Congratulations, republicans, you’re killing your own small towns by being insufferable and refusing to allow any culture to exist then you wonder why your kids refuse to move back to the area…

Oh they want culture to exist, but it’s a monoculture and it’s their own. Of course we all know what happens to monocultures. Or at least anybody knows anything about farming does.

Council member Christy Martinez-Garcia, who represents the north side of Lubbock where the art walk takes place, looked puzzled when the discussion started. She later said she was blindsided by it.

“I don’t think anybody was prepared for this,” Martinez-Garcia told The Texas Tribune. “More people attend First Friday than vote.”

Martinez-Garcia described the trail as a hugely successful event that attracts about 20,000 people monthly. She said it’s in the city’s best interest to be inclusive.

“We need to make it open for anybody and everybody, I’m straight but I don’t hate,” Martinez-Garcia told her fellow council members. “I appreciate your input, but it’s so important that we don’t pick who we are representing.”

Luddites in Lubbock.

meeeeetch ,

The Luddites had a point about the ‘de-skilling’ of work and the alienation of labor. And they regularly cross-dressed.

These people are just obsessed with enforcing misery.

Drusas ,

The Luddites weren't wrong. Their name has been badly misused. They were skilled professionals who were concerned that they would no longer have work as a result of the industrial revolution. They were largely right in that assessment. That doesn't mean you should try to hold up societal/technological progress like they did, but their concerns were valid. They weren't just afraid of technology as they are generally portrayed.

Technology has not resulted in reductions in employment.

Sure but sometimes individuals do lose their jobs so it would have been ethical to stop technological progress back in the 1800’s

ABCDE ,

It would not have been ethical with increasing populations and no means to scale up effectively to meet their needs. Individuals, sure, but not overall; technology has replaced people in specific situations, people who then went on to get employment in other areas.

Drusas ,

You completely missed the point.

ABCDE ,

Please highlight it for me.

Depends on the field. Ain’t no milk man or ice box delivery anymore.

Those aren’t skills. Driving a truck is a skill, and there’s no shortage of demand for truck drivers today.

ABCDE ,

Depends on the country, but that was not my point. Overall employment has not suffered at the hands of technology; it improved efficiency, yes, and resulted in some occupations needing fewer (or no) people, however people found work in other areas.
