All of the above? I think A is probably the easiest to do and I would prefer that yeah.

Just a comment, I like these posts but I would read them more if they were far more concise.

Ugh beautifully said but it’s so depressing. I miss the days of intense friendship, and I never even lived them.

The maker of that list has terrible taste IMO. And the pictures are often terrible. What a bad article.

Yeah this is basically my take. Also the fact that doomsday predictions are always extremely common and 99% of them don’t pan out!
Remember the Population Bomb? All sorts of other doom predictions?
And ironically the panic over things often caused other problems.

Yeah I definitely worry that the goals of saving money and building nice stuff do conflict. We just don’t know how to build well anymore it seems.

I’m very curious what the executive order for beautiful buildings will do. More specifically, the Promoting Beautiful Federal and Civic Architecture order.
The order is super vague, the meat being:
Federal public buildings should be visually identifiable as civic buildings and respect regional, traditional, and classical architectural heritage in order to uplift and beautify public spaces and ennoble the United States and our system of self-government. Such recommendations shall consider appropriate revisions to the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture and procedures for incorporating community input into Federal building design selections.
What do you think will practically change from this, if anything? Back to baroque? Neo-classical Roman columns??
What would your personal favorite style be?

We" (or rather the US) can fight a war without clothes
Somehow I think naked soldiers on the front will have pretty bad optics.

Do you think most of his constituents want him to not engage in this behavior?

I do think nuance in pardons was the smart move but... after Biden's last second pardons I kind of don't blame him. The blatant abuse of the pardon that JUST happened a few days ago almost demands a response. It's sad but true.
This is one of the biggest problems with the modern government, IMO. It effectively takes a huge share of people out of participation in the market, leading to horrible incentives.
