    My pedestrian tastes see Edouard Vuillard Breakfast at Villerville 1910; as a mirage of color and grandeur with nothing to do with breakfast.
    But then…what do I know?

    The Russian oligarthes have nothing to be ashamed if the USA oliggarthes can hold their head high while the population of street people keeps increasing even faster.

    China has been reducing the number of poor people. China is bad for doing that.

    BREXIT

    They had their chance!

    The remainers could have accepted the results of the referendum and worked to try and bring about the ‘least worst outcome’ : EEA/EFTA – the ‘Norway solution’.

    The EU could have worked towards a fair agreement, instead of which they foisted a very one sided deal on the compliant Teresa May. They even released a video where the EU claimed it would make the UK an EU ‘colony’!

    Every group involved has been totally unwilling to compromise so they deserve what they get. Even now the Liberal Democrats would prefer a no-deal BREXIT than work with the Labour party under Corbyn!

    It is interesting that the poll quoted suggested 34% supported a no-deal BREXIT, but another recent poll had 54% supporting October 31st BREXIT by any means. An extremely wide gap.

    It needs to come to an end, even if it is ‘No Deal’. At least then everyone can start to adapt to the new environment.

    Sobbing and tears for beautiful Mariam. I don’t care if it is balanced or not. Just so very very sad.

    #49246

    Carol,

    It IS balanced. Anything else is not. And that means not much is.

    The Thais clung on to Mariam because they anthropomorphized her (why do we need such big words for the simplest things?), because she at 4 months old clung on to her human saviors and they could see things that looked or appeared -almost- human, but of course the tragedy runs much wider and deeper. And not a soul does anything to halt that tragedy.

    Buying a cotton bag to put the groceries in at the store, that are wrapped in plastic, ain’t going to do it.

    We are the ultimate tragic species, I’ve said it 1000 times. We can see ourselves do it, but we can’t stop ourselves from doing it anyway.

    We will have alot of heart- breaking good-byes to say.

    #49248

    It’s not a future thing, we have those heartbreaking goodbyes today, or we should, but our media and scientists are careful about how they break it to us, because they know we would turn our backs on them if they bring it too truthfully. Our fault as much as theirs.

    But just a few days ago I posted that, IIRC, 53% or all forest wildlife was eroded just since 1980. And there are a million other signs like that, and we all pretend the “main event” is at some point that lies ahead.

    The main event is now. It’s been going on for at least decades.

    What to do
    Plant trees. add solar panels. buy local supplied food and products. The more people do the right thing the we can have have some altho small impact on the destruction. but the thing is these things are also a good investment we are happier, safer and wealthier for doing these thing. it is a win win

    Our solar panels since april have supplied 5mwh they are paying way way way better than government bonds and are a safer investment.

    Local grass fed beef, free range eggs, fresh caught fish and organically raise vegetables are changing the way we shop and eat. Grains are hard to find we still buy grains for the supermarket but we buy local fruit in season grow some of our own and have started to turn our yard into a forest garden.

    a few more things stop using roundup and weed and feed on your yard and garden and farm. Stop buying from those that do. Factory meat feedlots use a variety of feeds that cause increased gas for cows grass fed cows make less methane make the switch to local grass fed humanely raised and killed animals and it does make a difference.

    The first thing to do is stop voting for this idiot. I started with this but my wife talked me into starting with the important things that you can do now.

    All good things. I fear we are past a point of no return but I am no expert. I do many of these things simply as you said because it feels good and that is the relationship I wish to have with the world.
