A business that:

A) Extracts wealth through anti-consumer behaviors
B) Hurts workers through unsustainable work conditions
C) Poisons the market through anti-competitive behaviors

Is a failure, regardless of profits or wealth.

Which has hurt you the most?

It’s #AnimalCrossing time!

I feel like there's space to distinguish between #OpenSource and #CommunitySource

#OpenSource is for everyone! Some projects _can_ be socioeconomically sustainable with a fully open-source model.

However, most #OpenSource projects are kept alive by funding/employees of megacorps.

#CommunitySource is #MutualBenefit. You can use the software you contribute back to; either in-kind _or_ in-cash.

#WorkLog

Also hat tip to @lanesweets for asking for the documentation that folks actually need to contribute! I am... very bad at thinking this kind of thing through unless people ask for specific things and are very patient with my fuckups.

I'm happy to see the work on refining #Compensated to something more broadly useful coming along.

We're up to three active contributors now; and most patches have been documentation and tests: https://github.com/zinc-collective/compensated/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+-label%3Adependencies

I even went ahead and broke down the roadmap and put it into a WIP board so that it's easier for folks to contribute: https://github.com/orgs/zinc-collective/projects/1#card-35295448

I'm shifting more to a "product" role and I'm trying to be OK with that. It's hard tho.

Learn which party represents your fiscal policy leanings with the Duck Sized Horses Test:

"Would you rather fund 2 million un(der)-employed people at $2 thousand per month or 2 thousand over-leveraged grifters at $2 million per month?"

A $2T stimulus package passes, and we see a ~4% rebound.

It seems like an indicator even Wall Street does not think the bailout will help long-term.

I'm expecting we'll see the 200s again before we see stability.

I hope I'm wrong and 40 years of evidence that Trickle Down Economics is a mechanism for transferring wealth from the poor to the rich.

But I'm not really holding my breath.

Anyway, here's my orders for the next week.

#AnimalCrossing is a white-billionaire-simulator.

Hear me out!

1. You go to an island with a bunch of non-humans whose entire purpose is to entertain and amuse you.
2. You get praised and rewarded for literally everything you do; regardless of utility.
3. There is massive work being done behind the scenes that you never have to even think about. (15 bugs does not build a god-damn massive museum!)
4. You only ever interact with the humans you already know.
5. And it's all framed as "rugged"

Today is not a good day for me.

Nothing bad happened; just ... anxiety.

I feel like a super villain

I got a chair! Moving up in the world!
