POR: VÍCTOR MANUEL REYES FERRIZ
Hace apenas unos días, se conmemoró el 133 aniversario luctuoso de un casi desconocido personaje ya que, en aquel momento, sería difícil nombrarlo artista, y es que el 29 de julio de 1890 en Auvers-sur-Oise fallecía Vincent Willem van Gogh quien dos días antes recibió un…

ANOTHER kids movie crow parallel
Ferdinand and Nina = Nina and Matthais. Matthias is the bull, Nina's well, Nina.
Why do I think so? Nina from 'Ferdinand' spends the whole movie trying to convince everyone that Ferdinand is not a monster and not like other bulls (who would and could kill people)
Nina from SoC spends her time trying to prove matty innocent and when she meets Zoya and the other Grisha she tries to tell them Matthias is not like the drüskelle any more. Show!Nina also tells Zoya that Matthias is not just a slab of fur
Conclusion : go re-watch 'Ferdinand' (the 2017/2018 vers)
Should I do all the crows? I've done Kaz. I have Jesper and Wylan ready.

NO TO JEEPNEY PHASEOUT !!!!!!
SAY HELLO TO A WORSENED TRANSPORT CRISIS BY 2024
By: Mariella Angela H. Olden (December 28, 2023 | 9:25 PM)
Following a meeting with transportation officials, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on December 12 that no further extensions for consolidation of public utility vehicles (PUV) shall be granted.
One of the cultural markers of Philippine identity is the jeepney. Jeepneys have been the primary mode of transportation for Filipinos due to its affordability and accessibility, particularly for students and workers. Furthermore, it has traditionally been the primary occupation of drivers and operators.
In June 2017, the government established the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP), intending to replace and eventually phase out traditional jeepneys to improve public transportation. However, with the impending phaseout of jeepneys by December 31, 2023, drivers and operators will be forced to purchase costly modern vehicles supported by the government.
Data from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) indicates that five days before the consolidation deadline, 31,058 traditional jeepneys, or 73.5% of them in Metro Manila, have yet to be consolidated. These unconsolidated units are highly not a minority.
Why should drivers, operators, commuters, and workers fight back? Among the many effects of the PUVMP is the increase in the minimum fare that will continue to make Filipinos suffer. The PUV Modernization program is a business. Corporations and large businesses will take over and have the advantage of raising fares to pay for expensive "modern jeeps." In contrast, this is a big disadvantage to the families of the drivers and operators, who will sink into debt due to the burden of the monthly payment of the modernized vehicle.
In addition, the Department of Energy and LTFRB has reported that the number of registered vehicles in the Philippines exceeds 9 million. Just over 250,000, equivalent to 2% of jeepneys, make up the total.
More detrimental effects of this program include the modern jeepney being way more expensive than the traditional jeepney. The price of a typical jeepney ranges from P150,000 to P250,000. The cost of operating a modern e-jeepney will rise by 1,766.7% to P2.8 million for drivers and operators. Although P160,000 will be given as a subsidy according to LTFRB, which amounts to a mere 5.7% of the jeepney's entire cost, jeepney drivers will be forced to make at least more earnings each day to be able to settle their loan if they were to switch to the modern jeepney.
By the year 2024, the mass transport crisis in the country will worsen. The government cannot fill such a large and significant gap in public transport in the country. With the influx of imported cars, many local manufacturers and industries will be affected.
The PUVMP program is forcefully erasing one of the main parts of our identity as Filipinos and only in favor of a few rich and foreign interests, making the Filipino masses suffer, further impoverished, and left behind.
Drivers, operators, commuters, and workers—
Unite and fight for #NoToJeepneyPhaseout #NoToPUVPhaseout #NoToPUVModernizationProgram!

The problem of urban bloat has plagued cities throughout history. Consider Guy Michaels and Ferdinand Rauch’s recent work on differential urban
growth in France and Britain before 1700. Due to differences in the way troops
retreated following the first sack of Rome, Roman garrisons in Britain did not
survive as cities, but many French garrisons did. Hundreds of years later,
French cities remained in these former garrison locations, arrayed along Roman road networks. The British population, meanwhile, began concentrating
in coastal locations to take advantage of new shipping technologies. These
coastal towns experienced faster economic growth, while French cities languished in their original, land-locked locations. By the Middle Ages, Britons were two and a half times more likely to have access to coastal waters than they were during Roman times, while the French were no more likely to have such
access than they were more than a thousand years earlier. Residents of
French cities stayed in place even when the relevant economic technology made
obvious the benefits of coastal proximity.
In part, of course, people did not migrate from inland French cities to the
coast because of simple path dependence. But they also stayed because French
cities developed governmental structures that were hard to relocate—for example, local bishops tended to be the providers of public goods. Because local
public goods were only available in cities built on old garrisons, citizens could
not move to locations more suitable for economic growth. Public policy limited the capacity of the populace to adapt to economic and technological change by
failing to allow for cities to shrink.
