  • The US is also a prime example why simply getting rid of an ID does not actually solve any of these issues for the mentioned groups. If anything you can see more problems with voter registration and information that partially would be solved by a unified ID issued to each legal citizen.
    Or in other words: People will always find a way to exclude groups on purpose and they will always be lazy to implement new measures to include a smaller pool of people, especially if they feel including those people might not even benefit them.

    And ID is a good first step but it’s of course also not enough to reach everyone who legally can vote.

    The problem is simple: in a perfect society we wouldn’t increase flat prices simply so a landlord can make even more profit. There is no actual, logical reason why the flat should cost 5x as much, only made up ones that basically say “but I wanna!”. There’s no actual 5x increase in costs for the landlord, they pocket most of that additional rent.
    Living space isn’t something you should be able to profit this heavily from in a functioning society, as it’s a basic necessity to life. It’s alright that nicer flats cost more but nowadays we value huge additional profits to landlords higher than basic human rights, provocatively spoken.










  • For now the most important part will keeping the tube nest dark and not disturbing your queen too often. She will feed on her remaining wing muscle mass until the first workers hatched and provide her with food. I always liked just giving honey and insects (put them into hot water shortly, to avoid bringing mites into your farm). A good source to look into for insects all year around is pet stores who might carry some as food for lizards.

    You could also look into red, transparent foil. Based on the idea that ants can’t see red light, many people put them around the nest to be able to see inside while hoping to reduce the stress for the ants. I’m not sure what’s the current view on that idea, it has been a long time since I kept my own Lasius queen, back then people were torn, especially considering that most foil might not filter all the light correctly… I’d at least use it together with proper covering, if you want to try it out.
