Life Begins At 40: the board game. “Survive until you’re 40. Then it’s fun all the way in this exciting board game”
Also, no need to read when you can just play the board game.
I did yoga & Pilates in my late 20s but quit because “it didn’t seem to be doing anything.” Years later I started having back issues & I’ll be damned but those stupid little stretching routines actually do preventative wonders when you stick to them.
It’s easier to stay limber/social/connected/lucid/contented than to try to regain it, but the things which used to happen on their own will require deliberate, ongoing investment. Thus, better to make a plan and follow through before you realize you need it.
We spend hundreds of billions of dollars on Defense, surely we’ve deployed dozens of Darwins from SeaQuest, right?

Frank Grimes in the Simpsons saying, "What's this? 'Extremely high voltage.' Well, I don't need safety gloves, because I'm Homer Simpso--" then grabbing the wires and being electrocuted to death.
"What's this? 'Extremely vital petrochemical shipping lane.' Well, I don't need to keep that open, because I'm Donald Tru--"
The Frank Grimes character from The Simpsons exasperated at how Homer continues to get away with everything despite all logic & reason.

We’ve replaced all soccer leagues’ Gatorade with the Fear Toxin from the Batman comics, let’s see if anyone notices.
Girls’ Schools obviously have higher targeting priority.

City could afford all the police OT the lakes people want if it charged the lakes people a fee to redact their info. Go into surplus if it charged them a fee if they want to run for City Council in a Ward they don’t live in.
Looking forward to finding out together.
“Unthinkable” in that I was too stupid to have thought of it.
Trump people are temperamentally incapable of publicly admitting any limits to their Will To Power. Journo love to ask them something like, “But surely you would stop short of ending all life on earth, right?” and then getting shocked when they respond with, “Of course we have the balls to that!”
I would advocate DOGE-style mass firings, but if we were to say shut down Fort Bragg in one stroke we would create a violent insurgency in the South precisely the same way that de-Ba'athification produced in Iraq’s Sunni triangle.
I can only assume the street sweepers have a large annual overtime budget which they’ve somehow blown in January?
US will think they can keep the war going by declaring an Israeli-style evacuation zone from Bandar-e-Lengeh to Jask, extending 50 miles inland, occupying that strip with troops to enforce it while bombing anything that moves hoping to prevent missile strikes on Hormuz ship traffic.

The most effective anti-imperialist acts not easily rolled back are to dismantle the infrastructure. Go full pétroleuse on the base archipelago. Eg give Diego Garcia to Mauritius so it can’t be used as a bomber base. Scrap the carriers so they don’t exist to do gunboat diplomacy even if they want to
An army of competent middle-managers & grants review specialists with no strategic sense or imagination much less capital-P Political vision.
Successive Dem admins proudly staffed their DoD & NatSec staff with literal Republicans. The “left” position was RTP. State Dept systematically denigrated & left-libs there & in NGOs stuck with ”capacity-building busy boxes which at best deliver systemically-irrelevant charity.
There’s no money for non-blob FP jobs so no bench of anti-Imperialist practitioners. You either go undercover in a Blob workfare shop &slowly assimilate or get 1 of 6 prof jobs for FP Marxists writing critically-acclaimed books which only get cited after the debacle you warned about already occurred
