Protests mount across China: How they started and where they could go

Apparently, a Communist Control System (CCS) isn't enough. A Covid Control System has been firmly entrenched and forced upon the masses for quite a while now. Such CCS tactics are only evident of a Commu-fascist, totalitarian control grid.

Brian May, AI and the Robots...

The robot theme and synchronicity runs very deep between Brian May and QUEEN...

Who else but the star of Mr. Robot would become the best choice to be in Bohemian_Rhapsody.

AI and CGI is used to create new music and art, but it can also revive the likeness of icons from the height of their notoriety or popularity.

World population reaches 8 billion

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/world-population-8-billion-humans-earth

The ongoing question is, how many more people can the world accommodate? Some countries want to absorb very little of the world's population. In some cases that's because they already have a significant growing population. Immigration_to_Japan has always been heavily controlled, as is the case with immigration_to_Switzerland as well. Both countries have great population density, but also have their low populated mountainous and rural areas. Canada could have the best of both worlds. Great urban density, while retaining plenty of wilderness, parks and farmland. 

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-new-housing-population-statistics

Even though Canada is the 2nd largest county in area, it still has less than half of 1% of the world's population, as of late 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_area

A Minor Earthquake hits the Montreal Area

 https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/minor-earthquake-hits-montreal-area

Montreal just isn't as prepared as LA & SF, Sydney & Auckland, especially Tokyo. So if a very intense earthquake ever hits, the city could get quite a jolt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal#Geography

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal#Neighbourhoods

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Square,_Montreal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_la_Bourse

Only one of_the_tallest_office_buildings_in_Montreal has been permitted to have 51 stories. There are some residential buildings with more floors.

1250boulevard René-Levesque 

1000 de la Gauchetière is the tallest office tower in Montreal, at 51 stories. Montreal might never allow 100 story buildings like NYC & Chicago have. No Melbourne towers with over 100 levels.

Biggest Megacities by 2050

Big cities are such economic and cultural engines. Of course congestion, crime and squalor are ongoing issues, but many people are continually drawn to the big urban areas of the world for mostly beneficial reasons.

Of course there are always those that would rather still set the world on fire.

Both sides went to war against each other. The argument is that one side might have wanted more war than the other.

Is Amazon’s HQ2 project stuck in the past?

 https://www.protocol.com/amazon-headquarters-arlington-office-space

One would think that Amazon might want to build the tallest building on the planet. Certainly the money is there for it. HQ2 will be significantly taller than the Apple_Park complex, but it still won't be that much of a tall building complex.

Of course almost any building can eventually be repurposed, if need be. So if there is an office surplus there are other options.

An office building in Chicago has become partially residential to become a luxury hotel.

330_North_Wabash was originally built to just be a 52 story office tower. Eventually part of it became repurposed as the-Langham hotel.

The Drowned World

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drowned_World (1962)

Waterworld (1995) is an interesting Sci-Fi movie, but it was never a huge hit in the theaters.

"In 2500,[4] as a result of the sea levels rising over 7,600 metres (24,900 ft), every continent on Earth is now underwater. The remains of human civilization live on rugged, floating communities known as atolls, having long forgotten about living on land. It is believed that a mythological "Dryland" exists somewhere in the endless ocean." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterworld#Plot

"It is nicknamed the Mile High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile (5280 feet or 1609.344 meters) above sea level." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver

https://whatculture.com/film/20-things-you-didnt-know-about-waterworld?page=16

According to the movie, Denver could easily be well under a sea-level of 7,600 metres (24,900 ft).

"Elevation measures the total height above sea level. Whereas, altitude is the height of something over the earth’s surface. Meaning towns, such as Denver, doesn’t have an altitude of 5,280, but an elevation. An airplane going overhead Denver, might be cruising at an altitude of 30,000 feet." https://www.uncovercolorado.com/highest-elevation-towns-in-colorado

As would also be the case for some cities in Mexico, since none of them are at 7,600 metres (24,900 ft).

"Elevations of 5,000 to 7,000 feet above sea level are not unusual for cities in Mexico’s colonial heartland as well as those in the southern states of Oaxaca and Chiapas.  Mexico City and Guadalajara are also cities situated at elevation." https://www.mexperience.com/breathing-high-altitudes-in-mexico

It's really not a good idea, but some people would rather live next to a toilet in a bunker. It's so ironic that only a very small percentage of people can decide the fate of the world. For some, the prospect and thrill of another world war fulfills their desire to live next to a toilet and brag about how they turned the world into shit! Even the best type of underground bunker-city has the potential to become a shitty...
