If the US had compulsory voting, voting preferences, paper ballots/record and a day off to vote I think we’d be in a different, likely better, place now. Instead we are doubling down on creating difficulty, disinterest, and suspicion. Constraints, especially enabling constraints, matter.

You know who else’s ear was miraculously healed? The slave who was part of the gang arresting Jesus. I wonder if he repented.

@vcdgf555.bsky.social Not sure if you’re tracking protests this week but a small one in red Coronado, CA. Probably a big one across bridge in San Diego.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Wondered why someone wasn’t showing up on my feed last couple days. Turns out they blocked me, a mystery that won’t be solved. And then, not sure why anyone follows me.

But $1 trillion in tax would have crashed economy ( /sarc). Last I checked 9.6 > 1. It may not be that simple but compare the last 50 years of productivity gains to how the benefits of those gains have been distributed. ‘Ownership’ isn’t possible without social cohesion.
