jcrabapple"You really want your tax dollars going to feed poor people?!"
Yes. Take more. Take more of my money and give it to poor people. I'd rather help them eat than pay for another goddamn aircraft carrier or some shit.

There's an old (1970s?) cartoon (which I can't find right now) of an executive behind his big desk.
"You want oil?" he asks. "We own the oil wells."
"You want coal? We own the coal mines."
"You want nuclear? We own the uranium mines."
"You want solar? We own...er...um...solar doesn't work!"

"Kennedy frames the work as a rebuttal to what he calls innovationism: 'the technocratic assumption that new technologies are inherently superior,' the designer said. For him, the duo’s innovative structure proves how much can be reclaimed from so-called archaic systems when treated as models for the future."
the open world of 42When you are terribly particular about form and function, so you can't find bigger and better saddle bags...mend that shite!
I used scrap leather, silk blend thread and a spoonful of patience topped with #ThrowbackThursday values.
Thanky to ricRACK for materials and community.

Switched to tooth floss for durability, and reinforced start and end of mend.

Assoc for Scottish LiteratureFrom a crag of varnished wood
and plate-glass
we watch those almost-
wild dogs of the north
examine their territory,
tear meat and socialise…

@vicgrinberg I see! Sorry about my misunderstanding
@vicgrinberg me too but don't give up! Consider joining a Strong Towns chapter https://www.strongtowns.org/local . Be vocal to your friends and family about what an important priority it is to you (it takes a village to reverse car-brain!). And lastly, if you can, walk and bike anyway. Any trip you take without your car is a win and increases visibility of life on foot! Someone may see you and be inspired. Good luck.
