There is another benefit to this approach: Law enforcement can easily handle a 10,000 person riot, but will be overwhelmed by 10, 100-person protests. When the federal response arrives with sufficient force to drive everyone out, leave, but don’t go home. Go to the next site on your list. Force them to redeploy.

Rivalarrival@lemmy.todayto California@lemmy.world•'Biggest regret of our lives': Kids allegedly lead poisoned in Yellowstone National Park employee housingEnglish9·15 hours ago“All we ever want is for the park to tell people now, clearly communicate it, and not allow young children to live in those houses in historic Mammoth,” Anthony Aiuppa said.
The lead in these homes needs to be mitigated, or the buildings can’t be used for housing. Prohibiting families with children from occupying them is not permissible under the Fair Housing Act.

I mean, when a piefed user and a piefed shadow account participate and vote in the same thread, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to conclude they might be the same person. Look through a handful of the user’s comment threads, look for piefed users voting in the preceding comments for confirmation.
Unless the user only votes in threads they do not participate in, and only participates in threads they do not vote in, correlating the two accounts is trivial.

So is antidepressant use.
Rivalarrival@lemmy.todayto politics @lemmy.world•This is a map of Los Angeles. The arrow points to a red dot. That red dot (roughly) represents the protest area seen on TV.English17·1 day agoThey need to spread out. LAPD can handle a 10,000 person riot, but they’d be overwhelmed by 20, 100-person protests.
If you’re going to protest, pick 20 possible protest sites in the city, and share your list with everyone. When the riot cops finally show up at your site, move to another; force them to repeatedly redeploy.
IMO, you can’t really cut “sweet”. You can increase the complexity; you can make it “rich”, but the sweetness tends to overpower whatever you might add.
You might have better luck starting with British-style baked beans. My local (US) grocery stores carry Heinz Beanz

He is constitutionally empowered to appoint the officers of the NG units. He can discharge them, effectively disbanding the National Guard units. California has a State Guard as well as National Guard. The State Guard answers solely to the Governor; it cannot be federalized. Newsom can offer the officers and troops commissions in the State Guard or the State Police, while disbanding the National Guard units.

Rivalarrival@lemmy.todayto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteerEnglish1·2 days agoSmaller charities tend to do much better in my experience.
UBI is not charity. UBI is what the nation owes you as a shareholder of USA, Inc.
Giving people money doesn’t teach long term skills that lead to success.
Exactly. Which is why the children of rich people so often become homeless. All that money they had when they were kids kept them from learning long-term skills that lead to success. It stunted their financial growth, rendering them particularly susceptible to poverty.
The children of the impoverished, on the other hand, were forced to learn money management skills for their very survival. The superior money management skills of impoverished kids practically guarantee their future success.
This explains why self-made millionaires are so common, and generational wealth is so difficult to maintain.
Right? That’s how it works in your head, right? The people with easy access to money never learn how to manage it and ultimately squander it, right? The people who have to fight for every dime are the most successful, right?
Right?
I also think it would be better to have private organizations that have less bureaucracy.
Agreed. And an organization doesn’t get smaller or privater than a single individual. We can cut out 100% of the bullshit bureaucracy and give it straight to the individual, directly, or their caregiver if they are not qualified to maintain their own affairs. Remove everyone else, as they don’t add shareholder value.
Rivalarrival@lemmy.todayto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteerEnglish21·2 days agoIndeed.
Each of the issues you described is mitigated - if not cured - by steady income. And each is greatly exacerbated by a lack of such income.
What is really important is that the family and friends of the people struggling with these conditions aren’t also impoverished. The outcomes of each these conditions are vastly improved when the sufferer’s caregivers have the time and resources to attend to them.
UBI benefits everyone involved.
For the cases where the individual is not capable of managing their own money, it is still better for their caregiver to receive and manage their money on their behalf than to periodically send them crates of cauliflower and tomatoes.
