I have no trouble with a work program replacing welfare for able-bodied Americans, but that work must be meaningful. When we had these programs in the past, people built highways and dams. Their work was important. Telling people to dig and fill holes in order to feed themselves is cruel and, ultimately, would lead to serious personal and social problems.

Humans need meaning in their lives. The democratic party's welfare slash vote plantation dehumanizes quite enough. We ought to replace it with programs that humanize, provide meaning, and get people back on their feet again.

Yup.

Everyone outside of California seems to fear earthquakes so much, but seem just fine in tornado alley. I'll stick with having stuff fall on me rather than being vacuumed to death!

Well actually, yes. How did you know?

Although quakes do do their work wholesale instead of tornadoes' retail, I was referring to the terror of the different even if it is unreasonable. You got people building underground to avoid them yet the daily odds of either are almost nonexistent. But then, I've survived quakes. I know how bad it could have been, and what it's likely to be in the future. Which is damn bad. You would think I'd terrified, Yet this native Californian is emotionally more scared of tornados.

We have big earthquakes once every 80 or so years.

Tornadoes have a season

Yet people are scared of earthquakes

I have an uncle who lives in the San Joaquin Valley for decades (he was born in PA- like the 90% of my family from that generation) and when the East Coast had that earthquake, back in 2011, I was pretty rattled (even though I just felt the aftershock). I remember calling the guy and he was so meh- "yeah, so your point?" Yeah, I can understand, people who live in CA for a long time grow accustomed to earthquakes.

Isn't that the thing? Earthquakes don't have a season. They just appear, and even a baby two second tumbler is probably scary to someone who's never felt the ground move.

Yeah I guess especially when you've been through a big one (for me it was Loma Prieta when I was 9) you kinda get over it. I guess the same way that people who deal with tornadoes ever summer all summer do as well.

You should have seen my wife the first time we had like a 5. She was born and raised in Michigan and was freaking out while I was sitting on the couch laughing
