Nature shouldn't be polluted,
Food shouldn't be poison,
And sociopaths shouldn't be in charge!

Collectively we need to create a better climate instead of just constantly shaming and pissing all over the current unfavorable climate.....and I'm not talking weather here!

[Marie Frank @MarieFrank2]

It's not just Capitalism that assholes are afraid of collapsing...it's all the parasitic rackets attached to our current system that prevents real progress!

[Marie Frank @MarieFrank2]

Mainstream media narratives suck...made even worse by the constant repetition of their useless crap!

Social media is a daily reminder of everything we're getting wrong!!!!!!!

[Marie Frank @MarieFrank2]

The true challenge with any system, however it's labeled, is to prevent it from becoming so corrupted that it again becomes a total racket for the greedy!!!!!!!!

[Marie Frank @MarieFrank2]

Does it sound less daunting 2say we must make upgrades to our system instead of declaring the only way out is to end capitalism? I know these are two different camps, but if we created enough upgrades, couldn't we make the current crap unrecognizable hence satisfying both camps?

The shape of your pollinator garden matters more than its size.

Most native bees have small foraging ranges. Peer-reviewed research on solitary bees found female flight distances of just 73 to 121 meters from the nest. A small bee born in your neighbor's yard might not reliably reach a flower patch in the middle of your yard if there's a length of mowed grass between them.

What works is linear pollinator habitat. A strip along a fence line, a corridor along the driveway, or a narrow band of natives running the full length of the property is best.

A 2018 study in the journal Ecography found that the length of linear semi-natural habitat was the single strongest predictor of wild bee species richness and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. Bees track edges.

A 2-foot-wide strip running 50 feet does more ecological work than a 10x10 island in the middle of the lawn. The strip gives pollinators a route to follow, something that guides their movement across the landscape.

The effect multiplies when your neighbors do the same. A strip along your fence meets a strip along theirs, and so on.

The largest ICE detention center made over $250 million last year. 

Billionaires have quite literally turned human suffering into a business.

I'm a grizzly.

They just decided one acre is all I need.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.

The science said 2,500 acres minimum.

They changed it to one.

No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.

And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.

A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."

Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.

Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

There is a new scam going on in this home inspection industry

- Large corporations are buying up all the small home inspection companies
- They don’t care about making money off inspecting homes, they want the data

Why? This is where it gets borderline criminal

Home inspections are supposed to be confidential, but what they’re doing is buying all the companies to own the data

Then they are going to sell that data to insurance companies and lenders

Now with this new information the insurance company finds out, they're going to start charging you $3,000 (or whatever) extra a year to insure that house

Here’s what I’ve found

Large corporations and private equity firms are aggressively consolidating the home inspection industry primarily by buying inspection software platforms like Spectora, HomeGauge and larger inspection companies

A home inspection report contains highly detailed property specific information like roof age and condition, electrical and plumbing issues, foundation problems, HVAC status, environmental hazards

This is extremely valuable for:

- Insurance companies (risk assessment and underwriting).
- Lenders (property valuation and loan risk).
- Home warranty providers, contractors, and data brokers

Home inspections are supposed to be confidential between the buyer, inspector, and sometimes the real estate parties.

However, many inspection software companies’ terms of service allow data aggregation and sharing

That’s the loophole they found. That’s the scam
