Anti-Capitalist Meetup: Innovate waste to placate the marketplace [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-05 Take a walk around your local home improvement outlet and see how do-it-yourselfers are upgrading the environment. What a difference it would make if most of them made one more trip outside the store and picked up a piece or two of waste instead of dropping more. Why would do-it-yourselfers or anybody else driving around strip malls pick up trash? It’s not their property or job. It’s the commons in some right of way easement restoration drain. Why aren’t owners paying staff to do that? Why should owners take on more crap jobs for low paid workers to complain about? Among my mistakes, I asked managers at local stores to do something once or twice. If anything is done, it just get pushed to workers. Sorry to crew who got thrown out there to clean up waste. A revolutionary innovation for drinkers and streets, shots of liquor, to go, on sale, use responsibly, producers don’t Try calling and emailing about it. Good luck getting noticed among the advice, poll, and solicitor calls. Those are features anyway of a hardy market economy. Communications lines are markets that need to be fully mined for all possible advances. You never know what the next candy crush or lawsuit scam will be. Users must be explored. Don't worry about your privacy or where your online output ends up. Your entire profile could be discarded or sold for business. It’s the small price we pay for innovative communication. Besides, savvy communicators use blocking services and features. What more could possibly be done about any difficulties surgeons might encounter in scheduling calls over phone lines? Legislating decent phone registration records could be a step. People could tell callers to stop and deal with waste removal from communication commons one piece at a time. We could act through regulation and citizen participation, but wouldn't innovative owners be best at deciding how to use vital lines of communication? Try keeping up with the phone, software and security. What more could anybody ask for. We need the latest night time camera and social media app updates. The marketplace needs customers, especially of the loyal repeat kind. Phone cameras need to be innovated or we’ll fall behind. How else could we treat cyber commons than as a marketplace? I can diary on my own web site all I want. Nobody but my own selfish social connections drives me here. I checked the terms of service, didn’t I? Benefits, then, of social grounds go to owners, advertisers, investors and dictators. It’s all gotta be monetized anyway if it truly is an important innovation, doesn’t it? Unless and until we take it democratically, probably. Why shouldn’t investors decide where resources go? Who better than those who know markets? Good luck and riddance if the market of investors chooses against you. Waste of human lives is necessary to keep innovator lords telling us what we want. Blame other races and religions, but not finance. Human lives will be wasted as long as we keep quiet and go along. It is all of our commons. We control it or give control away through government. Don’t look and it is still there. Waste generators might prefer you don’t look. Not just because of the pollution, but also because of the great power and control of determining distribution through commons. It is our commons. Our government is good enough to manage it. We need to participate in government to keep it honest. Private owners and investors, as part of their right to self interest, will exploit and abuse commons as a rule. Other systems have worked in which commons were managed for the community. Why are we letting so much wealth stick with owners, investors and speculators? Why are investors and financial interests given so much power to decide what we make and where it goes? As far as I can tell, it won’t change until we make things happen through organized impacts on revenues and unified actions of noncompliance to ruler terms.
