@TimWardCam Yup, that's the one. Going to the IoT SF conference, and it's nice to hop off in the middle of London about 15 minutes walk from the venue.
@david_chisnall Also #Cambridge to Gatwick direct. No lugging suitcases around the tube any more.
Hmm, I have to take a train on the Brighton Line and I don't even have a handbag!
@david_chisnall I like that you can now travel between Brighton and #Cambridge without changing trains. (Or at least could in the before times, when I used to use public transport.)

That's why companies - like Snapchat - are insatiably horny to get you to switch from using websites to using apps.
Ultimately, I just don't think neoliberal economists believe in what they're selling. They don't want a market of "demand-signals" that can be used to guide allocations. They just want to help the greediest, worst people on earth screw you as hard as they can, all day long.
And then blame *you* for it.

Truly, everyone's a "rogue capitalist" now. It's almost like the problem with companies isn't whether their business model is based on showing you ads or charging you money, but rather, whether they can abuse you for profit and get away with it.

Blue Bonds are the good version of Trump's beloved shitcoins. Rather than wildcat money created by and for speculators, Blue Bonds are a source of public prosperity, backed by a present or future Fed under democratic control, accountable to the people. Trump and his fascist pals are all-in on creating as many forms of "money" as there are memes on the internet. Here, at last, is a form of novel money creation that builds a human, shared future.

The New Deal was a mere blip in the American project, but a century later, America's poorest, worst-served people are still reaping its benefits, with *far* faster, cheaper connections than you can get from the big telcos that have sewn up New York City and Los Angeles. And in some of those places, the public ISP doesn't just shower their subscribers with fast data - they shower them with *millions of dollars*.
