What country?

This makes sense...and it's theoretically possible to teach two different approaches (ie witnessed collapse = hands only, found down (&narcan didn't work?) = full CPR), but I'm worried the result would be "y'all are clearly idiots and not worth listening to on anything" = less CPR incl hands only

This is what counts as a joke for them now.

Half of our country calls that freedom and of the remainder, half are still afraid of McCarthy.

How else do chronic diseases end?
Bugger made it sound like a promise.

It's not the same here as some of the other sites. This site is set up so that people can gain new followers quickly. Some of the other sites are flooded with bots & most of what I do is block them.

He & Ferguson are very good with optics stuff like this.
They are not good at taking care of vulnerable people they are elected to serve.
Optics would be much more powerful if they actually did the work.

People want to *kill* people because they *lived*?
And they're being open & honest about it?
We're not reading between the lines?
Do they really want a chance at being maxed on the vent, bleeding out, while still clotting off their circuit?
Didn't think so.

I've seen a bland screenshot of a text paragraph and then basically a poster like thing advertising it as "the sit down wave".

Everybody hating on this site clearly doesn't spend much time on the Meta text based social media.

Watch him say it. Find your love, choose your bravery.

You may either choose differently, now, or be judged accordingly, forever.
Throw out the idea that "kindness costs nothing".
Real, genuine, radical kindness resists authoritarianism.
Real kindness will cost you absolutely everything.

General strike? No. I'm fine with that.
Saying it means every union member strikes ie all the hospitals in some areas will be completely empty of workers? Yes. Killing people is what I'm against. 🤦♂️

It is not possible tomorrow.
Multiple things you said really just don't make sense and you keep coming back to them.
I hope this is not who you are irl.

People dying: bad
If you strike does it gum up other people's lives: good
Does nobody notice but you can contribute $ to mutual aid: keep working

The theory behind a general strike that I have seen isn't that all the unions are going to do it. That's the cheater version that doesn't understand unions. (PS we don't all have strike funds).
It's *everyone* does it tactically.

If you're a union member, talk to your union. That's all I'm saying.
Unions operate based on rules.
Random people on social media cannot call for a strike.
There are unions that violate no strike - but not all of us.

If you are not a union member, you cannot call for the unions to strike.
Also, considering how many hospitals are unionized in some areas, this is accelerationist rhetoric. We won't win people over by all the HCW walking out & causing death.
And some of us have no strike contracts.

Well, you're talking to somebody who makes fun of the local NIMBYs for using the Orcas as their excuse for why we can't change zoning laws. I don't have a problem with changing zoning laws, I do think we need to be aware that we make protections for accessibility as we do it.

You're talking to somebody who missed 3 family funerals and after approx 10 years finally made it on a real vacay to OR & CA.
I have a much different opinion on hard things are.
But I once went to a conference in LA & did it all with transit. (Yes, I took the bus in LA). 🫡

I don't want monster cars, they're dangerous, and expensive, you can't find parking for them if you have to go into our cities, the drivers are irresponsible...I want sensible hatchbacks.
I don't know who some of your points are directed at.

Fit is higher up than most small cars; I've given rides to people who struggled to get in & out of anything that wasn't a big car - but the Fit was fine, the seats high enough, the door wide enough.
comment in response to
post
I don't believe in that kind of car.
My fave two cars were my first & my current, an early 90s Honda Civic Dx and a mid 10s Honda Fit - both stick shift and which, when driven properly, can get gas mileage that rivals a hybrid.
Hatchback means you can haul stuff.

I share a car with my partner. I re-arranged my entire life so that a transit commute is still feasible after a bus reroute ruined my commute. They goofed up my transfer with this commute, I changed buses.

Can you please describe your experiences taking transit? Especially any times in your life that it was your primary mode of transportation, and how often you take transit currently? Can you please describe what you yourself are doing to be less car dependent?

*my state is saying (re: the parking). (It's a new thing.)
comment in response to
post
I'm saying we ARE building transit in the suburbs, ridership IS increasing, we ARE limiting parking on new construction - maybe not in your state, but it's happening here - and it is not equitable & disabled ppl are forgotten.
Surely you can think of ppl who can't walk 6 miles a day?
comment in response to

FWIW, "the 3 county Sound Transit region" is mostly suburb. I have lived multiple places where I have had to walk 2 miles to get to a bus or a train & it's a steep mile uphill in the city.
My state still says apartments only need 0.5 parking spaces.
