mastodon 4.7.3I'm a Colorado native raising a family in the mountains. I'm a software engineer by trade, focusing on Architecture, APIs, Data, and Platforms. I use as much Free Software as I can every day. Away from the screens my passions are reading, gaming, cooking, and music. I advocate for community, freedom, and diversity. I am an ally.
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care cause I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out, to the black
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
You can't take the sky from me
We now return you to Carl Phillips at Grovers Mill.
Democratic governance rests on a bargain so old we’ve forgotten it’s a bargain at all. The governed have something the governors need: labor, tax revenue, military service, consumer spending. This dependency is the source of democratic leverage. The whole system functions because power is distributed, and it’s distributed because the people at the top need something from the people at the bottom.
Remove labor from that equation and watch what happens.
