The one thing I've learned in life is that the privileged will see every achievement of the Othered, accomplishment of the Othered, through a lens of privileged envy, seeking to destroy and mutate the equitable playing grounds that afforded such to be accomplished & achieved.

The only remedy for that is to fight for Equity and the right to life with Dignity for all, at all times, for if we don't hang together they will surely hang us separately to consolidate their privilege & power.

🚌 how it transports people and goods
🌳 how it designs buildings and grows food

We have proven solutions to do it, but we need to embrace innovation and not fear change, to make positive transformation instead of a disastrous transformation
