Emotional addiction
The never-ending attempt to fill an internal void with an external remedy.
How each external fix only brings fleeting satisfaction that constantly needs replenishment.
It's an endless pit that will never be filled externally.
Six weeks ago I told you they were coming for Big Bend. Yesterday a court cleared the way for border wall construction in the Big Bend National Park region.
Here's what makes this so enraging:
Big Bend National Park is one of the quietest stretches of the entire southern border. In FY2025, the Big Bend sector recorded just 3,096 apprehensions โ 1.3% of all crossings nationwide. Border encounters there have dropped 74% since 2023. The land is remote, rugged, and brutal. It has always been its own deterrent.
And yet โ a 30-foot steel wall is coming anyway.
What that wall will actually do: fragment critical habitat for black bears, mountain lions, and the endangered black-capped vireo. Sever one of the last wildlife corridors connecting the U.S. and Mexican Chihuahuan Desert โ an ecosystem that doesn't recognize borders.
Block the natural movement of over 450 bird species that pass through Big Bend. Flood one of the darkest night skies in North America with construction lights. Slice through 100+ miles of the Wild and Scenic Rio Grande.
To stop 1.3% of border crossings. On land that was already stopping them on its own.
The administration has now waived the Endangered Species Act, the National Park Service Organic Act, and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act โ all at once โ to make this happen. The first time in U.S. history any of that has been done inside a national park.
They awarded $4.3 billion in contracts. Steel bollards are already on the ground near Van Horn. Construction starts this summer.
Who do YOU think this wall is actually for?

@jemmm85517813@OrevaZSN Same here. And I don't use cloud, still use a paper map, still use cash, read books, have thousands of movies and documentaries on DVD, and many other old ways.
@shegal7@TomLeonard28 That's half true. Yes, they will go where they have food, shelter, and safety and that's not around people. Why do you think deer became nocturnal? Because they know mankind is dangerous. They venture around them as a last resort.
@toastiii Looks fine to me. Besides you will learn as you go, nothing beats education better than hands-on trial and error. Just remember, mistakes and corrections are part of the journey.
@FrankBr05713205 It's important for young adults to learn hands-on skills. There should be be more such classes teaching to prepare them for life, giving confidence, and independence.
@jeffreytucker Most technology advances don't cause the environmental destruction, depletion of resources, and disruption and expense to communities, as Data Centers do. You would think if they were so efficient, they could achieve what they needed with ten times more already existing ones.
@RagingBull767 Iran never had a nuclear weapon or any desire to have one and that's a known fact. They may have one now, not sure, I hear more speculation than fact, but who can blame them.
Btw, Israel stole nuclear plans and resources from the US during the JFK term, also researchable.
@OrevaZSN I don't think that's what it's about. China who has a bigger population and advanced technology and does it with 300-400 hundred. We already had 3000-4000 and could already do everything we needed. But we need more and bigger ones. Not like they wouldn't intentionally mislead us.
@SGTWipper1Each@ThrillaRilla369 Less a couple hundred years ago they grew the majority. The majority of corruption and destruction began with the industrial age.

That the path to freedom lies in breaking away from "want" and learning to live in "need".
Is your gold physical?
More gold is bought and sold on paper through financial derivatives than exists in the physical world.
Estimates suggest that the total notional value of gold on paper exceeds physical supply by anywhere from 50 to 100 times, and sometimes even more.
