What it really means is that the legacy power structures should be much more concerned about the consequences of their actions. People arenâ(TM)t helpless; with both good and evil having terribly powerful technology at their disposal. There are other concerns weâ(TM)ve held much longer, even prior to 9/11, that we still have as concerns. People and infrastructure are just difficult to fully protect. Iâ(TM)d focus more on just doing the right thing, if I were the Leader, thatâ(TM)s whatâ(TM)d help me sleep better at night.

Iâ(TM)m surprised this didnâ(TM)t happen years ago when they released node copter, etc. That itâ(TM)s been this long without seeing it, now thatâ(TM)s surprising to me. At least theyâ(TM)ve given us time to consider counter measures. We should start doing drone wars. Paintball battles with a drone assist sounds fun!

And what the dern heck exactly does it cost? If you canâ(TM)t say, everything else prior was meaningless. That is, even the concept of petrodollars isnâ(TM)t actually accurately quantifiable. None of it is. If anything, this smoke âan mirror array will have us drunkenly staggering into it, eventually. At that point, possibly, people will see a reason to rid themselves of the illusory and paradoxical finance systems currently employed. If enough people decide, no amount of military or paramilitary force can quell the cascade âo dissent.

Humble Bundles give out stuff for cheap. If Iâ(TM)m flat broke, can I just ask for it, being so broke? What if I want to tinker with a raspberry pi? Or computer vision? What if I wanted to be a cook? I met someone earlier, 30yrs old, bragging about being able to find a $14/hr job. I told their 14 yr old companion to go to UDub and get an internship at a good company. I could find so much to say, but Iâ(TM)m not even proof reading and obvs this is a monologue at this moment lol, so Iâ(TM)ll move onto actually productive endeavors.

Some options for implements and materials: abandoned car repair shops, right next to the tent city, across from FedEx and just down the way from Lyft could become open tech centers. Libraries could stay open and have books that are anywhere from useless to quite advanced, easily in reach. We could call them Swartz centers and find ways to provide access to whatever learning materials they might need that we can provide within reason. Iâ(TM)m sure I can find plenty of reasons why not, but really, why is it any worse than nothing or patronizing people? Some people just canâ(TM)t work, weâ(TM)re all so sympathetic, but they canâ(TM)t even find a place to use the loo, at the worst of times. That can be and really should be highly visible and extremely smelly. It should be saying to senses and sensibilities that Holy Shit Houston, even the LEO canâ(TM)t help if we donâ(TM)t fix/path/shim this crap ASAP! 3 laters.

To me, our society hasnâ(TM)t been evolving into a master-slave class systemâ"itâ(TM)s been struggling with to be or not to be one since inception. People gravitate towards certain points of determination and often quit looking much further, in some critical instances, at least until theyâ(TM)re forced to consider things from different angles. Such struggles require this lock condition to persist, as it has, and so theyâ(TM)ve persisted. What happens, from my view, and I canâ(TM)t say itâ(TM)s intended or malicious, is that people make decisions they find to fit their needs, but the way we do it often reminds me of someone with a plank over their shoulders bumping into people as they swing around. If someoneâ(TM)s objective is to enable a master-slave condition, people being unaware of behavior modification techniques, like saying LEO is the factor to fear (that is, in of itself, such a way to influence thoughts and behaviors; amplified online), is the greatest tool any âoepowerâ-ful leader and organization, even of our own construction, might have. There are plenty of options here. Why is there no real discussion about giving people are real way to ascend out of their class? Well, the focus seems to be on concerns such as cost per head. They donâ(TM)t even have good ideas for how to spend it that way, let alone, apparently, have the common sense to give people at the bottom the implements and materials to build their proverbial ladders. Some ladders, like if you asked John Day, are only needed one time. Some times, you discard them after first use. These arguments we as a society have been having kind of seem sophomoric to me. We even still call the President ridiculous names, and weâ(TM)re supposed to be smart here. Itâ(TM)s a lost cause until people grow up or are forced to. LEO wonâ(TM)t even be able to help themselves, if the âoewellâ dries out too much. I think the lock conditions we perceive to be problematic, likewise, are infinitely solvable. I donâ(TM)t see stuff like kakistocrats, plutocrats, corporatists, or their potential and/or real influence over LEO getting in the way. Just as a humorous anecdote: Iâ(TM)m in Redmond, you ask the LEO here what they have to say about me. Might give you a good chuckle or at least go, âoeHmm...â (Or LVMPD/HPD, in NV for that matter, although thatâ(TM)d probably just affirm your suspicions!) {:
