Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.

The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. (continued)

two other words Lester Young used that became popular. "bread" for money. and LadyDay for his close friend Billie Holliday. who was also cool and famous and paid for her blackness with an early death.
that times writer has no understanding of "cool" just a word she gets paid to crap out.

article states "In blunt terms, the word is “cool.”.
no it isn't. jazz saxophonist Lester Young is credited with making use of "cool" and from him it spread. Lester Young paid with an early death for being a fantastic saxophone player who was black and harassed largely due to his race and fame.

what really sucks most about my new york times is the full subscription costs less than individual subscriptions to the athletic (great) games (spouse) cooking (me) and wirecutter (consumerism which is one of THE two worse american curses. TV is worse guess how we got trump?).

USAID, in south africa assisted african college students. they assisted african newspapers. they assisted the creation of black businesses. some of this assistance was money BUT there were USAID people in country too. this all happened in a land where wooden park benches were labeled EUROPEAN ONLY.

USAID was the civilian equivilent of the Green Berets. both groups, military and civilian were created by JFK to help democratize former colonial vassal states. both groups were boots on the ground. the democratization failed in vietnam, but succeeded in south africa. this is WHY elon hates USAID.

...the military formation of Green Berets by President JFK had a civilian counterpart called USAID. Quiet professional experts were deployed as “boots on the ground” during Cold War decolonization, to push and spread democracy around the world...

false equivalence Sir. students were protesting the INJUSTICE and CRIMINALITY of 1000s of civilian deaths by the Israeli defense forces who's munitions are funded to a large degree by American tax dollars. and keep in mind it wasn't ONLY American students. it was happening all over.
