I don't even want them to be less rich. If we avail the suppressed emancipatory technology, even the richest of us would be more rich, in Star Trek style post-scarcity abundance,
ending resource wars, ending manufactured scarcity, ending mandatory maximised wealth extraction "to protect the shareholders", ~
... We could have had spaceships each in the 1930s.
No need for Robin Hood. This sublimation to higher symbiosis, means no need for petty parasitic leverage over others. Rich bounty for each and all.
We can aspire to better than merely "Please sir, can I have some more?" ( nor even "Please sir, can you have some less?".

@edgeofeurope my thought exactly.
But that is probably not an option, because Starmer wants to use Buckingham Palace for buttering up Trump, which would probably not work, if Trump saw King Charles as Zelenskyy's man.

Now that axial flux motors are becoming a thing, I wonder, why haven't we seen one that uses air bearings between the surfaces? Wouldn't that increase power due to the proximity between magnets and cores? or is there such a thing as too close?

"Trump thinks about Canada in much the same way Vladimir Putin thinks about Ukraine. He identifies with his fellow imperialist. ... the way Trump talks about annexing Canada bears a disconcerting resemblance to the way Putin talks about annexing Ukraine."

As Evan Hurst notes, it's clear from multiple instances that
"Vladimir Putin mocks Trump to his face, he mocks him behind his back, and he mocks him on live TV in front of audiences of Russians."
Though Fox News and Trump epigones want to pretend that Putin didn't keep Trump waiting for their recent phone call — a humiliation tactic — there's video footage of Putin laughing about this to an audience who laugh back.

I tried to stick with the service two times and just now I quit again.
I wouldn’t say that the service is too expensive. The quality is there. But it isn’t enough. I found out for myself that almost every show I tried to watch and stick to, didn’t get through to me and excite me.
And when I can’t find any exciting show, the service is too expensive …

Ignore orders.
Congress, Wake Up!
Do you want your offspring to be uneducated?
Are you so vain to not care?
They don’t care. Congress members are so wealthy they all send their kids to private schools, at least the Republicans anyway.
The purpose of this is to commercialize everything in America. Ending Public School and forcing those that want and can afford to educate their children to use private schools provided by corporations.
This is horrible as the poor will likely be left with no options for education. Maybe some religious schools will open their doors to a limited number of poor students but that means getting your children indoctrinated (brain washed) in exchange for an education which would not be worth it at all. You would be better off doing the best you can at home schooling.

in reply to Tinker ☀️ • • •can I ask why you want to speak to Dean Spade? Is it about MA?
If so, I have my personal experiences with MA if you’d like to discuss anything, and I have had to deal with a lot of nonprofit types who used Dean spades education to coopt mutual aid from 2020 on.
But this is just me trying to reach out if you’re interested in that kind of dialogue.
I also have no problem talking about it openly, I just am not going to waste energy arguing with nonprofit apologists.
Tinker ☀️
in reply to affinityseekingbehavior • • •@perennialautonomy - Oh I meant it sort of joking like in that Dean is a public figure and puts himself out there to engage in these sort of things. I've also been reading his MA book a lot, etc.
That said, I love discussing Mutual Aid initiatives and I appreciate you reaching out!
Currently I'm dealing with working with non-profits a lot (they have apparatus in my town and the town itself, for example, is used to working with them).
So funny observations popping up now that I'm having a more direct discussion with them in regards to partnerships, working alongside them, etc.
affinityseekingbehavior
in reply to Tinker ☀️ • • •he is a public figure that seems to engage in these things. Tbh, his book is lacking in many areas, but I appreciate the overall focus on mutual aid.
I will say that I personally think anyone that institutionally aligned should not be advising autonomous networks on mutual aid.

I have been involved in this stuff for over a decade and a half. I don’t know everything, but I’ve experienced a lot of different things that come with this kind of participation.
I’m also coming from a place that is against these institutions that work with the state (nonprofits included), who come in and stick their nose in our business…
