Illegal anti-union actions are a problem for the Democratic party coalition.
This guy doesn't know Democrats very well. But generally a good article.
Bonus points for the best bit:
If the most-clever users got to run Twitter, then Dril would be Twitter CEO!

What, they didn't trot out Joe the Plumber again? SMH.
I don't take that as a doomer view at all. It's the view that we must eliminate bosses. Which, to me, is actually a far more positive view than the one that sees having bosses as inevitable, but simply wants slightly higher compensation from the slave masters.
I'd say more that there's no such thing as a fair share as long as bosses exist. But yeah, also true: to take real steps in the right direction definitely requires exerting power, not begging.
Looks interesting. Local, resilient, community power stations are a great idea, even set apart from the dual use for fruit and veggie farming.
I worry that in this case, since the power isn't being delivered directly:
Lightstar’s community solar project will generate clean, local energy that home and business accounts can subscribe to a pay for portion of the electricity generated. This generation is then used as a credit to offset utility bills.
the existing utility company may be given far, far too much leeway to fuck people over, like in California where PG&E plays like crazy with the rates given to people pushing power to the grid from their solar panels, uses obvious rate differences based on time of day, and charges people fees just to use the infrastructure (which is absolutely fucking backwards, since every Joule of energy produced locally is a Joule that doesn't have to be transmitted over their infrastructure from distant power plants).
On top of creating local solutions, we need to start decoupling them from the centralized and capitalist-controlled ones, and/or regaining a great deal of political power so that we can start setting conditions of our own.
I know. Instead of doing what we know needs to be done, let's come up with an over-complicated geoengineering solution that we absolutely do not have the capacity to manage or even predict the outcomes of!
Excellent. Was going to recommend another, similar video, but it's one of the ones Second Thought links to at the end. Nice.
LOL. That was hilarious. Poor idiotic propertarians accidentally invited a real anarchist, when they probably thought they'd invited one of their fake ones who thinks he's going to abolish the state by creating a private one.
Nice. Love to see people contributing both to this genre of source material and to FOSG. And doing it with a good set of players as you go is definitely the best way to do it. Keep on gamin'!
May take a look at the material later, though probably not going to participate in the game.
TBH my initial thought is that it would make more sense to produce source material for an existing genre-neutral system like the Hero System than to create a whole new system unto itself. Still, I guess if the system is going to be FOSG (Free and Open-Source Gaming 😉) then it would still make sense to do the extra work.
