Setting vim to alias to nano seems just about as chaotic evil as making the VS Code icon take you to notepad.

I dunno, those both seem pretty chaotic evil to me.
Even not being a vim wizard, editing code without vim keybindings feels... slow.
Yeah, I could grab the mouse, highlight everything between the arguments to a function and hit delete. Or I could just go to the open paren and just hit d%. I could grab the mouse, highlight the line and hit delete, or I could literally just type dd.
And trying to edit things in nano is positively masochistic.
No.
as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, ... Woke Military, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Iran, ... and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA.
That's not really anti-Israel.
Russia/Ukraine followed by Israel/Iran looks like it's suggesting Israel is in a proxy war with Iran. But the message there is about as clear as mud. I think he's saying we should be staying out of both Russia's war with Ukraine and Gaza? Maybe?

The first case was an 8 month old baby being delivered to his grandparents a few miles away by the postal worker on his route.
A more extreme case was a 4 year old sent 73 miles; a cousin who was a clerk with the rail mail service apparently accompanied her.
Remember that not every unit the census counts as vacant can have someone move into it. Their definition is honestly kinda weird. Some units are under construction or repair. Some are legally tied up in a divorce or estate sale. Some actually have people in them, such as non-dormitory student housing or housing for seasonal workers.
According to the census, 14.5% of vacant units for rent are vacant for less than a month, and 20.6% are vacant for more than one month but less than 2. The median vacancy has been on the market for 3.7 months, and less than 20% of vacancies have been on the market for more than 1 year.
Having a lot of units on the market for a month or two is a good thing; it means people can move to an area and find housing. You're not going to house homeless people by sticking them into an apartment for a month or two between paying tenants.
It's also a good thing because low vacancy rates are associated with rents going up. And the rent being too damn high increases homelessness.
What's the point of that rethoric?
It's black humor.
He's pointing out that lots of people don't seem to have a problem with homeless people dying. They just have a problem with homeless people dying visibly in the streets instead of invisibly somewhere else. Or, even worse, actually addressing the causes of homelessness like building enough housing so the rent isn't too damn high.
"won't actually fix the housing issue" - I'm curious how a lot more availability will fail to drive prices down, which will at least help the housing issue.
The housing crisis is mostly due to not enough supply of housing.
Legislating short term rentals like airBnB helps some, but the real fix is just building a lot more housing. Letting neighborhoods densify from single family homes to row houses or small condominiums. Building more missing middle housing like duplexes and triplexes. Building 5 over 1s.
If prices haven't fallen, you haven't built enough units yet.
Because the stuff you hear about there being a ton of vacant housing is mostly due to the technical governmental definition of vacant housing not lining up with the colloquial.
Sure - blame Rockefeller, Henry Ford, etc. for that. Also e.g. Robert Moses, not that he was a billionaire. But they're all dead. They've been dead.
Is America's suburban sprawl the fault of Bill Gates in particular? Or Bezos, Musk, or Dell?
The statistic that "Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions" is better understood as "Just 100 companies responsible for selling 71% of global fossil fuels". It's fundamentally saying that there's a few large coal, oil and gas companies worldwide selling us most of the supply.
If you want those companies to stop polluting, that amounts to those companies not selling fossil fuels.
Which is honestly the goal, but the only way to do that is to replace the demand for fossil fuels. Cutting the US off from fossil fuels would kill a ton of people if you didn't first make an energy grid 100% powered by renewables, got people to buy electric cars, cold climate heat pumps, etc.
Bullshit.
The investments of just 125 billionaires emit 393 million tonnes of CO2e each year – the equivalent of France – at an individual annual average that is a million times higher than someone in the bottom 90 percent of humanity.
That is to say, if you multiply the emissions of the gasoline sold by ExxonMobil by whatever percentage of ExxonMobile that's in Bill Gate's portfolio, you get an absolutely ridiculous emissions number.
But that seems to assume that if it weren't for those dastardly billionaires investing in oil companies, we'd all be living in 10-minute cities with incredible subways connected by high speed rail, powered entirely by renewables, and heated by geothermal heat pumps. And I honestly don't beleive that.
I used to do it more back in college where I'd ssh into the schools computers to work on assignments. It's still sometimes useful if you're in the console and want to edit something quickly.
However, there's e.g. macvim and gvim which are literally just vim in a gui; they give you menus and the ability to drag panes and click to move your cursor. With a decent LSP setup they can actually be pretty nice.
And most other decent editors have vim emulation of various quality levels. Emacs is a bit buggy, but it's really useful if you want to code in agda or clojure. And VS Code has fairly decent vim emulation.
