Notice how every time there's a labor strike, you see countless articles with headlines like "UPS Strike Could Cost U.S. Economy Billions—Here’s How It Would Impact Consumers" and not by the accurate headline of "UPS's Executive's Greed Could Cost US Economy Billions".

The problem is that they *can't* defend those interests. Mark Zuckerberg isn't merely monumentally, personally unsuited to serving as the unelected, unaacountable social media czar for billions of people in hundreds of countries, speaking thousands of languages. *No one should have that job*.

We don't need a *better* Mark Zuckerberg. We need *no* Mark Zuckerbergs. We don't need to perfect Zuck - we need to #AbolishZuck.

Technical note. Played with coloring in Darktable to give the picture yellow/blue hues. Also added grain and vignetting to imitate an old film camera. Not that I know a lot about old film cameras…

Cash register. This one I spotted in a quaint little hotel called Metro in Petaluma, CA. The entire hotel is decorated in French motives, and it seems like most of the things originate from France and collected piece by piece by the owner. The hotel is also blissfully devoid of any corporate bullshit, and you can get tea in the kitchen even very deep into the night.

Here's the deal.

Running for office is easy when you take corporate money. The average donation is a cool $5000 & you don't have to care what voters think—because you don't need them to fund your campaign

Running for office is hard when you're 100% people funded—like we are. The average donation is ~$25 & we care what voters think—because we serve people, not corporations

But that's how we build a nation truly committed to justice.

I cannot see Trump either cooperating or entering a plea bargain.

I don't have a crystal ball, and I am not an expert in psychology, but it seems to me Trump will fight to the better end. He will cast himself as a victim of political persecution.

sweet, if I do not get confusilated about which type is which:

"Rust has a special annotation called the Copy trait that we can place on types that are stored on the stack, as integers are... If a type implements the Copy trait, variables that use it do not move, but rather are trivially copied, making them still valid after assignment to another variable."
