This story seems to play out a lot with the US govt. Likely due to the lack of any real long-term planning.

  1. Oh no China is taking some of our control over X
  2. Do nothing for a while
  3. Scramble to stop China from completely taking over X
  4. Waste billions on propaganda, cost everyone money via tariffs, sanctions, bans, etc
  5. Realize it was never going to work and give up
  6. Do nothing for a while
  7. Start at step 1 again

DHMO asphyxiation is the leading cause of death amongst sailors in the US Navy. Support our troops and write to your senators to ban DHMO today!

Software development cooperatives? (hexbear.net)
 

I've looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren't many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it's hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what's up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place

You know what? I agree; billionaires from across the country should gather at this one location at a specified time and date to hold a vigle for him in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net
