Anyway, link to the post
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Most humans do live in a city. I'm not talking down at you for not living in a city, it's strictly a practical application of an observation.
It's worth noting a few things:
Idk about elsewhere, but in the US, you still have local elected representatives at the county level. They have regular public meetings that you can go to and demand change, just like a city council. I'd guess other places have something similar.
Better cities and better public transit are good for you too. It means fewer cars sharing the road with you and better road conditions overall.
Other countries that have rural areas still manage to provide them with public transit. Our towns deserve better connections than they have- should be trains, but busses should be much more frequent and reliable.
Nothing will ever get better. This is America.
You're probably right, but I'm going to be damned if I don't try. One day, sooner than I want to believe, my kids, and lots of others, will inherit the world I've helped to make.
A better world is possible.
But not with the United States.
