We had a reconstruction program as well as military governors in a handful of States down there after the Civil War, grants was pretty checked out and his administration was super corrupt, and his successor in the 1876 election, Hayes lost. They had those military Governors send competing slates of electors saying they won and there is a big brewhaha and it was decided they would allow the Republicans to steal that election with Hayes as president for ending reconstruction.

Our judiciary will not cross big biz unless pressured to do so by the party.

We need to switch over to open source phones. There is no reason we need to rely on these big companies that governments and Powerful interests all have their hooks into.

After everything that has happened in the past 2 years, that entire region should entirely boycott Samsung until they’re clear all Israeli spyware is cleared out of phones. The Middle East is a fairly large Market and everything Samsung should be forbidden entry by leaders of those countries until this is fixed.

My ip got banned despite never editing wikipedia, never even reading the talk.

Financial interests pay people to edit.

Mysteriously my ip is banned from editing when I tried to view talk on a suspect edit, even though I have never once edited a page or even accessed that part by this ip. None on former ip’s either.

Ip is on some shady brazillian blacklist so maybe that is it idk, everyone just trusting shady internet players.

Gorilla mask. Or one of those 6 foot tall bunny costumes. Or uncle sam ala carnivals a hundred years back.

Just be sure to build walls even if temporary after you get down a ways because cave ins are deadly, in construction there are more deaths from trenches than anything else.

People that get buried like up to their chest or neck can seem fine and get dug out but as soon as they get dug out they die within like a minute and it is irreversible there’s no way to stop it you’re capillaries get like crushed from the weight.

I am not sure, I really do not have any pine resin to speak of and not sure if it would help what I have going on here anyway. But I was thinking it bunch of sticks over the trench and then smaller sticks over top and then a layer of maybe white pine needles and then saw dust on top of there, and then it would be nice to have some sort of flat surface on there that is what is giving me pause. But I also have to build doors on the entrances I’m running out of time here.

Looking to getting takkonite or something, the only type of explosive you might be able to get fairly easily, and save yourself the trouble and use that to excavate as much as possible. I did mine all by hand and it is exponentially harder the deeper you go. A lot of the dirt I have to move three times. I wish I could show you some pictures I’m actually working on one right now.

I am building one now, wish I could attach pictures to show you, but I have sort of two stories, 12 ft by 18 ft of a sheet metal roof, no walls yet, then a sort of trench that goes maybe 12 ft at 6 to 9 ft deep and then another length of steps up and down sort of each way.

Used pieces of wood I screwed together and such on the walls of the cellar to keep it from caving in which is actually what I am doing right now. I am using mine to grow Gourmet mushrooms in the winter, after I seal it up it will stay above freezing. Not sure how I will seal it though for now I just have logs placed over the Dugout parts. I could throw a shitload of leaves on top but I am worried that would just rot and I do not want rot around my mushroom and want to stay away from plastic although for this year I think I will wrap the walls in plastic sheeting.

But I may just use Sawdust to insulate the roof but I still need something to put before and after that.

I just joined but lemmy does not seem to have a running Karma total attached to each user right? Or is that just this instance that does not have that?

The best time to switch away from youtube was several years back, after the growth phase of our few remaining tech players ended and maximizing revenue started.

The next best time is now. They will only get worse, and bow to powerful interests even more. Them demanding we prove age by providing commercially valuable info they will keep no matter what they say, should be the last straw for all of us.

Find smaller competitors, youtube and google are lost causes we need to quit both.

From my end I cannot always use private vendors without paying more and it taking longer.

That said I bet I have bought less from them in my lifetime than you have.

Help fix the post office then tell me to totally drop them.

Exactly, and the post office is further hobbled so amazon is often cheaper and quicker on shipping. 7 days for a package in the post now, from 1200 miles away inside country, from an independant seller for me last two times.

Vendor said that is for all of their clients. It was 2-3 days anywhere in country for lifetimes and since 2020 gone up and up and I seem to be the only one furious about it. 7 fucking days. Amazon sent something in 4 with free shipping on order.

I need it and or venmo, owned by the same parasitical company, for work for client payments.

I am in a little place on land in nowhere and need to use amazon for some stuff. Big box stores are 40 plus miles away and they may be overpriced if they even have it.

I try to order direct but for some stuff I need amazon still. As to google I hope to change phone to open source but idk how yet.

He did not support abolition until well into the civil war look it up.

He removed missouri’s general or whatever keeping them from joining confeds for endorsing the idea in fact.

Regardless that same party abandoned the former slaves to steal an election after rampant corruption.

So any example of the civil war era is also disallowed by your logic. It was not perfect so therefore your example can be discredited.

Lincoln did not even want emancipation at first, and grant was corrupt and let his admin loot the government, then abandoned reconstruction to jim crow in a deal to get to keep the 1876 election they stole from tillman for hayes.

That republican party? Hardly.

Yet you do not indulge my question, give me one example that cannot be dismissed with your logic dismissing the new deal?
