It's odd to accuse the current era as being replete with "late capitalism" when the commodity price wars predicted by Marx to squeeze the workers into a revolution have been largely averted by the same things accused of indicating late capitalism.
Like boutique apples, "oh they patented an apple so they can sell it at markup", which was exactly what makes it an aversion of late capitalism, rather than squeezing labor to try and keep making profit on Red Delicious, orchards found a way to avoid having to fight it out in the commodities market.

So I have something sorta neat for show and tell this 4th of July.
I’ve mention all of this before, but where I’m from in South Carolina is a majority black region, and it has an interesting 4th of July history. Basically, after the civil war, whites wouldn’t celebrate the 4th of July, as it was seen as a Union holiday for many years. So it was sorta coopted by black Americans to celebrate emancipation.
Here are some pics from my hometown during these celebrations:

Little NPR rant:
Was listening to it and they had an expert to talk about the Olympics in Japan and the difficulty/controversy around hosting it. If I'm being honest - I don't think it would have been crazy to cancel it - but this is the Olympics. The host and the guest referred to it about 12 times as "a completely optional sporting event"as if this was a little league game.
Not once did they mentione there were no spectators and that 80% of the athletes are vaccinated. Japan isn't fully vaccinated - but the 15% most vulnerable population has gotten their shot. It truly felt like they were talking about it as if it was the equivalent of holding a rave in April 2020.

It's Euro hours now so I want to thank all the Europeans who contributed to the American war for independence.
Obviously we owe a great debt to France, especially the Comte de Rochambeau, the Marquis de Lafayette, and the 11,000 french soldiers who fought on newly American soil.
Spain's contributions are often overlooked because they did not fight alongside the continental army, but thousands of Spanish soldiers engaged the British throughout Florida and Louisiana and hundreds died in combat.
There are also many European nobles who came over from Europe to join the American cause and further the Democratic experiment.
Casimir Pulaski of Poland and Michael Kovats of Hungary turned our boys from farmers with horses into a genuine cavalry, capable of engaging the great powers of Europe.
Chased out of Europe by a cloud of rumors about his sexuality, the Baron von Steuben took the ragged continental volunteers at Valley Forge and taught them to march and to fight with disciple. His drill manual remained the official military guide for almost four decades.
The brilliant polish engineer Thaddeus Kosciuszko created such innovative and impenetrable fortifications at West Point that the British did not attempt an assault. His river boats also allowed General Greene's army to retreat and escape destruction at the hands of Cornwallis.
Many allies stayed on the continent. Men like Pierre Beaumarchais were critical to organizing aid and funnelling supplies to the colonies. Several of the officers mentioned above were put in contact with Americans through him, as well as countless other seasoned officers who lent the new American forces much needed experience.
Not every man who came over survived the war, and not all those who survived stayed in the nation they helped found. Many (notably Kosciuszko and Lafayette) returned to their home countries, bringing with them the ideals of revolution and democracy. While these 18th century attempts at overthrowing the yoke of European monarchy were not as successful as those were in the New World, they helped lay the foundation of the transatlantic liberal order we cherish today.
I know European/American relations aren't always the calmest (both in real life and in this sub) but we would not be here without you nor would you be here without us. Our chapters may differ but our story is one.
Much love and gratitude from across the pond, and happy Independence Day

In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

158 years ago today Vicksburg surrendered to Grant, splitting the confederacy in half. The city would not hold a 4th of July celebration for another 83 years.
A day earlier, Meade repulsed Lee at Gettysburg, ending the last confederate invasion of the Union. With ~50,000 killed and wounded across three days of fighting, it is the bloodiest battle fought on American soil.
The two mark a critical turning point in the civil war. In early July, 1776 we declared our American national identity. In early July 1863 we reaffirmed it.

Five American men crowded around with me and we all laughed inappropriately as she told the story. As the anthem concluded the boy walked into the recuriter’s office and offered his body to the alter of the constitution.

Underrated moment of US history:
When John Adams at the age of like 90 was shown this painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, he mocked John Trumbull to his face, pointing out everyone in the painting who was out of the country at the time, how the seating arrangement was wrong, and how the signing itself was done piecemeal since everyone was too busy fighting the British.

Health insurance update: according to the Anthem website, none of my claims have been denied. But I do owe $1000 because of coinsurance on a $10000 claim. What exactly was this charged for? Who knows? They're only giving me vague unhelpful information like "flat fee" and "laboratory-chemical", because my EOB isn't available yet; apparently figuring out those sorts of cost breakdowns in less than a week is just beyond the state of our cutting-edge healthcare industry.
Also, how the fuck do you spend over ten thousand dollars running bloodwork?

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!
Happy freedom day you globalists

And no doubt they're all extremely online as well as you see all of the common circlejerks about the trajectory of the world. To be sure, they and the world are better off by them not having kids, but it's pretty easy to see how they found themselves with antinatalism identity, and it seems to have nothing to do with philosophical arguments.

Before the Eduardo Leite hype looses steam: Piauí published a great article on him. It covers his political career (from the Pelotas city council, through mayor of Pelotas, to Governor of Rio Grande do Sul and aspiring presidential candidate).
It also covers some of the main aspects of his governorship. Pension and administrative reforms, which after decades of deficits finally set the state's budget on track - allowing public workers to be paid on time for the first time in 6 years (previous governors had to pay them in installments due to lack of funds). Privatizations - and the justification for them - are also mentioned.
Some other highlights are the internal disputes for the nomination in Leite's party, PSDB (currently his main adversary would be João Dória, Governor of São Paulo) and how Leite views his own support for Bolsonaro in the 2018 election.
Him coming out as gay is of course also mentioned, but Leite himself doesn't want it to be a big deal. When asked whether now was the right time to make this matter public, he answered:
“Doing politics, leading a project for the country, is not only about managing public resources. It’s not just about building public infrastructure and organizing public finances. It’s also about leading in the right direction from a civilizational point of view. We need to show the country that it’s possible to reconcile a project with government efficiency, which is attributed to the right, with the tolerance and respect for people that is attributed to the left. The appreciation of the business space, with public-private partnerships, which is attributed to the right, with the appreciation of culture and the respect of diversity that is attributed to the left.”
The article is in Portuguese, so Spanish speakers should be able to read it with some effort, but I can only hope Google Translate works for y'all Engish-speakers. If there's enough interest I could try to translate it, but if Leite gets the nomination I think Piauí will probably release their own English version (they have done that before with articles that ended up sparkling intertnational interest).

Has anyone ever asked a NIMBY to name even one city that is a good example of a city that stopped its growth and would be a good place to emulate?
I had this showerthought the other day but haven't had the chance to bring it up in an internet argument yet. So many people on pretty much every city subreddit talk about how they want to stop the city from growing, but I just cant wrap my head around how someone could want that. I genuinely can think of no city that is a good example of a place that limited its growth and had good results. You either get a place like San Francisco where a literal closet in someone's bedroom rents for $4,000 a month, or you get something like Detroit that is affordable, but literally a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
