I'd say the outcome is known: no one is going to have a good time.
I've lived in Boulder and can say definitively that the neighbors are narcs.
When you work with christian fanatics (i.e., anywhere in the US) in an office that "respects religious diversity," bullshit cultural norms are enforced.
I work out of an office within sight of a megachurch- and spend as much time in the field as possible.
"Get Off Your Damn Phone." "Slow The Fuck Down."
Like all the other official signs? They look official too.
One of the signs said "Slow The Fuck Down."
You're completely missing the point of the trolley problem:
Do you take an action that causes a direct harm, even if it's in service to reducing harm?
It's a valid moral stance to decide you will not personally perform a harmful action. That's not walking away from the trolley, that's refusing to throw the switch.
Your framing of the situation is false. Voting for Harris is throwing the switch and dooming Palestinians. Voting third party/not voting is not throwing the switch: you are not condoning the system that runs people over, you are not taking an action that directly harms people.
To be clear, throwong the switch is also a valid moral stance.
Personally, I believe voting for Harris prolongs our faulty political system. I voted for Kerry, then Obama (first willingly, then let myself be guilted into it). The Democrats have only gotten worse with time, and I won't vote for a party that represents me less with time instead of more.
As this is relevant to my job, here's the score:
This process has been coming for a few years now.
Some old houses had small sections of their "service line"- the pipe between the main and the internal plumbing of the house - made of lead. The amount of lead that leaches into the water depends on the chemistry (the Langelier Index) and the contact time. There is currently a requirement for regular testing to see if water that sits for 8+ hours leaches enough lead (& copper) to be dangerous if someone drinks it for 20 years.
The difficulty of replacement is that records from before the 60s are spotty and may not note the material of the line. This will require potholing in front of every house to try to determine the material.
My town was already planning this out, and was starting to get prices from contractors.
It can be done in a non-shitty way. Most people don't, so if you want all the ranchers against the wall, I get it.
Look up AMP grazing if you're interested.
Yeah, people here don't have to sound out our words when we read.
It's projection. The US tried to make one, along with bombs that turn everyone gay and hallucinogenic mind control. We are fucking stupid.
