I have a hangup with this concept that hopefully Hexbears can help with: passive income. There are ways to make money under Capitalism where there's either a little or close to no labor needed to start, but profit/income is generated on a regular basis.

A good example of this is dividends. The companies that the dividends are based off of perform some sort of labor, create products, etc. But from my end all I have to do is buy shares of the company or fund holding the company and collect money. Same with landlords, loans, credit cards, and all sorts of systems that don't use up labor on an individual level after an initial investment.

IDK, it's just hard to see "labor" producing all of the "value" with the way our economy works these days. A lot of trading profits comes from bots trading with other bots. Lots of online engagement is bots replying to other bots. AI tools make this more blurry because if a person is willing to buy a picture generated in seconds by a machine does the labor value of actual digital artists stop mattering?

When human labor is no longer needed to produce things of value, how do humans stay relevant?

IDK whale life sounds fun. Of course humans have to ruin it with fishing and filling the oceans with all sorts of plastics and waste :/

This org has been emailing me to apply for months. IDK how to feel about it. On one hand it's one of those things that probably looks good on a resume & being in D.C. would be sweet. OTOH this looks like a neoliberalism incubator... but I also need money.

With ever more Supreme Court fuckery going on I'd like to help comrades in my local org be better secured against potential breaches.

Ideally I'd like to recommend 1-3 options that meet these needs:

  • Easy to use
  • Can be used on phones as well as mobile devices
  • Doesn't retain any network traffic data

Any ideas on what options we have?
