And here’s another one: paying attention to your shareholders instead of your customers is like your parents supported you throughout your life to allow you to progress, and when you’re able to buy your first home you only invite the bank manager who gave you the mortgage to the inauguration. I mean, again, talking about being ungrateful with those who made you who you are… 🙄

Ah, yes - #MayorLurie and his cronies 100% support the #Abundance hypothesis. Why are they so fond of the #RentierEconomy? Maybe when you can afford market rate prices, it'll work for you? But it seems to fail a significant number of San Franciscans.

"Ambulances were once considered a public good and were funded by the federal government. But in 1981, the Reagan administration transformed funding for emergency medical transportation into limited block grants which states could then spend as they wish."

Excellent story (as usual) from @pluralistic (Cory Doctorow) on Medium: https://doctorow.medium.com/zucks-gravity-defying-metaverse-money-pit-364530ddec0b
Delves into post-capitalist technofeudalism with a focus on meta and the metaverse, with sidebars on Uber and other tech-bro rentier enterprises. Very entertaining. Very true. Very depressing.
Boost if you believe Cory's right about all this.
