You need to figure out what land the trees get planted on. If it is private land, you should search if your area has a program to plant trees. If so, then try to assist them in getting trees planted in front yards.

If it is public land, try to identify the location and reach out to the appropriate government agency to convince them to plant trees. Again, there may be private or public programs to plant trees at little/no cost to the land owner.

I’ve had problems with insomnia in the past.

I generally find the easiest way for me to sleep is to be very physically tired.

Only in that having a certain threshold is used to determine if an account is a bot or not.

Do you think this will create a longer lasting political movement?

I liked AWOL Nations’ cover of Beds are Burning.

How do you feel about ska?

Save Ferris - Come on Eileen

The Interrupters - Bad Guy

No Doubt - It’s My Life

I agree.

Not everyone knows what you know and it sounds like you’re judging them based on the assumption that they do.

They might not be lying.

Yeah. It is possible that, in Scenario 1, the bosses were just incompetent. It is possible that either no one in the room knew the problems OP is having or they were people low in seniority who were afraid to speak up.

Yes.

At this point, I’d look for a new job. They’re looking for a reason to fire you.

People on Lemmy need to make assumptions so they can feel superior to you as they make you a straw man.

I feel like if a town is able to be rented out despite local opposition, it is more a sign that the people complaining about the closures need to get more involved in local politics.

It fits somewhat with American sunbelt cities where there is significant growth and large developers building new houses. One issue which is common across borders is that real estate was a common way for people to invest their retirement savings; wiping out a lot of the savings of people near or at retirement isn’t healthy. One issue that is more local to China is that Chinese provinces and municipalities have little ability to raise taxes, so they’ve been using development as a way to raise money; a lot of these governments have a lot of debt and few good ways to pay it back.

The problem is that a lot of Chinese elderly used housing as a storage of wealth.

A lot of them come across as Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid. They have an incomplete understanding of China and also likely have legitimate reasons to not want to live where they are.

What is eternal?

I’m not speaking to my use case, I’m speaking about the market as a whole.

You can buy an Ultra Blu-ray burner along with 100 GB discs. There are alternatives already out there on the market and it likely wouldn’t be a major jump tech wise to get up to the TB range. People used to have binders full of data, this would continue that trend. Yet no one it’s developing it, including Chinese tech companies.

I’m not doubting that there are use cases out there; I can even think of a use case for me. Yet, the market demand out there doesn’t seem to be worth it where any company wants to take that leap.

That Sony is abandoning physical media for games when it won two generations for discs based on its gaming consoles is a giant red flag.

If the world was crying out for it, a company would have developed a standard by now.

There may be a market, but it is the fraction of what it was 20 years ago.

It doesn’t have to be one big army, but it can be a big army designed to take care of the stuff that individual countries can’t. After all, it is unfair to put the financial burden to build out the expensive and necessary logistics on the large nations.
