I don’t think the issue with Civil Rights legislation was the Civil War, I think the issue was equality.

As President Lyndon Johnson said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket.”

Racism isn’t about race at its core, it’s redirected anger from being exploited and abused by people in power. There is a reason people in power always blame “the immigrants” or “the Jews”; it’s redirection.

Who captures the productivity gains, the workers or capital?

I do hope the No Kings protests can grow into a movement beyond Trump because he is just a symptom of a larger issue and the real “kings” are not elected officials, those people are just their servants. Virtue Hoarders by Catherine Liu is a great book on this topic.

Making/growing anything for personal use should be legal.

A government should have no power over people’s private lives, so long as their actions do not infringe, and do not conspire to infringe, on the rights of others.

Perhaps they’re motivated by Europe’s support for Ukraine and the recent data center attacks in Russia?

King Gizzard, probably.

You win, they win. You lose, they win. It’s a scam.

Would love to see a generative AI tool that can integrate the QR/barcode into the artwork itself. Maybe in the next version… Maybe someone could vibe code that.

I do hope they drag their feet just long enough to delay any price declines until after the U.S. elections, for their own sake.

Seems like it’s easier to lose our rights than defend them. It shouldn’t be.

The way Trump has exercised power and ignored the law should be a real wake up for everyone. Imagine if we had a competent dictator? We’d be in real trouble.

Strongly agree. Perhaps an economy shouldn’t be organized around money.

If everyone votes, this will be overturned in a couple years.
