I think we need to start talking global treaties where we just not produce for a minute. Like strategic factory shut downs that let us breath some fresh air.

Ai isn't the only one polluting for no reason. No layoff. Just really nice time off to move about the world. Fuck ai for sure. Data centers are not needed when it's only other AI bots talking to eachother. Build some housing and crisis help centers for fucks sake.

Build some housing and crisis help centers for fucks sake.

Cities, counties, states and the federal government could all do that right now, but seems taxpayers aren't willing to vote for it.

When Mamdani sat down at his desk, and moved the giant pile of paperwork that every other mayor ignored, he found a button that said "Something Good." He pushed it, and something good happened. So he pushed it again. And again. And he kept pushing it.

That button was always there, and any mayor before him could have pushed it, but they didn't. That's all they had to do, and they just didn't do it.

Furthermore, that button is on the desk of every politician, and most of them never push it either.

We need to make them ALL start pushing that button.
