We live in the United States which has allowed 1,000,000+ die from a preventable illness in order to make money and boost sales. A country which has bombed the rest of the globe for the last 70 years and displaced/murdered tens of millions. Why do you expect empathy from such a place?

Fearless Fish Market

Lmao good luck this is the population that regularly forgets to yield or even look at incoming traffic before turning anywhere.

I would be wary of Kin. As someone who grew up in Virginia, NC, MO and has spent time in New Orleans, Kin's food was deplorable. Ive never had unseasoned grits in my life until I went to Kin.

It's a modern riff of the classic Last Word:

bourbon 3/4 oz aperol 3/4 oz amaro nonino 3/4 oz lemon juice 3/4 oz

The Eddy, Courtland Club, Royal Bobcat, and the newly arrived Clementine are the best bars in Providence. The Avery uses entirely too much cheap ice in all of their drinks making everything watered down. I asked for a Paper Plane at Needle & Thread and they had no idea wtf it was.

Get a bike then I DK what to tell you bro

The Providence location is catered toward pedestrians lmao

American wealth disparity is reaching critical levels + no social safety nets in place + housing available is not affordable whatsoever

It was around 6:30 PM

Picked clean when I went, but gr8 location.

The entire country has been in rapid decline for the past 20 years.

This sounds like the entire United States

Did you have COVID before going

There is one capitalist ruling class composed of the ultra-wealthy and their interests. Our "two party system" is largely impotent pageantry designed to divide the population. Over the last 30 years, the only thing that is improving is the net worth of the top 1%. Every other material outcome is in sharp, steep decline as the wealthy class cannibalizes every public institution leaving no stone left unturned.

I don't think the climate suits making bourbon tbh

Warwick is prob the most miserable part of Rhode Island. Everyone there seems to either hate Providence or hate Rhode Island but they won't move.

I'd agree if the attitudes and personal feelings of Americans in general weren't completely shaped first by nascent capitalism a la chattel slavery and then afterwards by unfettered and unregulated hyper capitalism lol. Peoples attitudes in this country are inextricably linked to Capitalism bc Capitalism has been allowed to seize and commodify every single facet of society. Americans have never lived to experience any other system.

Greed, selfishness, and entitlement are behaviors enhanced and rewarded in Capitalist countries. To say that one has nothing to do with the other is real naivety imo.

Yeah I guess I don't understand the "I paid this money to be isolated" mentality which often naturally coincides with the "I can't stand seeing homeless people everywhere!!" mentality. If you don't want homeless, provide more affordable housing lmao.

I guess I've lived in countries where entire communities live next to each other in mega high rises vs the US where people want to live isolated. In Singapore for example the government strictly regulates housing ratios based on ethnicity to ensure everyone lives next to everyone else. They try to minimize the "I'm not living here bc the <insert minorities> are moving in next to me" attitude like you find in the US.

No you cannot flip a switch to communism lmao. You would need a transitory stage of socialism in order to reach communism without total catastrophe.

"Local residents will oppose a bunch of new apartment buildings." Why in the world would they do that if the state regulated the supply and pricing of those apartments? How does building new apartments affect someone whose life doesn't revolve around property value? I think any rational person would want a society where affordable housing is plentiful. You're only able to imagine what an American would think if new property encroached on their networth and you believe this to be true for all societies lmao.

You don't think local contractors and landlords will lobby our regulators to keep housing supply low so they can inflate housing prices? Capitalism is all around the world but we are one of the few Capitalist countries where every facet of our government has been seized by capital interests.
