may employ gamification or monetary rewards to incentivize user engagement. Verified human users then ratify and broadcast these posts or comments. The resulting information cascade creates a manufactured consensus that exhibits the linguistic diversity of a genuine grassroots movement, thereby bypassing duplicate-content filters and signaling authenticity to social peers. Crucially, the system operates as a closed feedback loop: The AI Monitor continuously tracks the performance of these posts or comments on social media, feeding engagement data back into the organizer directive to adjust strategy in real-time. Simultaneously, successful narratives are harvested to reinforce and fine-tune the AI Multiplier to produce increasingly persuasive content in subsequent cycles.
The Core Mechanism:
π€ The Tech: A central "organizer" sends a directive. An AI multiplier generates thousands of unique, style-matched captions.
π¨ The Human: Real, verified users review and click "post".
