I’ve got some of this lot on my LinkedIn, of all places, all hoping to one day stop being openforwork by non-stop posting conspiracy theories where potential employers can see it. Their latest thing is that they saw The Hunger Games and decided that 15 minute cities means walled-off districts rather than simply not having to drive everywhere to get what you need.

Some of the shit I've read about 15 minute cities makes me really wonder how people take those nuts at all seriously ever again.

This is how it works now. Anything suggested to make the system a little bit better will piled on by arguments that make no sense, and don't even seem to be attacking the actual idea.

The bad part is that otherwise sensible people allow it because it's "rUdE" to say that loudly proclaiming that your neighborhood will be walled off forever is patently stupid.

The worse part is those same otherwise sensible people have zero qualm having a damned cow on you if you mention increasing public transit or Healthcare and all of a sudden don't mind at all saying an idea is fucking stupid. 🤷

Damn I forgot that was the flavor for a month before they moved over into Drag Queens are the real problem with the world today...

At least the new flavor brought us #NotADragQueen.

10/10 love using it at every possible moment, which is basically all moments since sexual assault is a GOP prerequisite.
