Terry Crews for president!
I can tell you that even tesla's direct ev station installs can sit on hold for over a year after the final construction drawings are done and permitting has been approved. So, this isn't a huge surprise to me, and should get better with time.
The Drilled Podcast recently did a great deep dive on this. https://drilled.media/podcasts/drilled/8/drilleds08-ep01
Ah, I see you have smelt that which I have dealt.
Can you point me to a time when capitalism did happen? Where governments and outside forces weren't picking winners and losers in the market? In such a time what was the plight of the common worker? Did we see overwork, workplace safety, and child labor issues?
Third wave communism doesn't seek to abandon the "free market" (which is free within bounds), it instead favors democracy in the workplace. Where all members of the organization are employee-owners including ceos and middle management and the "Board" is dissolved into either a representative or direct democracy made up of employee-owners. In this way one increases the incentives for each individual to perform and see the company perform well. This also mitigates much income inequality by allowing the workers a say in the compensation of middle and upper management.
Oof, right in the feels.
Extra thick oatmilk is the way to go.
In Shadowrun the intro scenario was a shoot out at a convenience store. A simple one encounter with minimal story to introduce the mechanics. They called it a food fight, and it is how I introduce new plays to pretty much any system now. DnD: a tavern brawl breaks out...
Premades are great for instant play, but if they want to get more invested, the food fight is also a great way for them to get to know their class mechanics too.
Unfortunately I don't have a single host solution (beyond a reverse proxied ftp). But I use plex to host music, audiobooks, movies and TV and Calibre, Calibre-web for text based materials.
If there is a moderate to high likelihood that the average citizen can't afford rent and have a voice in government (ie. protesting 2 days a week, because their vote doesn't effect policy) they live in neither a free society, nor a democracy.
One of the reasons children have been able to lead the protests is because they have a safety net.
Mmm boot. Tell me your opinions on the French or American revolutions next. No one was oppressed under a monarchy were they?
