I don't support the CCP, but I do think about these things. How do you create an open system like a democracy that leverages some of the benefits of capitalism, while also insuring economic inequality is minimized and every citizens basic needs are met, without gradually seeing the rich gain influence in that system over time, corroding the protections that make it work? I think as long as the system is open, the rich will use their power to gradually gain advantage and then destroy the system itself. I think the only real shot at it would be for wealth to be seriously capped. Like, no one person can have more than 100% more wealth than the bottom 1%. Anything above that should be taxed away. Also, corporations are not people and corporations should not have shareholders that are not workers.

Idk. As an engineer that already works 60 hours a week, the last thing I want to do with my remaining free time is spend more time in front of my computer on another project working for free. Not to mention, most engineers sign a lot of bullshit legal paperwork stipulating that their employer owns all the code they write, even in their free time, which makes it hard to get involved.

If I didn't need to work for a living, seems like a worthy cause though.

Not Times Square, should be Lafayette Square.

This is scary because ICE will have incentive to just deport anyone in order to hit a quota.

I've seen more of my contacts join Signal in the past month than over the past 8 years. Also, seen normies quitting Facebook and Instagram.

Democrats absolutely should not pass a bill. It's their only point of leverage.

Yeah, I've been intrigued by Kagi, but would never use a search engine logged in.
