If you'd like to both support a middle class American on the autism spectrum and help finance my move to Pennsylvania, please buy this work or one of many others available on a variety of media. Thanks! 1/2

Fine for a room the size of a ballroom. Extreme overkill for the average size living room or den in a home.

If you disagree with what Kelly says below, I have a simple question for you.

What SHOULD be the most basic function of any government?

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 18h

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

I've given the blueprint. My plan just needs organizers. I'm just a 54 year old autistic adult. My organization skills suck.

That's largely been the business plan since the industrial revolution.

The so-called minimum lot size is currently 5000 sq ft. Let's put that in perspective. That's a 89 ft x 56 ft. Stick a 50 x 30 house on it and you have near zero side yard and small front and back yards. That size house is only going to have about 1400 sqft inside. We don't need smaller lot sizes.

Fucking bullshit! All this will do is make wealthy people even wealthier! Doubt me? Listen to Get 'Em Out By Friday by Genesis. The song was written in 1972.

What we need to do is make housing a human right; not a damn commodity! 1/2

"By reducing minimum lot sizes, builders can construct more homes on less land and increase supply and affordability for everyone. Reducing minimum lot sizes helps families achieve the American dream of homeownership."

Florida is facing a shortfall of 486,000 of homes. So let’s reduce lot sizes | Opinion

Families should be able to purchase homes that fit their individual budget and lifestyle | Opinion

This is why we must stop being wage slaves. If millions of people quit permanently, it will truly turn the tide and shape our future. Don't fear the aftermath. Take the leap of faith.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 22h

Despite huge advancements in technology & worker productivity since the 1970s, wages for American workers have remained stagnant and almost all new wealth has gone to the people on top.

Will it be any different with AI and robotics?

I don’t think so. Maybe even worse.

To answer the question.... In the architecture.

Fans of 80s pop will get it. 😊

As in ambiguitea (sic)? Kidding... Sort of.

Agreed.

Also, unless they start showing some integrity and stop thinking that their voice needs to be tuned like a piano or, at minimum, clearly label their music that uses AutoTune (live or recorded) or pitch correction, they will never feel the high achieved by the great singers of old.

The Modern Folk @themodernfolk.bandcamp.com · 1d

Today’s successful musical artists will never get the chance to make ridiculously over-budgeted late period records with fleeting technological recording trends, minimal inspiration, and awkward cover art that will be massively over-pressed and end up in cut-out bins. It’s a damn shame

I'd say this is true for Republicans currently in public service and for "ultra MAGA" folks, but @sanders.senate.gov has proven that many "regular" MAGA people can be swayed.

One can start a conversation with a simple question:

What SHOULD be the most basic function of any government?
