Calling a monkey King figure a god isn’t as outlandish as you may think.

Right. There’s totally no major evasion of these export restrictions going on. 😉

All of the clay gets compressed which means the water can’t drain into the ground anymore and the underground drainage canals get damaged. And then the city turns back into a fucking lake after it goes between drought and flooding because the only way to create a surface water reservoir is to turn the now sunken city back into a goddamn toxic and polluted lake/marsh. That or attempt to geoengineer it into a desert which also defeats the purpose of human habitation. Eventually “fixing” the problems will become more expensive than what they’re worth for more development but nobody really knows where that inflection point lies for the valley of Mexico.

Flour and water, meemaw. Flour and water.

I’ve had it with these motherfucking Quetzalcoatls on this motherfucking airship.

You wouldn’t expect more (or less) primary causes if more secondary causes were reported in multifactorial deaths. I’d imagine the fact that in the US CMS adopted ICD-10 in 2015 and the rapid rise after would make that obvious enough. Unless you believe there’s some pre-COVID etiology for malnutrition that explains the jump I’m not seeing.

Dunno. I’m a US nurse. I don’t know how France does their death certificates. Wouldn’t surprise me that they’re more granular though.

Be aware, very old people die from this as a secondary cause from a primary of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. They just stop eating. It’s a misleading statistic to use to identify poverty based malnutrition.

At least the AP offers the perspective that this is likely just state terrorism even if it’s understated.

There’s one scene they didn’t dub and you can tell:

I have certainly experienced epididymal hypertension before and can assure you it’s a real thing that feels like getting kicked in the nuts. But it only happened once.

Yeah but that’s like my default interaction with the internet in the first place pre llm.

The Democrat-Republican party was agrarian and anti federal. After the federal party collapsed there was a split with the agrarian Democrats and the more federalist types joining the whigs which became the Republicans. Democrats stayed largely agrarian/extractive until Roosevelt and particularly Truman realigned them to support more metropol interests. The republicans meanwhile largely supported centralized authority which has always favored the metropol until that switch. Now there’s no Rockefeller Republicans left. That’s why the American midwest is Republican. The southern strategy and race is a very important key, but land density usage is something you will see is not American specific in how these power coalitions form.

Trollfoot.

To a degree for sure. When it comes to general rural vs Urban there hasn’t really been the switch that the US had. And the broad strokes as to how those coalitions screw people because they focus on the monied interests of their respective constituents hasn’t changed. And that’s what played out here, where the tories ended up trying to adopt more progressive policies to support their rural base and got abandoned because of it. The liberals just never tried and absorbed that reactionary status quo in 35. It was pressure from the NDP that really forced the liberals to change their spots. Pierre Trudeau leaving the NDP for the liberals due to their inability to “win elections” says a lot more about the effectiveness of the election system at describing the will of the electorate than anything else.

Edit: wrong reply

Yeah they fucking demolished the tories in the 35 election and what’s telling was they still didn’t promise to do much. Certainly no new deal initiative. At that point I’m sure the electorate realized they were well and truly fucked. Thus the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation made a showing, which eventually became the NDP.
