"MILLIONAIRES ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS"
"...THIS IS DICTATORSHIP BY LAW"
YOU AREN'T MIDDLE CLASS
YOU ARE WORKING CLASS
the billionaire, oligarchic class has so gamed and skewed valuations of wealth in this country, unless you have assets that can be liquidated in the MILLIONS, you are NOT the middle class anymore.
doesn't matter if you are making +100K. between student debt, credit cards, many of y’all are one health care crisis away from an eviction and homelessness.
YOU ARE NOT MIDDLE CLASS
MILLIONAIRES ARE THE MIDDLE CLASS

@arndell Could you add some hashtags to stories for #DoctorsWithoutBorders #MSF or interesting things for people thinking about going / signing up with them or even other #alternatives for #Doctors ?
One tip for example is MSF made you sign up for doing #abortions in some destination countries (so you might end up doing anti-natal / victim abuse which is a complicated topic for some like #Christian doctors or #Christians who believe in saving lives to fullest).
(Disclaimer - This post might not be latest / correct info, do check yourself)

#GretaThunberg about #Rules
#ClimateJusticeNow and rules that needang changing
"We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal’ was already a crisis. What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet. It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the Global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”

Posted by Andrew Cater (#Debian #DebianConf #Linux #fan)
I have had excellent colleagues both at my day job and, especially, in Debian over the last thirty-odd years. Several have attempted to give me good advice - others have been exemplars. People retire: sadly, people die. What impression do you want to leave behind when you leave here?
Belatedly, I've come to realise that obduracy, sheer bloody mindedness, force of will and obstinacy will only get you so far. The following began very much as a tongue in cheek private memo to myself a good few years ago. I showed it to a colleague who suggested at the time that I should share it to a wider audience.
================================
SOME ADVICE YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM
================================
Personal conduct
Never argue with someone you believe to be arguing idiotically - a dispassionate bystander may have difficulty telling who's who.
You can't make yourself seem reasonable by behaving unreasonably
It does not matter how correct your point of view is if you get people's backs up
They may all be #####, @@@@@, %%%% and ******* - saying so out loud doesn't help improve matters and may make you seem intemperate.
Working with others
Be the change you want to be and behave the way you want others to behave in order to achieve the desired outcome.
You can demolish someone's argument constructively and add weight to good points rather than tearing down their ideas and hard work and being ultra-critical and negative - no-one likes to be told "You know - you've got a REALLY ugly baby there"
It's easier to work with someone than to work against them and have to apologise repeatedly.
Even when you're outstanding and superlative, even you had to learn it all once. Be generous to help others learn: you shouldn't have to teach too many times if you teach correctly once and take time in doing so.
Getting the message across
Stop: think: write: review: (peer review if necessary): publish.
Clarity is all: just because you understand it doesn't mean anyone else will.
It does not matter how correct your point of view is if you put it across badly.
If you're giving advice: make sure it is:
Considered
Constructive
Correct as far as you can (and)
Refers to other people who may be able to help
Say thank you promptly if someone helps you and be prepared to give full credit where credit's due.
Work is like that
You may not know all the answers or even have the whole picture - consult, take advice - LISTEN TO THE ADVICE
Sometimes the right answer is not the immediately correct answer
Corollary: Sometimes the right answer for the business is not your suggested/preferred outcome
Corollary: Just because you can do it like that in the real world doesn't mean that you can do it that way inside the business. [This realisation is INTENSELY frustrating but you have to learn to deal with it]
DON'T ALWAYS DO IT YOURSELF - Attempt to fix the system, sometimes allow the corporate monster to fail - then do it yourself and fix it. It is always easier and tempting to work round the system and Just Flaming Do It but it doesn't solve problems in the longer term and may create more problems and ill-feeling than it solves.
[Worked out for Andy Cater for himself after many years of fighting the system as a misguided missile - though he will freely admit that he doesn't always follow them as often as he should :) ]

"Free School" is movement from 60's 70's as education of life / practicing living and learning towards togetherness / DIY / Caring etc:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Mutuality, Education, and maybe Friendship can help WIN:WIN:WIN it for us all in this world ,,,or at least Fediverse first.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes #Caring #Politics #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites
...towards a more caring intelligent planet and better mindset of people...
Also here as a friendly person to encourage your own thoughts *and* action. More togetherness means more
Communication
to get there... Less means less possibility...
Build your dream(s) and maybe mine at the same time (both). I don't think there is another way around that without bad people and tools who pretend to do it for us killing things for profit while we pretend to be 'independent' and think we can undo things (more than let them cause more problems like #AI and people behind it who surely will).
I reply to your interests and you give some ideas... we do what we can and like... more freely / towards each other's freedoms.
Consider *developing people* in your work at the same time also - not just developing machine code, but decent people are the KEY to everything almost FOREMOST...
If life's people are machine-like and computer-orientated then don't complain if that's what you get as a cold Matrix system using computers and tech by Musk / Trump mostly since they have more leverage against everyone using banks also. In the end we lose with only tech! (yes computers are too fast and even #OpenSource and nice things get used badly and only can stop it by developing better people).
Working on better people is the better way at the end..
