  • We were going to start mining lithium and rare earth metals, but the Trump administration reversed the approval. The Salton Sea is the skeleton in California’s closet, so turning it into anything OTHER than an agricultural runoff pit is preferable. The area is largely abandoned and highly polluted. It’s a massive artificial lake that receded while simultaneously being filled with runoff. Before it got that bad, it was treated like Lake Havasu.

    If it came from an environmentalist, it would make more sense, but because it’s Trump, it was a “fuck California”, thing. I really like the Salton Sea even though it’s stinky, so I was curious if it was going to repopulate. It’s not that bad in the south, but in the north, it’s BAD.







  • It’s always some asshole that read “The Prince” and loves Thomas Hobbes.

    This system is flawed “on paper” because they inact something they… read on paper. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. I don’t even want to call them nihilistic because nihilism implies a certain level of self awareness and possible kindness.

    I’m genuinely afraid of the amount of machiavellianism that is coming in the US. I’m terrified by the prospect of “effective” politics. It’s an undeniable future. What do you do when your adversary is also your neighbor, who won’t stop shilling for conman?

    Edit: That was a tangent. My bad.
