Useful subskill I’d call it, I use it for scout mastering, organising (in nonprofits), adult training, team projects, event organisation, coaching and consulting both nonprofit and for work.

Observing groups is a very useful skill, in minutes you can tell who’s where in the hierarchy, what the cliques are, how well they coordinate, how information flows, and where influence springs from.

This let’s you not only insert yourself at the right moment, peg, and place for maximum efficacy, but also informs you of barriers, challenges to overcome, and next steps for the group to act better together.

Hobby/skill/interest in Group dynamics, useful for coaching, creating community, project organisation, and group coaching.

This is actually hilarious. It’s an absurdist parody on a parody of absurdism.

Which makes it meta-absurd 🤣

Oh don’t get me wrong, it’s a thoroughly unjust system. That is just their argument for perpetuating it. (I could definitely have phrased it better)

And I also believe it’s rigged.

Which means that the only way to win is to break the rules, or play a different game, which sounds more ominous than intended. But I do believe we need to do away with capitalism, or the very least capitalists. Either the $1 billion “you win” cap, or just a wholly different way of economic organisation. Other options are available, but few are as civil.

Agreed. It’s very hard to beat the system from within. And their arguments only make sense within it.

Now if only there was a way to break the system… 🤔

Which is precisely the argument they give for why capitalists are needed, and thus warrant recompense (at the expense of the worker).

I mean, the counter-argument is that nothing is stopping you from creating such a co-op today. You not doing it is seen as a point in favor of capitalism/ruling class.

Show them wrong?

The article is “Trump truthed” rage bait.

The “cheating” is on the original USMCA where Canada has imposed steep tariffs on dairy products over a certain quota.

You’ll know your body best, but it does take quite some effort to take in and process information.

On very tired days I typically only review my notes (to keep up the SRS) and/or do some admin. Also I try to make sure it’s not only studies having to compromise when my energy is flagging.

Why don’t realtors share their closing prices? Seems like a good marketing tactic - “look how much I can get you for this thing”.

You could also take a look at listing prices for land of different types. Or even just call realtors and say you’re interested in buying something similar to yours and ask what the range is for them.

You could probably also buy this data from a data broker for cheap.

EtA, you could probably also hire someone on fiverr or upwork to do this research.

Check sales listings for any sold property at that price?

You don’t have the highest immigration rates, and sometimes not even in absolute numbers.

The US has about 50 million total immigrants, or about 14 % of the population, that’s behind both Germany (19 %) and Saudi Arabia (89 %).

Considering why most of those people are fleeing their homes, the US might want to sit this argument out…

I like your suggestions and I think they’d go a long way towards preventing the current situation to spontaneously happen again.

But I don’t think I see a path toward it until someone consolidates power to then create stability enough for these types of policies to be approachable.

I can’t see neither Florida nor the Senate voting (anytime soon) for anything like that decentralisation of power.

I’ll suggest that the nazis and fanatics don’t get to express their nazi or fanatical views.

You can check out Popper’s Paradox/Paradox of Tolerance, which suggests that a tolerant society must counteract intolerance or it spreads to destroy all tolerance.

Great suggestion, I’ll put it near the top of the improbable pile.
