On top of that 79% of the US workers are in the service industry so our economy doesn't depend exactly on our labor. This is all part of a plutonomy. If you want ppl to "vote with your dollars," the ppl with the most dollars get the most "votes." All this to say, no need to try to shame others. (2)

Because when you've been doing my exact brand of work for as long as me, it's really hard to watch things slip farther + farther, w/o some. And that's not helpful. So I'm staying mum. More or less. Lmk if you want to read up? Lmk if you wanna connect with local orgs? Lmk if you want some WFH? (7)

Looks like "we need to maintain the US government, by incrementally moving a little to the right each year and giving up huge swaths of territory to the proudly capitalists." And that's as far as I can go rn without losing it under the weight of decades worth of "I told you so's." (6)

Not saying, I've always had the answers, but that I def have the beginning of a way to get into groups that can easily define the questions, and take the answers from some thinkier thinkers than myself. I have a whole catalog of free PDFs to peruse for answers. I send them for free to folks.(3)

But I've been thinking, why am I ignoring this question so much? Not a question I've EVER had to back away from. Always had answers for them. "Here's what Newton & Hampton would say," or "Here's a resynthesis of some old theory." But it doesn't feel as fitting at this exact moment. (2)

A good time is to walk up E 6th and try out all the food trucks. You could try a little of everything. Always nice folks walking around yonder to boot. ♥️
