  • I am attempting to point out that a document that you’re holding up as an ideal, together with what it represents and how society surrounding it was structured did not last for more than 55 years, which is less time than I’ve been on this planet.

    While it might represent something that you find appealing or inspiring, it didn’t last, or said differently, it failed.

    I’d also point out that countries like Australia don’t have a constitution at all and they’ve lasted longer than that.

    I think that you need to find a better argument to promote a worker based economy. Perhaps the co-op based system in Italy, which has lasted longer, is a more sustainable way to go.

    Regardless of the account, anonymous or not, I assume that my identity will be revealed and post accordingly. I’ve been doing so since I first posted on the internet in 1990.

    Not for nothing, the same is true for email and any other form of (electronic) communication.

    Do I make mistakes? Absolutely! Have I regretted making a post or comment? Over the years perhaps less than a dozen times, that, or I’m getting old and feeble minded.

    I try to make my contributions positive and supportive, sometimes I even manage to get the balance right between my odd sense humour and misunderstanding promulgated by online communication with strangers.


















  • Why do you see this as USA only?

    Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.

    The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only image with no alt text.

    I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.

    Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.

    I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.
