What I do know is that the questions are only going to become more pressing as marginalized and "redundant" populations interface with the predicted extreme weather/rising sea levels, food insecurity, ecological crisis, etc. You're right, simply imposing (or eliminating) building codes isn't going amount to much.

I'm saying that the poor can't afford to build to 9.0 standards. Is that contentious? What to do about it? I don't know. I guess eliminating poverty from the world would be a big step in that direction. How do you propose we do that? Are these questions even worth asking anymore? Are we so resigned to global apartheid that we're only tasked with figuring out how either lower our standards to accommodate it or protect ourselves from being touched by it? I don't know.

Are you suggesting that building and safety standards need to be lowered to accommodate for the poor or finding ways to mitigate those conditions?

Of the demographic you're describing, how many are renters?

There's a Supermoon advisory.

Some are people are just more earthquake-proof than others...

What Would Bobby Jindal Do?

No. But I might stay out of areas of considerable avy danger those days just in case.

Sounds as much like red-diaper baby rebellion to me.

"Bi-winning", maybe.

Man, that video doesn't even start until 0:20!

All his bullshit jumped the shark a few years ago. As we're seeing in Wisconsin, it's all power/no persuasion now.

Hedo Rick is lightyears cooler than Fairweather ever was.

America is becoming the rigid, class-bound Europe its immigrants sought to escape more and more every day. Economic liberalism's ultimate irony.

Hey, that's life. Fairer for some than others.

Mystery solved. You should take this show on the road.

Yes, learn ye well, follow my example and alas, you may end up...posting in Spray.

Oh, I didn't say it wasn't impressive, I just don't think it's going to be very inspiring to unemployed 50 year olds with similar levels of education (much less those without) now waiting for their "big break".

Callista might be decent, but she's definitely not human. I checked.

Don't worry, the Citizens United ruling is going to level the campaign-finance playing field so that poor individuals and groups that need services can compete against anti-tax corporations and billionaires to "make their voices heard".

Your post-double major in Biochemistry and History/minor in Chemistry story is truly inspiring!

At first I thought '12 was going to be a ho-hum affair. No more. Step aside Cindy McCain, there's a new Borg Queen in town! RUN NEWT, RUN!!!

Welcome (back) to the Applebee's Economy!

Has POTUS weighed in on DHMO?
