Several Ways To Live In Mexico City

It's three days after the election in the USA and suffice it to say, our hosts were not in the best mood over it. Florian takes the reigns as host while Nick is shocked that people actually listen to the podcast. Our hosts commiserate over the state of the world after the 2024 US Presidential Election.

The inevitability of climate change and how to grow your own food after the climate crisis are some of the inspiring, light topics that come up. (Nick also apologizes for his breathing noises and getting the show notes done hours before recording the next episode, featuring Florian BACK IN MEXICO!) 40 degree summers will be commonplace soon [https://www.sciencealert.com/40-c-summer-temperatures-could-be-common-in-uk-by-2100] / Ivory Charts [https://www.instagram.com/ivorycharts/] / Reddit’s Am I the A-Hole (Original) [https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/] / Reddit’s AITA (The more popular one [https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/]) / The Electoral College is Anti-Democratic [https://www.vox.com/21142223/electoral-college-2020-election-jesse-wegman] / The Christian Democratic Union [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Democratic_Union_of_Germany] / Social Democratic Party of Germany [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_of_Germany] / Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahra_Wagenknecht_Alliance] / Atomkraft?

Home ownership, betting on the future, and organizing at work.

That’s when he realized there was something really wrong with the mortgage and housing market. Did any of you get a good time for when Nick finished his story? Probably longer than 90 seconds. Nick’s old apartment in Mexico City is an AirBNB: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/53845986 Nick is currently using a Pixel 7. Kristin has a Pixel 6. Raven has a Pixel 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_City,_California Most of the population of the Grand Rapids Metro Area (https://censusreporter.org/profiles/31000US24340-grand-rapids-kentwood-mi-metro-area/) lives in an area a little bigger than the Saarland, each being slightly over 1 million people. The City of Grand Rapids has a population of about 195,000, similar to Saarbrucken’s 175,000. nickfarr@chaos.social, brace@dpw.social

Nick and Florian talk Burning Man. Then Kathrin appears. They talk more Burning Man. Then Raven appears. More Burning Man follows.

The OpenAI-generated summaries are so bad, we'd rather publish this episode without any shownotes. That's unless Nick manages to create them within 48 hours of Florian writing this text.

Recorded in December 2022. Florian asked ChatGPT to provide some shownotes. But those were really boring, and so even though it was faster than what Nick provided (and more), we still won't use them. Enjoy our conversation from the past. We realize that we haven't talked much since Nevada. But what happened in Nevada stays in Nevada. Nick took a boat to Europe, and Florian learns the trombone.
