I agree.

People need to put down their crystal balls and learn to experience life for themselves.

Biggest problem? Funding. No investors want to touch a co-op.

Here's where it gets rough. The biggest problem isn't "funding." It's people working solely for money and nothing else.

If you really care about X, then you should be willing to put in the work even if it doesn't give you the most money in return.

As long as, at all levels of society, people prioritize wealth over results, these problems will not get solved.

I almost got shot in a truck stop in Elk City OK because I pointed out roads and the armed forces where socialist institutions.

I completely believe you, and it's sad these are also the people who routinely complain about censorship.

Hate to break it to you, but pretty much all of capitalist society is built upon the conditions you describe.

People should really think about how much money is wasted on bullshit laws.

Imagine all the advances in science we could be making, all the homes we could be building, and all the children we could be feeding.

But instead, we spend money to ensure rich people can make more money.

It's fucked.

“Intimidation is the tactic,”

Yes, absolutely. There is a war against free speech and they're trying to make people afraid to even fight back.

Hmm, they may have changed it or I could be misremembering.

Desktop mode also allows you to play a video while your screen is off which is good for listening to music.
