Are you on mobile or are you using desktop? The mobile app is definitely still in development so it's missing a lot of those QOL things that you are missing.
For me it's been helpful to use that fediverse search tool, and copy and paste it into the search. Seems to work better on desktop. I've got a decent feed going today, but it's definitely a work in progress.
I can't imagine thinking so much of yourself that you need to use AI to release a new song in this manner. It's wild.
Yeah I wonder about this a lot and what we would have to sacrifice to increase the amount of local food production. I know it would mean we'd have access to less "in season" items. But outside of that what would the impact be? Around me there are people starting farms for grass fed/free range meat, but how big can you scale that model. The way we transport/utilize food is terrible in the U.S.
Seems like the solution is to eat less meat (which I agree with in spirit). But also seems extremely unrealistic. It also doesn't cover all crops.
100% and I absolutely get that aspect. My original post was more about trying to find out what those rural solutions are since everyone commenting did keep saying things along the line of "all we need to do is __________".
Not debating the effectiveness of what they're suggesting, but also I'm allowed to ask what the other ideas are for those of us who are outside of the urban areas lol.
Sucks that he never recovered from that Achilles it seems like. Did he ever get a payday? I can't imagine being a 6th rounder, then getting so much hype, then cut multiple teams. Hope he gets some sort of back-up contract.
Yep yep, again. Agreed on all counts but that isn't what the original comments or the article was about. Which is why I brought it up in the first place. I think it's generally agreed that the more urbanized places would need revamping first. I'm just specifically asking about ideas in rural areas because that's where I'm from.
Yeah the track system is largely in place (not sure if freight or passenger). I'm not trying to argue lol. I'm just asking questions. So in your world there would be a mass spiderweb of intersecting trains that sprawls out to everywhere (obviously a kind of park and ride situation) and that would feed into the cities or other communities.
Makes me think about the whole idea of the Green New Deal that Sanders was talking about when he ran the first time. Get a giant workforce of people out there building railways and stations. Would be interesting to see for sure.
Yep, I'm not debating that point. I'm 100% in favor of doing that. I'm asking about solutions for everyone else. This debate is usually framed as "all we need to do is" when that isn't the case for everywhere or everyone. Just diving into it a little bit more.
Lol maybe in a smaller, more moderated space we can see a difference?
Sure thing, so you're saying a phased in approach that mainly focuses on the cities. I agree with that 100%. I'm just not a fan of people saying "that's all we need to do" and our problems are all fixed. Because it excludes the vast majority of the areas where I am from and I'm wondering if people have solutions other than "build more infrastructure". Everything else I agree with.
So to provide regularly scheduled public transportation we would need to build out rail infrastructure to country areas? I suppose a park and ride system would be effective but what would still require a mass buildout.
I'm thinking of areas like this one I attached. The nearest cities are 1hr drive from most towns, the cities are all small-midsized so don't have that many jobs (proportionally) in the first place. The solution is to put train stations in every town? Every other town? Then the cities themselves would need to build out rail infrastructure because Albany and Syracuse have very little in the way of public transportation.
Genuinely asking, not trying to come across as snarky. This is actually a middle-ground example. I could show you a map of WV or Western PA if you really want to see rural.
Holy crap, that's fast. Kudos!!
