“letting rich people decide how we’ll live our lives always precipitates a crisis. Debts can’t substitute for wages. Cheap goods and rent-extraction were never a substitute for developing and nurturing domestic capacity.”

John Mastodon was a brilliant hacker, a true master of code. He had always been fascinated by the power of the internet, the way it could connect people from all over the world. So, one day, he decided to create his own social network, something that would be truly decentralized, something that would give people complete control over their own data. And so, in his garage, John began to code.

In hindsight, it was genius of Bezos to turn non-profit orgs into extremely cheap advertisers for a global megacorp
The problem (well, one of the problems) with Florida's community colleges banning programs compelling belief in DEI/CRT isn't that state-compelled belief is bad (it is!), it's that quite a lot of the proponents of banning CRT, many of whom work in Florida's government, think any kind of exposure to it is coercive. The colleges surely know this, and they will overreact accordingly. This will chill loads of academic discourse--arguably precisely the state's goal.

"Airport" is a giant sprawling city with tens of thousands of neighborhoods. It shares a noncontiguous border with almost every nation in the world, which is highly restricted and even militarized in many parts. Crossing the border into Airport typically requires paying a hefty visa fee to one of its loosely allied corporate ruling houses. Such a visa confers the bearer rank within the caste system, and grants passage to one or more of the other neighborhoods.
