@blaine.bsky.social closed his #atmosphereconf @atprotocol.dev opening talk with this Ursula Franklin quote, which is oh so personally on the nose given the words “technology,” “democracy,” “justice,” and “power” (add “government”) are the axes about which my brain is perpetually spinning rn.

Modern supply chains don't look like trade theory 101!
They involve constant border crossings, each now hit by tariffs.
