Conservatives don't care what's true, they govern off vibes.

Well, here is a perfect vibe check: y'all feel like most people you know are financially all set? Not worried about work or a sudden medical expense? How's it feeling out there?

Does it feel like Trump and his billionaire boys club are helping you?

Remember Pizzagate?

It's always projection with conservatives. We keep seeing it over and over. When will we believe them?

Your sense of history is brutally stunted.

Because conservatives have been gutting education every chance they get throughout history. 🤷‍♂️

$16M for 3 scientists for 3 years? I hope those scientists are bringing their whole labs with them?

By helping eject from those systems. There's lots of cool open source projects based on all sorts of different hardware. And you can self-host some bits and pieces of your digital life if you really feel motivated to.

I don't know if it's much help but I never said it would solve all the things you seem to want it to. There are some alternatives out there for people feeling trapped by big tech, I'm just trying to share a small piece of that.

Maybe we disagree on the kinds of technological problems society needs to solve. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, but the solution is super easy, low cost, and right in front of you. Pick up a Raspberry Pi if you want to go even cheaper. If you are uncomfortable with electronics, you can still piece together a bunch of cool stuff just using USB as your interface of choice.

Also, 10" mini racks are cool.

Lots of cool stuff happening in tech if you look outside of the big corporations.

If she isn't the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.
