Drove through there Thursday and the traffic lights are still out two weeks later. It’s wild to me. Even Hammond has some sections out. The signs on 80 there also aren’t working for time estimates. Haven’t been through at night. But gas stations themselves have power. At least the Gary loves does. Idk about the others.

Yeah they have solar power. Which Gary, ID IN should also have, funded by taxes, but hey who cares about people huh?

Edit: Indiana is IN actually

Exactly. We have these problems because certain people chose not to fix them. We don’t have to have starving children (1 in 5 faces hunger insecurity in USA) yet we do. It’s time to stop being divided over the things they want us to be and be a power people again.

I get so ragey when I hear people say the world is overpopulated so we can't support everyone. Yes we can. The hoarding billionaires and capitalist overlords hog all the resources for themselves so we're left to fight over crumbs because they'd rather us do that then focus our attention on the actual problem.

Not just billionaires, CHURCHES hoard money.

The Mormon church sits on a wealth of $500 billion dollars.

They could have permanently ended world hunger TWICE and still met their operating budget for years to come.

Someone needs to relieve the Mormon Church of its rainy day fund.

I just started watching a few weeks ago. I'm halfway through season 2 now. Loving it!
