  • Post 2020 and the Covid19 epidemic the states couldn’t decide on how to isolate, lock-down, and re-open. So they all split into “regional state medical associations” or something like that i don’t remember exactly. This was not state secession or ‘semi-autonomous region’ recognition etc. But it was a clear and recent example how material situations can suddenly motivate or force a re-organization on national institutional scales. To spring-board off this we can theorize; if there was another “disagreement” between states on how to react to a new situation (medical or other) that they would make similar moves, such as re-organizing into state coalitions, or perhaps smaller break-away regions. Lead by whoever is sitting leadership at the time.





















  • so-true I, a uniquely gifted westerner has invented a totally new and better, improved, more efficient version of existing tech.

    doomer No, thats been tried you are just complicating a working system, making it shittier, and selling a bullshit grifter solution. Or just doing it for hype and clout. Failing upward by being a yes-man for legacy tech capital.

    so-true No its better now. Bazinga!

    Its when westoids act like they are inventing a new thing, or improving upon something, but its really just more enshitification, repackaging fragments of existing tech. Or worse; a more polluting, wasteful or dangerous “invention” that is popular purely for the ideology and decorum. Particularly of US west coast tech-company devotees. Absolutely convincing themselves that they’ll eventually build a eco zero-carbon version of todays infrastructure but will do so by mining more rare minerals and consuming more oil to get to that speculative destination. Bazinga.







  • This ties in well with my post “they grow grass fields just for the tax status and maintenance fees”. Critical of the vast hayfields that do more to protect dynastic monopoly land ownership in the western US than produce anything useful.

    Also that as the US dollar collapses, the only real remaining currency is social status as determined by ones job title and who they subordinate. In a word where everyone in partially homeless and money is worthless, only property owners and managers have status that is traded among themselves. They just have to pay people in tenuous promises and token payments to get the desperate masses to labor under them. Where picking a job is less about who pays more, but who exploits you in the least tedious and degrading way.
