They follow Trump in this instance though like he's a pope. Changing their values to his whims. -
Like society would not function without baseless wars, sports cars, and child rape rings, and instead have lower gdp but higher mean intelligence, less things but more quality time. Trogolodytes.

You ever notice a new car smell, or the smell of a newer apartment or hotel room, or even going to someone elses house or hotel? Your house has a smell like that but you're used to it, it's like living beside a chemical refinery, you'd get used to it. All the normally used construction materials are made from industrial chemicals and plastics. Paint is usually latex or acrylic, any furniture or carpets, normal insulation, most of the glue in these things is formaldyhyde based which is a straight up carcinogen. And then some people cook inside with gas. Even your synthetic laundry in the dryer, you're essentially cooking plastic in your house, mmmm, smells fresh right? Smell the vent holes on your TV or computer after it's been running, your phone charger, router, modem, microwave, packaging material from the grocery or Amazon. Cleaning supplies, candles,... Then go walk outside and take a deep breath. Open your windows.

Woke 'The Patriarchy' does not mean a man is in charge. If you look back pre industrial revolution, mothers were the teachers of most 'soft skills' to children, many men in a lot of societies regularly even went off away from home most of the time leaving women completely in charge of the household, this obviously gave the women much influence over their local culture. If you look at today, mothers are not as involved and you see schools focusing on teaching people to solely be workers, and far less about 'soft skills' arts, or relations. Ending the patriarchy would mean things like prioritizing healthcare and education over war, ending the idea that everything is dependent on the man in the relationship, that material accumulation is all that matters. You can see a clear change in these priorities at the industrial revolution.

It was more patriarchal when women were tribal leaders, when women owned property,.....?
-
This is what you're responding to "Before the Industrial Revolution, men worked in guilds, tribes, and communal groups. They had deep emotional bonds with other men" Post industrial revolution, everyone became an individual part of the non localized machine. Pre industrial revolution was more local, more communal.

You don't understand what is meant by patriarchy. Rome did not control everyone's way of life, they mostly just taxed people, nor was the Roman empire as pervasive in everyone's lives for as long as it may seem, most of Europe were tribes during the period. You're thinking of it as if the man is the leader, it's patriarchal, it's not, thats an oversimplification. By the way you're using patriarchy, we're not in a patriachy, but that's not what is meant, it's the mentality, the dogma, and ideology. Irene of Athens (797–802 AD): Sole ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire; she ruled as Emperor, not Empress. Theodora (c. 500–548 AD): Wife of Justinian I, often considered a co-ruler who significantly influenced law and women's rights. Livia Drusilla (58 BC – AD 29): Wife of Augustus, often considered the first de facto empress with massive influence. "Women in ancient Rome played a significant, often overlooked role in agriculture, particularly among the lower classes. Rural women engaged in farming family plots, shepherding, and tending crops," "Ancient Celtic women held significant, high-status positions, acting as warriors, rulers, and Druidesses with legal rights to property and divorce that far exceeded their Mediterranean counterparts. Historical figures like Queen Boudica, who led a massive uprising against Rome, and archaeological evidence of female warriors in Iron Age Britain indicate a society where women exerted, at times, equal power to men. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]" The Queen of Sheba, named Bilqis in Arabic and Makeda in Geʽez, is a figure first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. In the original story, she brings a caravan Cleopatra Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC, and the last active Hellenistic pharaoh Ancient Egypt is a prominent example, where women could own property, sign contracts, initiate divorce — Women in the Achaemenid Empire, Parthia, and the Sassanian Empire were allowed to serve in the military, conduct business as equals with men, 4,000 BC women had equality with men in Ancient Sumer, now modern-day southern Iraq. In ancient Sumer – now modern-day southern Iraq – women

Thanks Iran can make a nuke in an otherwise mineral mine, no one would know. But, the u.s. and Israel has no way to stop that NOW. The only way was diplomacy, yet our side has child molesters at the table that no one would trust. PBS https://www.pbs.org Israeli PM steps up calls to end the Iranian nuclear deal May 6, 2018 — Netanyahu said Israel is sharing a trove of confiscated Iranian nuclear documents with the six world powers that signed the deal, as well as Now, what matters is if Iran will use a nuclear weapon, and with BIBI and Trump Iran has little choice, Iran must destroy Israel, just like Israel must destroy Iran(impossible). Iran has no incentive not to use nukes, they're already sanctioned and bombed and threatened with nukes without having nukes, and Trump sanctioned them when they agreed to no nuclear enrichment. Iran must take the middle east from the u.s., the red sea and Persian gulf. There's no reason for Iran to take any US deal, only the US to take Iran's. Trump had every advantage, didn't even have to do anything, and now he's possibly getting his favorite country nuked. -

Look for serious yoga studios, talk to them about 'partnering', where you do a session at their studios occasionally. Start a local Facebook page. Go to other cities yoga studios, start Facebook pages there. Post your classes as events on Facebook, eventually do Facebook and Instagram ads. Start a tiktok, and whatever else(I don't keep up with what's hip anymore), post flyers at coffee shops, go do talks in cities wherever they'll have you. Contact local parks and rec, offer to do a free session for the public with them. Expand to other cities, do all of this there then again.

All Trump is asking for is 5 more years of delayed enrichment than Obamas deal, lol. Obama had a 15 year deal, Trump canceled it, Then Iran got pretty close to weapons grade enrichment, and now we're back to asking for Obamas deal again. Lolz, and Iran won't take it, they're essentially saying they're getting a nuclear weapon now since trump reneged on the first US deal. What an idiot, he has driven them to nuclear weapons and has ZERO leverage now. "The 2015 Iran nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action - JCPOA) negotiated under President Barack Obama did not require Iran to halt all nuclear enrichment, but it did impose strict, time-bound limitations on its enrichment activities. [1, 2, 3] Key Details of the Obama-Era Iran Deal: Enrichment Level Limits: Iran was allowed to continue enrichment but agreed to cap it at 3.67 percent U-235, which is suitable for civilian nuclear power, far below the 90 percent needed for a weapon. Stockpile Restrictions: Iran was required to reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by 98%, limiting it to 300kg for 15 years. Centrifuge Reduction: Iran agreed to cut its operating centrifuges by two-thirds, reducing them to 6,104 units of the oldest, least efficient models at the Natanz facility for ten years. Fordow Restrictions: Iran agreed to halt all uranium enrichment at its underground Fordow facility for 15 years. Post-Obama Developments: After Trump withdrew in 2018, Iran began increasing its enrichment, eventually reaching 60 percent, according to reports in 2026. [1, 2]" New York Post https://nypost.com US pitched Iran on 20-year uranium enrichment 'pause' during Pakistan ... 1 day ago — The US asked Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment program for at least two decades during weekend cease-fire negotiations in Pakistan, All of this just because trump is racist against Obama, WOW. -
If you're hiring it out, slate might be a similar price and 1,000x better, especially if you find some used. I was just showing that it is used customarily and successfully in Denmark. Metal would be a lot cheaper, like your original plan.

This blockade may not be leverage at all, just shooting ourselves in the dick. CNBC https://www.cnbc.com Dollar falls on hopes for revived Middle East peace talks 20 hours ago — The dollar fell on Tuesday, poised for a seventh straight daily decline, as investors grew optimistic that a peace deal between the U.S. The greenback has fallen more than 2% during its seven-day decline, its longest since a nine-session skid ended December 3, when investors were largely expecting at least two rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year. Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said interest-rate cuts may need to wait until 2027, depending on how long oil prices stay high. The dollar extended declines after data from the U.S. Labor Department showed the Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand rose 0.5% in March, short of the estimate of economists polled by Reuters calling for a 1.1% increase, after a downwardly revised 0.5% gain in February. -

You could start a podcast about this! I'm trying to affect the people that won't read a book, they're hooked into social media like it's the matrix, we need more-better matrix for them, more podcasts/channels.

Come on, this has to be one of your life purposes! All the podcast bros are brainwashing guys down the toilet. We need a couple healthy minded ones. Just start a podcast learning about everything or something, and interviewing people.

That'd be cool.

Canada is much colder than Arizona, per energy code you'd need a 5 foot thick wall(per cursory Google search) So the adobe will last💪. It will have some weight to it and slowly break and slide down, pulling on the thatching's weaker attachment. A light gauge wire mesh/fencing(called lathe) screwed over the thatching might be a better idea. I suppose you could use jute/hemp if you're opposed to the metal, maybe some white oak pegs.

Simplest is formaldyhyde-free fiberglass(interior insulation)
-
Thatched roofs are common in Denmark, last a long time too. The cheapest way to do adobe exterior finish, with your hardwood interior, would probably be thatched straw wall insulation, and add a cheap hanger similar like this one to add vertical load strength for the adobe. Normal bricks are just clay(fired)
-
Also, you could post on eco groups and forums, when you get your plans approved, and people will come help you build this. This would be cool as shit. Look up "thatching", "waddle and daub" "adobe" Perhaps, instead of cleats and thatch, a straw bale construction type of exo-construction, you could do essentially an elevated concrete sidewalk around the house and essentially just stack straw bales then mud them, some type of additional framing in there and tied back to the main structure occasionally. "How to Use Adobe Finish in Quebec:Protection from Moisture: As discussed on Permies, traditional earthen plaster can be used, but it must be applied over a substrate that meets local codes, such as Jumbo Tex (15-lb roofing felt), to handle Quebec's wet, cold climate.Waterproof Plastering: Use earthen plaster reinforced with lime or emulsion to ensure durability against rain and snow, ensuring the mixture is designed to withstand moisture.Foundation and Structure: Ensure a concrete foundation rises at least 6–12 inches above the finished ground level to prevent capillary action and moisture wicking from the ground.Roof Overhangs: Design roofs with significant overhangs (eaves) to keep rain and snow away from the adobe walls, as recommended by Quentin Wilson."

"Straw bales typically offer an insulation value of R-2 to R-3 per inch of thickness, " "Quebec, according to industry standards. Minimum requirements often fall around R-19, "4-inch log wall typically has an R-value between R-4 and R-5.6." ~7" straw
