It breeds males which are then sterilized and released and since the females only mate once, this is a method of screwworm control. 2026-06-15T01:44:46Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrfuyg3evtzastgl7tvh44gt8qvvz936pegutqmyrsew7u27r28uszyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5yren8v In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdr0dvhy4y78cxesxuslfd4lsff2apym3jz3n307pslrv2mtw0nys59z7ch'>nevent1q…z7ch</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>after the sheer disaster of attempts to build political systems based on materialist philosophies, I do not think I care to see the attempt made again. <br/><br/>Treating steps away from aristocratic theories of society, however halting, as entirely hypocritical is a way to ensure that no further steps are taken. 2026-03-01T09:57:15Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrflf2t5epqx3w3hqdr9467cdgeremdu9aqjhlz7duzdrsp3d5dlqzyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5urqxv6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdr37dccfjeylhawgchh6rmygan0y4mf62r9vsqar4dwcdtggv3sg4w923l'>nevent1q…923l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it seems to me we are refighting the battles that led up to the US Civil War on a global scale. The enlightenment ideals on which the US model is based—secular government and equality—are far from universal and no state implements them perfectly or even very well.<br/><br/>Still, &#34;There is no man under the broad canopy of heaven who does not know that slavery is wrong *for him*.&#34; 2026-03-01T05:51:04Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstc0vqvt0jp2e28sp33zhznrfykyd85wle8532vtxx5e9vg4qqd7qzyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5kffpfm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxfpu8k6r9eg6tlchpa2m4m5sajclw98q68a63gt30gecjcaxv85cfqccvk'>nevent1q…ccvk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I would prefer not to pay this price in human freedom. 2026-03-01T03:50:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgpsplk2l2f4vcxgzdnq293dam7r5vw30fq84mg4mj4dpxe7jj4cczyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5xwrval In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswaahxya6ntu8tp798jal7p94w7d58hwsr659x73f7h6qpxp3aglqe3klcz'>nevent1q…klcz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>another problem: the pricing of the slave produced products reshapes the economy. It will become harder to stop using them as slavery becomes more pervasive. If slavery was not being used in China, would higher prices lead us to considering other technologies than photovoltaics? <br/><br/>I am likewise a bit concerned about putting all this power equipment all over the place. There are real safety issues; people fall off of roofs and there is currently no way to put a battery fire out. 2026-02-28T22:44:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswaahxya6ntu8tp798jal7p94w7d58hwsr659x73f7h6qpxp3aglqzyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5flx02d In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvu8txe8qwn9mwvfmwqw5tj2egquvhfngu3tyyt3qcqsy5j9qhxqgey0s8u'>nevent1q…0s8u</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>that is true, but I fear we are building a &#34;sustainable&#34; economy on top of slavery; the Chinese system is expanding, and slavery is being introduced into other countries. In their time, many US founders felt that slavery was a dying institution. They were wrong.<br/><br/>A future built on slavery is a grim prospect. It is time to start opposing it now. 2026-02-28T22:38:18Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfwpwa2vkzfw75yffzxw45dqasmehs7766sadx6hdgw574fhk6ssgzyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5he4mtw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvyfu8zacs6cmp24gmlz2mhqthuqulu87ltxxfxpdu7v2kslek4sgma43x2'>nevent1q…43x2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>they&#39;re making those PV panels and electric cars with slave labor.🙁<br/><br/><a href="https://adviceunasked.blogspot.com/2026/01/xinjiang-slavery-and-solar-panels.html">https://adviceunasked.blogspot.com/2026/01/xinjiang-slavery-and-solar-panels.html</a> <br/><br/><a href="https://adviceunasked.blogspot.com/2026/02/slavery-and-solar-panels-bibliography.html">https://adviceunasked.blogspot.com/2026/02/slavery-and-solar-panels-bibliography.html</a> 2026-02-28T22:10:22Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspjn5ype2jc3xlpx33h7qggm45lldqfh4xz73gyy8sl6py3caaakczyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5tkzdj0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz8wz90gckyd8wjjpurv6gazesvys4l2w5fx5y0fkrq8nms5jqzwseqf3ma'>nevent1q…f3ma</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>may I quote you on my blog? 2025-02-10T19:54:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswhwusty55hx7mxg0gclgjg47v0a8cjsr22utkpnam9elfth0frggzyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5ns4hf4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszesc5cladntx84wxsa49442ltq2gckz8m6yuk4aaeg3y7rte25nc4yzntn'>nevent1q…zntn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>science marches on. 2024-10-30T19:35:24Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrj776hzwsqv2ehlhgluf3e2h7j7l82cqayn2g0rcwdgmuhm79mnszyrhzycdcz80rxpkwjds5r4p28l76mfl97c0xww32s2qz6murcxhx5qcxn4s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspp3m53d99pep79u0zfnmtu9qamnpzk995tgd25a7vj293w5zslmcqxqt4l'>nevent1q…qt4l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it works?
