We need weekly activity plans to introduce multi-racial, multi-age, multi-political people to each other in palaces for the people venues.

Read the book 'Palaces for the People'... Invest Billions in social infrastructure... and run the country like it was a retirement community. Everyone is welcome, everyone has value and we need to learn (with practice) how to love each other again.

If you feel like politics is broken... If you are tired of voting for the least-worst option... If you wish there was a lobbying firm that represented you instead of Big Business, then be a policy nut.

When should we just give up on Cloudflare? Seems like this just keeps happening. Like some kind of backdoor triggered willy nilly, Hmmm?

If they EU wants to spend trillions of euros and send millions of europeans soldiers to fight for zelensky then they have every right to do so. If they don't want to pay that price then they should shut up.

Why are people leaving their jobs?... for the same reason the 1% is increasing wealth at compounding rates and the 99% have had stagnant wages for decades. (accounting for inflation in housing, healthcare and education)

This is so accurate it seems almost fake.

Who has written something similar about the next 100 years?

Preferably with as much positivity and wisdom as this gentleman had.

I have over 10 years of technology project management experience. During that time I have co-founded and managed two non-profit makerspaces and successfully grown each into a thriving and lasting enterprise. Each of these organizations consisted of technically proficient members, mostly engineers. I was responsible for conflict resolution and diplomacy in order to keep dozens of members content with project strategies and objectives.

I have organized 3 years of Startup Weekend competitions with over 100 technology entrepreneurs purchasing tickets for each event. Our leadership team consisted of highly skilled and experienced technology professionals. I managed the events and the leadership teams for each event from start to finish. I raised the funds for producing each event (over $15k), and coordinated graphic design assets and marketing strategy, managed event venue sourcing and contracts, recruited angel/VC investors for judging, and much more.

I founded and organized the Google Developer Group for Charleston for 3 years. This was a team of software developers and we met on a monthly basis to share presentations, software development skills, and to collaborate on software projects.

More recently in my consulting business I have provided product development consulting services to over 20 unique clients. My last consulting project was funded by the Dept. of Homeland Security via a $500K grant for mitigation of coastal flooding. Our three person team developed a custom web-app in a 6 month sprint. On that project I was responsible for all of the UX design. I also managed all of the useability testing and designed assets for a 20 person focus group event.

I went to the documentation to SEE the software's User Interface. (i.e. what does it look like to use this software?) But sadly, like many open source projects they don't make the UI easy to see in the documentation or github pages. It's like they require to you install it before showing you how it works???
