That's really interesting that they don't take political stances, yet why was it such a necessity for them to go out of their way and deliver their food to IOF troops and support their work? That must have been okayed by corporate because it was on a ton of media outlets. Seems pretty political to me.

Excellent rabbit hole of posts! Thank you, friend!
Lol "...they have to list their address as 'Low Earth Orbit'"
When you get around to HZD, the DLC Frozen Wilds and Horizon: Forbidden West are highly recommended. I'm halfway through the second and it's so amazing.
They should have just taken the chance to detain him there, but no one seems to care because there's too much powerful support for genocide in the West.
Why do I feel like this is another manifestation of the "dominion over all" mentality? This seems to be a core value for those that practice Christianity and that hold misogynistic ideals. It's just such a slippery slope to Authoritarian/Christian Nationalism from there.

I'm not surprised Cornell is taking this stance and employing this hasty methodology. They have a reputation for being a major business that benefits from massive money flow. It stands to reason that they care more about money than supporting students... Unless they have lots of money.
I love the point made about grassroots movements already doing good work for the community, and the entities controlling public land won't allow tax payers to allocate a portion of public lands for planting. There should be a checklist of approved stuff you can plant, managed by the municipality, and that checklist should be available in multiple languages. I understand you shouldn't just be able to plant whatever (if not food, then no non-native/invasive species), and there shouldn't be harmful pesticide use to some extent, but given the amount of people living in food apartheids with no access to fresh produce, it seems like the least effort, humane thing to allow.
Thank you for saying this. If you're not in a swing state, it feels like a waste to donate (although I wouldn't donate to her campaign anyways because of her policies). I don't support the duopoly and would prefer to see someone that needs the money actually receive it.
The industry's lobby is so pervasive that any regulation will be fought, no matter how small. I don't know what it's going to take to face the numerous harms that we have to address when it comes to cars and driving, but if the industry and regulators won't care about human health and environmental harms, it's just going to keep being bad.
Solidary with the workers! No scabs allowed!
