Thinking about how aliens would respond to the English phrase "better to ask forgiveness than permission." Like imagine that one survives in whatever language we evolve and the aliens are like "Do Not. EVER. Follow a human who says it's better to ask forgiveness than permission unless you are willing to go to space prison for them."

There’s actually a few things here that majorly dropped childhood mortality. In no particular order these include…

Vaccines (yay!)

Pasteurization

Implementing and enforcing food quality and sanitation standards. Did you know White Castle was called as such because their gimmic was that they continually cleaned and bleached their stores inside and out to prevent food poisoning.

The invention of antibiotics! The first sulfa drugs dropped in the 1930s-40s

Widespread access and distribution of enriched food products! Enriched flour did a lot to prevent malnutrition, and it’s how Wonderbread got its name!

We got a hell of a lot better with medical care for sick and premature infants. The first incubators for premature babies were actually used as something of a sideshow attraction at Coney Island! It was the only way the doctor who invented them could get funding to keep them running because no one thought it would work. It showed a lot of people that really premature babies could survive with the right treatment and eventually was adopted by hospitals.

The green revolution in agriculture that prevented around a billion people from starving to death

More recently it’s been widespread access to mosquito nets and medication to poorer and rural areas

Ok so I live in a college and university town, (in Canada those are two different things but this particular town has both a college and a university), and the town passed a bylaw stating that you can’t rent a house to more than 4 unrelated adults.

Do you know how many college and university kids are living 8-10 to a house just to be able to cover rent? Kids trying to afford a place to live while not having to work super crazy hours on top of classes, studying, and being human. Cutting that in half, means doubled rent and having to pick up like 20 more hours of work a week.

A legal 1 bedroom apartment around here starts at $1500 and that’s only the rent. That’s not utilities, or renter’s insurance, or food, or anything else you need to survive. Rents are crazy all over this town, the province of Ontario, and Canada as a whole.

Why do I bring this all up?

Well I rent a room in a house with 3 distinct areas, each with their own kitchen and bathroom, and a total of 6 legal bedrooms, with each bedroom rented by an unrelated adult. A 3 bedroom main floor, a 2 bedroom basement, and an in-law suite. Most of us living here, are on ODSP for various issues.

Seriously, there is an ambulance here like once or twice a month, we are not healthy people. Only the guy renting the former in-law suite, at a higher rent than the rest of us since it’s got it’s own kitchen and bathroom, isn’t on Disability. The social workers at the local hospital’s inpatient mental health ward have a good relationship with my landlady.

ODSP is like $1450 a month. And you can’t really rent a place with a friend or someone else because if your worker decides you are a couple, you lose your benefits, both financial and medical. And they don’t need any proof. So the fact that we are all renting individual rooms with our own leases, and not renting each area together means that we can’t loose our benefits randomly.

This bylaw doesn’t take the size of the property into account. Again, this house has 6 legal bedrooms. But apparently only 4 bedrooms can be rented. So the landlady is supposed to just leave 2 rooms empty? Why? And during a housing crisis? When she gets several phone calls a day asking if she has room available?

Why are we making it harder for people to live?
