The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is now running a campaign to require that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. The reason being that if it is public money, the code should be public as well. General benefits include overall tax savings, increased collaboration, public service, and fostering innovation. Money is currently being wasted on code that cannot be modified or even studied, let alone redistributed. Code paid for by the people should be available to the people!

Getting there. I'm not the only one saying it. I didn't even bring it up to this other person I speak with, and they came up with the idea of shooting the entirety of the 1% to get real change in America. Heck, that's reality. We now have Superman in the comics defending the homes and lives of the 1%. A fucking comic book now is trying to push back against it.
From the human perspective, killing the heads and investors of the congloms is preferably to letting them continue to kill the planet, and waging war on the poor.
Yeah. Pretty close. If civil war broke out tomorrow, I already know I'm not choosing other disillusioned pissed off workers to shoot. I'm choosing the board of directors of the local "health plan" that live like kings off what is supposed to be our medical care. I'm choosing the head of PG&E for his culpability in all the lives lost in the natural gas explosion, while he got a million dollar pay raise that year. I will choose the people truly responsible for the hell on Earth that we live now.
If civil war did break out, I would look into stealing a ton of money and paying the Yakuza to assassinate the 1% that escapes. Much better than finding some poor person I disagree with and proceeding to killing each other while the 1% survive like the hell bound cockroaches they are.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
