@yogthos Believe it or not, in California they actually give you a bonus if a certain percent of your can returns to recycle centers is plastic. The local public trash cans have a can container on top, that has a slide that dumps it in the main trash compartnent. Not worth the cost of sorting etc. Also in the greenwash dept, we have some trashcans that look like compactors with solar panels for power. All the solar panel does is run a little blinking light. It's just a trashcan. Database of 200,000 cell images yields new mathematical framework to understand our cellular building blocks Rising rent, not poverty, is the real driver of homelessness https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/press-play-with-madeleine-brand/house-speaker-rain-homeless-film-reviews/housing @yogthos An LATimes survey a few years back showed 80% of their homeless were either working or work-ready. 20% problem-ed. Mind you these numbers are LA only. In my town, they chase off all the working poor without work... a net economic drain, and replace them with institutionalized poor... b/c Grant Money. This town will help you and house you if you're a drug/addict, behavioral health 'case', but if you're willing to work? Kick rocks. Here those LATimes numbers are otro via. U.S. no longer recognizes Guaidó as Venezuela's president, Biden official confirms.

One in ten people in US have no close friends. The share who have no close friends rose from 3% in 1991 to 12% in 2021. The share who have 10 or more close friends has also fallen from 33% to 13%. @yogthos I found this quite surprising at 1st: “Importantly, Republicans have more bipartisan friendships than #Democrats do.” Republicans are less tolerant of others, & non-republicans prefer not to be around intolerant people. OTOH, dems outnumber #republicans & let’s face it: rt-wingers are not exactly partying hipster types.. more introverted. So republicans are inherently isolated @yogthos ALieNation ("The Halluci Nation - ALie Nation Ft.
