Having built a system that is destructive of the environment that surrounds and sustains us, we are now proposing to change … the environment!
Driving us towards this technological fix is the damage inflicted by existing technology.

« Le fascisme ne se lève pas comme la tempête en une nuit. Il est d’abord rampant, dissimulé, ordinaire. Il progresse par les voix de la haine, avivée par les difficultés économiques. Il s’empare des cœurs avant de pervertir les esprits puis de prendre le pouvoir. »

CA just banned price fixing via algorithm across the economy!

As corporations weaponize this technology to rip off consumers and hurt competition it's great to see @governor.ca.gov sign AB 325 to stop this practice!

Here's our own Lee Hepner testifying in support of the bill earlier this year👇
