Poor little Steven found himself attracted to women. It was so difficult to tell his parents who just didn't understand. They eventually sent him to a correctional camp.

Steven needs to know it's okay to be straight. He isn't alone in the struggle and there is a support network should he need it.

I mean; some of my best friends are straight and they are fine people.

Is this still true? Damn shame if so

Got any good examples of this?

I do know that between 1950 and 2000 poverty and starvation dropped like a stone. I havent been watching closely enough to tell for the past couple decades. I don't mean to sound cynical, but it can be hard to tell what's slavery and what's improvement of living standards through the media and on such short timescales

I know theyre installing a ton of solar/wind. Superbundance could happen there and that could be great. I got my fingers crossed.

How's agriculture doing?

I think they're very well positioned with electric cars and are going to take marketshare from everyone else in that industry.

I hope they quit killing the sea and bossing around their neighbors

Their effots in Africa are probably going to benefit them greatly. I hope they arent doing to Africa whatthre US did with South America in early/mid 20th century... with the saddling of unpayable debts, extracting resources and installing viscious dictators

I read recently OPECy folks are openly conspiring to flood Africas market with cheap and shitty fossil fuel power plants and cars to expand the oil market. It'd be rad someone flooded it with cheaper and better electric cars/heatpumps and renewable power. I wish the US/Europe would

This was one of my first thoughts on this too. Reminds me a bit of those western millennial/GenZ articles that are blown way out of proportion

Regardless I hope the governmental response is steering towards a bright solarpunk future of abundance and a healthy ecosystem to regain relevance for the next generation. Further encroachment of authoritarianism to maintain power and further alienate their smart kids doesn't help anyone long-term

I hope the same for all governments, really
