If you were lost in Manhattan, chances are fairly good that you could walk to shelter before succumbing to the elements. And the Atacama is just about all dry and cold every day of the year.
With proper attire and equipment one can survive 48 hours on the Moon. I meant alone, without basic camping equipment or water. Like walking away from a failed aircraft. There's a couple places where your survival-fu absolutely will not help. Antarctica, Atacama, Namibia, are the first three that come to my mind when I contemplate these things. If the zero degree-Celsius thing every night of the year doesn't bother you, the wind and relative (lack of) humidity would dessicate you very soon. I pulled 48 hours outta my ass, but I'll stand by it as a fair guess. I got a nice piece of woods by the coast in B.C., a little south of where the Browns outnumber the Kermodes, I'm not so ashamed to admit I just don't feel manly enough to bother living inland.
If you were exposed in the Atacama, you would most likely be dead in less than 48 hours. TFA touches on this, but it is emphatically not a nice place to hang out. Sometimes I, too, chafe under the terms of my peonage.
The Job Creators have got our Fearless Leaders hard on the job to prevent any sort of remedy, but keep voting, as if it mattered. I'd mod you up, if I hadn't already posted, but you nailed it. (One little slice of it, anyway.) This is the unintended result of democracy, with the cheaters securely on top.
I haven't been around in years but the artists I knew weren't exactly wannabes. Or rich I once saw a friend polishing a big metal bean that looked weirdly artistic.
I don't know about this gentrification you speak of, but the air coming in through the Golden Gate is pretty damn sweet, if you're not downwind of the sewage treatment plant or some derelict bum. You talking about Rockridge or something? All of the wealthy areas I can think of have always been wealthy. Seriously wealthy in some of my favorite places.
Considering the side effects that people are okay with these days, a whole lot of people will have to die pretty horribly to keep this from dominating the market.
I've been raising crops of dirt for about twenty years, and the complexity of the system is nearly beyond ken. Amazing stuff; I am certain that the true nature of our stomach flora is far from understood by most of these experts.
They just keep adding fresh. They are near the ocean, not infinite, but they can keep topping it up for as long as they can find new heroes to run the hose.
My personal experience dealing with psychotics is that this is surprisingly effective. Take the words right out of their mouth, and the delusional motherfuckers take it at face value, like I finally saw the light. It can't hurt.
One lousy night of extra-judicial service by a half dozen L.A. County Sheriff's Deputies, and I caved. A rather craven, boot-licking moment that I am not too proud of. I didn't get the Rodney King-style beatdown that was scheduled for that morning's lull in business, but I was convinced to plead guilty to a crime that did not occur, so as to avoid the guaranteed five-year sentence in the State Penitentiary. I'd suggest shuffling, shackled, down a mile of cement corridor, in paper slippers, before criticizing this guy.
If you overshare, then every script-kiddie on the planet will be able to hack your life. No law available to our Fearless Leaders can prevent abuse of the system by our National Security Industry. Forget about any sort of reigning in of the God-given Rights of our Owners. Vote as if it mattered. Ha-Haa!
Many agree with me. I believe folks should leave the tundra and such for the birds and their cohort. If you choose to defy nature and live there that's your mistake to make, but don't destroy my planet with your drainage and poisonings. Probably bringing back the bird population of 200 years ago would not reduce the insect population in Northern Ontario by a noticeable amount (thats why the birds bother to visit in the first place), but I think in places that are actually suitable for humans you can observe the patterns. I believe that I have observed an apparent correlation of the cycles in my location, I could be mistaken. We happen to own a pretty uninhabitable bit of forest in British Columbia, but over the ridge and a half kilometer away it is an entirely different story, airflow matters. I will not be doing anything to upset my local Salamanders or Salmon, It's their home. If we harvest a stem or two of the Thuja plicata straight up by helicopter, I believe we can pay our taxes without killing a significant number of the locals. Ambitions contained to avoid evil.
Sorry, I am a contrarian. I realize my personal observations don't correlate with that of others, but this year has been like some nasty trip to the jungle here. I think maybe something horrible happened on the migratory path this year, we've watched generations return to nest for years, then this year nobody came, coinciding with the mysterious disappearance of our bats this last year, and the long, rainy spring. It should equalize in a few years, unless the swallows stay gone. It could be the beginning of something completely different...
Probably because you killed off your bats and birds. I lived in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties in the 70s but I recommend moving out of the Malarial regions of the state. I have personally noted a direct correlation between the de-population of the bat-house on the barn and a HUGE increase in mosquitoes on the farm this year in southern Oregon. We had one Purple Marten sighting and only one Tree Swallow nest (actually, next farm over) this year. Not good.

...or could just mean that you can't abide some asshole exploiting your fellow man, and you have the courage to stay and fight.
Just pick some guys up at the Lowe's parking lot.

In extremis we can RTFA?

Rites of Spring FTW!

Some of us have a disregard for "Clean Coal" as well.

You're comparing US median income with Finnish average income, and the units aren't precisely correlated.
You must be a veteran here.

Well, at least we can still afford to defend against Brown People.
Almost nobody lives there

A subtle astroturfing is one thing, but many of the fake postings are pretty hilariously transparent. Good help is hard to find.

The "dust" coming from firing bullets in the shooting range could very well be in significant amounts.
Or not.

The forests of North America are missing some birds...
Think again.
