      Bell Riots took place in 2024, so less than a year away now.

        Sept. 2024. You’re right. Just a bit less than a year.

        The scariest part, though, is that sanctuary cities almost seem like a better alternative than our current approach to the housing crisis of “lol fucking die” :/

          Yeah, and also according to Deep Space 9 lore, the massacre in skid row the sanctuary city of LA was publicized in the media and led to an outpouring of public support for policy reform that improved the conditions for the underprivileged.

          In this timeline, that seems incredibly optimistic to the point of being impossible.

            Public support I can buy. Housing first, Medicare for all, cannabis legalization all poll incredibly well. The government doing it, regardless of who’s in power? That’s fantasy. Lol. I’d be more likely to believe we got transporters, or the Elon musk has a replicator and the rest of us aren’t allowed to use it. Lol.

        Honestly, star trek hasn’t always hit the nail on the head for the circumstances, but in this case, they got the vibe just perfectly.
