for me, I was motivated to make this my first post because I want to help solve the death of content issue we still have. it's gotten quite a lot of attention. I think that anywhere bigger, anything of relevance would have already been posted by the time I see it

I just saw that episode last night, it was fantastic. it's weird how star trek can make concepts that seem batshit work in a serious TV drama. like discovery, you're telling me the engineer can make the ship warp anywhere instantly by doing shrooms, but only because he GMOed himself with giant tardigrade DNA? and it's not even that silly in context because it's a gritty trauma drama?

build HSR between vancouver and toronto, and between detroit and quebec city. every few hundred miles seed a new city with government agencies and remote offices of companies. use good urban design principals so it's not just another car hell, not just because it's better but also as a selling point to get people to move there since it's qualitatively better

Uranium3006 ,
@Uranium3006@kbin.social avatar

it's not that radical, just kinda expensive up front, but you can do it in sections. connect toronto to winnipeg, buy the land, start your seed cities use the funds to do the winnipeg to calgary line (optional later extending to edmonton) and then to vancouver repeating the process. the HSR makes them functionally suburbs of the bigger pre-existing cities they connect to, and with housing prices like canada that's immediately attractive on it's own. make sure to cooperate with the USA and mexico to establish a continental standard for compatibility for HSR to prevent future issues.

seed jobs, enable population-based service jobs like teachers and restaurants move in to capture demand and provide further jobs. now you have an economy in these cities and people will start moving there for non suburb-reasons. offer tax breaks to companies to move to these new cities, and raise taxes generally on businesses to make it revenue neutral.

build 20,000 public housing units in each city to provide immediate housing and establish a starter housing stock, protect against homelessness and kickstart the construction industry there (also jobs) and then the companies you paid to do that can go on to build privately owned housing

optionally but highly recommended is to build walkable, bikable urbanist cites that are what the younger generation (older people are mush less likely to want to uproot, espically if they already own a home, so they shouldn't be the primary target audiance) is looking for, and also do green construction that fits in well with the climate of each location. these aren't required per se but you may as well. canada has the same auto dependency problems as the USA and this is a great chance to provide an alternative

you can do this in the USA too but canada has even more immigrants per capita so if someone's already moving to canada from abroad they can just choose to settle in one of the new towns for the same effort as toronto. honestly we need a fuck ton more housing in general, not just for the native born population to have a snowballs chance in hell at moving out of their parent's place and starting a family, but also there's gonna be a big global refugee crisis because of climate change being ignored for so long so those people gotta go somewhere

we need to change golf so it respects the land the course is built on, and doesn't try to make everything look like scotland. keep the green as-is but make the fairway something that doesn't use water, fits the local landscape (maybe have different solutions for different environments) and is just as playable as fairway grass. leave the out of bounds areas untouched. I think golf could serve to gain from forming itself to the terrain it's played on, rather than the other way around

How do people find good information on the internet these days?

It used to be that you would do a search on a relevant subject and get blog posts, forums posts, and maybe a couple of relevant companies offering the product or service. (And if you wanted more information on said company you could give them a call and actually talk to a real person about said service) You could even trust...

it's just like TNG and TOS but with literally no episodes that aren't straight bangers. I've seen the whole first season and some of the second and it's a hard choice between this and DS9 as best trek ever. watch the first episode and see what you think. you'll like it
