how to run a PDF

Not that stupid. PDF is scriptable.

That’s why everybody has to move into one designated city and determine politics with their votes.

Select a city that can be expanded and low rent will become an additional advantage.

Better is not good enough. One place has to show the full potential of public transport, with the option for everybody to move there. That forces every other city to be equally good.

Not remote workers, startups and the employees of expanding businesses that profit from the influx of motivated people.

It’s not a given but a solvable problem.

For the old cars nothing happens because there is no majority to change the regulations, which could be changed easily.

Likewise new areas could easily have public transport but there are no majorities for that.

It’s all about having the majority.

Jobs also go to where skilled workers are and there are remote jobs. The selection of the designated city is the big problem, not the jobs.

It’s difficult but still the easiest path forward. It’s not for everybody. If public transport is not a priority for choosing a place to live then that’s ok. However everybody who has such a priority should meet in one place if they want it as fast as possible.

Designate one city

That’s not nowhere.

The big decoupling is coming. Moving to China is not an option for everybody who hates cars.

What about all the other political demands that are ignored forever? To make a change, actions have to be taken which require majorities. The easiest path would be to meet in one city. The frightening part is that it could be successful.

Start with one city. Designate one city and allow everybody who wants public transport to move there. The city will be public transport paradise soon.

Downvoters, what’s wrong with that approach? You know Divide and Conquer. To make a change, resources have to be focussed. Have one successful city and others will want to follow.

Lame, not boring. Some people believe in war.

Supposedly this time it was pride that has prevented peace, I would say on both sides.

With Russia on Nato’s side, there would be another Eight-Nation Alliance and China would be split, however ethical that would be.

Btw, Ex-Nato head George Robertson said Putin wanted to join alliance in the early 2000s but did not want to wait in line with ‘countries that don’t matter’

Vladimir Putin wanted Russia to join Nato but did not want his country to have to go through the usual application process and stand in line “with a lot of countries that don’t matter”, according to a former secretary general of the transatlantic alliance.

George Robertson, a former Labour defence secretary who led Nato between 1999 and 2003, said Putin made it clear at their first meeting that he wanted Russia to be part of western Europe. “They wanted to be part of that secure, stable prosperous west that Russia was out of at the time,” he said […]

I think at the deepest level the elite still believes in the Iliad and they want this war.

Big war in 2027

Chat message scanning can come in October, age verification is also introduced in various countries. Things are getting serious.

There has been a widespread misconception that China operates a nationwide and unitary social credit “score” based on individuals’ behavior, leading to punishments if the score is too low. Media reports in the West have sometimes exaggerated or inaccurately described this concept.[4][5][6] In 2019, the central government voiced dissatisfaction with pilot cities experimenting with social credit scores. It issued guidelines clarifying that citizens could not be punished for having low scores and that punishments should only be limited to legally defined crimes and civil infractions. As a result, pilot cities either discontinued their point-based systems or restricted them to voluntary participation with no major consequences for having low scores.

Unfortunately not. It was mentioned in a lemmy comment.

Supposedly there was a ruling in California that made them responsible.

I feel like being part of a setup that was created for this comment. That’s more than I ever expected. Thank you very much.

How can something like this evolve?

No way to communicate between them.

Vendor lock-in. The next generation will demand teams because they cannot get used to other shortcuts.
