Then you'd have to organize for a future where it can be defeated and moved on from, and in the nearer term, it's essential to organize against the underlying causes of it to avoid a different future where we all die with no dignity
The lack of nostr users talking about the pandemic doesn't help. I've even tried reaching out to pandemic-aware people on X and told them they should be on nostr where exchange of information isn't suppressed. It's surprisingly insanely hard for people to go alone taking even 1 or 2 steps down the road less traveled.

I listened pretty carefully I just could not figure out wtf they were saying back then despite trying my best
Mine is the worst story so I'm not entering it
At least I have bitcoin
Afterthought for anyone who might ever find this info useful: an ice maker can run on a small solar panel (much more easily than a fridge or AC), so supplying students with ice makers closer to their homes, and coolers to carry the ice, might be a really useful thing to do with a fundraiser for dealing with the heat.
It might be too late. We must try hard in the time we have.
Do they at least have access to cold water and/or ice? If not, it's much cheaper to have enough fridges and/or freezers and/or ice makers to keep every student supplied with cold water, ice, cold wet towels, etc. The money it takes to give half the school ACs could give the entire school cold water and ice with money left over to fix the solar panels. The electricity from the solar panels is also more well-used this way because the heat pump compressors are basically focusing on using (thermally dense) water and ice to remove heat straight from the human body instead of (thermally weak) air to remove heat from entire rooms.
It's important to position these things well though. They're not so useful if they're in a closed room with the students, they need to be where the heat can get away from the students. ACs are made to have this figured out for you, just put in window and heat gets pumped out the window. Sufficient AC is also more comfortable, but simply not affordable for as many people.
Honestly confused what you mean by this. If there's some island where the local authorities only allow engineless sailboats, that sounds too good to be true
Portland Maine is probably the best city
Best town and region would be more difficult to narrow down since there are way more towns and regions
I would just use the revenue from the loans to make the bank appear more valuable while I dump as much freshly-printed money as I can into bitcoin
The bank would fire me, but they don't fire bankers who think like me until the bitcoin part and then dump the money into bombing Gaza instead
The exciting thing about this election is that we're either going to get the first woman president (in a long line of war criminals) or a big non-uniparty voter turnout (in anger at war criminals)
Both options do nothing to make the world a better place, except be entertaining, which is enough to get excited about.
What really matters about this Presidential race is basically the same thing as what matters about anything else right now: it could all drive people to nostr. That's the state of the world in this early phase of nostr growth
Someone tell the X users voting for Jill Stein that they should strengthen their vote's attempt to signal resistance by bringing people to nostr, where nobody is banned and it's possible to organize against the uniparty state.
Seriously, this is a good opportunity for #nostr outreach. I've been telling people this over there.
They'll take it as an annoying attempt to detract from their swell of support on X, so be ready to engage on other topics too, we don't want to look like spammers.
I thought you meant the Presidential debate until I clicked and saw what you were replying to
What if I would rather follow someone who's here for the wrong reasons?
To build mine one npub at a time, I would need to know Digit's npub. I don't even know if she has one. I'll stick with not following anyone on here for now
