Firstly: the soil is poor. Lots of issue with soil runoff, and it's not viable to irrigate basically at all.
Secondly: they don't want to.
I think people forget how much mining paid for a while, even if the cost was the miner's lives. It's like the oil workers in the Dakotas, they like that work for the pay.
The only way you could agriculturalize that region would be having a mid to large agribusiness come in and industrialize it, which makes no sense because it's cheaper and easier everywhere else.
They're orphaned by geography. The tunnels helped but nowhere near enough.
You are a leftist.
I just think the GOP needs to burn.
We are not the same.
The peace treaty was for 10 years.
And they made that treaty so they could partition Poland and invade and brutalize Finland, no other reason.
The secret protocol was very clear.
Also ends federal judicial contempt enforcement when the government ignores a ruling or injunction.
Good news!

One of the major jobs of the department of education was to enforce desegregation, now scotus has cleared the way for a new wave of segregation academies, like under Jim crow.
They have to be religious, but if your church is all white then your school can be too!
The south has finally risen again :(

Russians loved the nazis, and agreed to split Europe with them too!
But then again, they'd been genociding jews, Ukrainians and everyone else for centuries by then, I suppose they saw kindred spirits.
Can see that, it's hardcore, and Tom Hardy is Tom Hardying the shit out of it.
Yeah, the pace is stupid, the problem is it's 22 minute shows, and I think they're trying to finish in less than 10 episodes.
For 22m shows they should do 18-20 er season, but the format generally sucks for anything except comedy.
But I was optimistic because the short length also means it doesn't have to be burdened by all the overwhelming pretense of the heavier stuff, it can be chill about it.
I'm making a point that we need more casual, cheap stuff like this to fill in viewing hours, with a few prestige shows for the high end.
Twot was trying to be prestige and ended up a complete disaster, while starving other good shows of that cash.
The boys is also fairly cheap in comparison (getting more expensive obviously as time goes on, but nowhere near twot/trop).
Tech companies had so much money they started throwing money at shit, that was the problem.
No.
I advocate for removing the southern racist conservatives (aka the christofascist dixiecrats) by any and all means necessary.
Once they are neutralized I advocate for a more balanced status quo, closer to northern European social democracy.
But mostly, the south has to burn. They are the cancer destroying this country.
I advocate for a reasonable debate, a fair fight, not corporatism.
I know that makes me literally worse than zionist super-Hitler to the tankies.
