I can buy a street legal golf cart for about $8,000; there is a decent market in parts of the USA for them. There were articles back in '08 suggesting that Americans use them as second cars in sunbelt suburbs as a cheaper alternative to a full car.

It depends. If you’re an independent contractor working for a company, you could be considered to be operating a business from your home.

The line has gotten blurry, especially after COVID.

Depending on the jurisdiction.

No businesses from home is a relatively common condition in a lease and co-op ownership contract, especially if the business involves people constantly visiting the home or turns the mailroom into a warehouse.

It is the equivalent of a lease banning a person from setting up an Airbnb in the unit they rented.

I liked this one as an interesting take on Make Some Noise and everyone seemed vested in actually competing. However, I guess I’ve gotten used to the show ramping up it’s weirdness factor to where the show felt like it belonged in an earlier season.

I don’t think she made any long distance calls with their phones.

I would think you’d be bisexual.

That was who found the body.

I said one without the other feels counterproductive. If you can mobilize a few percentage of the voting public who will vote for who you say, you are far more likely to get included within the political process to create legislation and policy to your looking, which is the point of organizing.

I don’t see why someone would throw away a tool to implement change they are pushing for.

Organizing, showing up to government events, meeting with government officials, trying to verify government claims, demonstrating at key times if demands aren’t being met, trying to convince others why your cause is just, developing candidates and running them if an existing candidate isn’t worth it.

I think it is very counter productive. After all, you’re trying to get a political goal implemented. Why wouldn’t you want to influence which people make the decisions?

The usual issue I see with people complaining about workaholics is time commitment, not emotional availability.

A story’s retelling is as much about the time it is told as it is the original telling.

Nolan is saying a lot about the USA in this story.

Regarding organization, BLM was organized how many years and didn’t get its political goals implemented? I bring up BLM because that is what the article is about.

There were protests for months and the burning of a police station, but then what? Why wasn’t BLM able to sustain a political movement long enough to actually fix the problem?

I hear a lot of people saying to focus on protest and organization instead of voting, but did that get anything actually done? Hell, Trump is back as President in part because leftist organizations pulled support and said both parties were the same.

I usually don’t use it.

I understand you’re talking through the process, which is what I’m asking about.

I look at it as, if it gets to that point, there is a significant amount of risk that the right team will win and then there is a significant amount of risk that the right team will actually do what they are saying. It then gets into what other actions are out there which are viable and which other actions are easier to implement.

I feel like people forget there was a lot of violence and bloodshed over civil rights and that was political action through non-violent means. There also becomes the issue where a political movement has to implement the policies they are supporting; policies requiring greater government involvement require better administrators than what is currently out there and there will be tradeoffs.

And there will be conflict, but it is a lot easier to win a conflict with an army of voters than to try to muster an actual army.

Even then, the agreement has led to a dysfunctional devolved government and conditions of the agreement which are in jeopardy due to Brexit.

How would revolution work?

And if there is a civil war in the USA between anarchists and fascists, I expect that the fascists will be better funded.

Don isn’t that annoying.

To add to what you’ve said, Microsoft has effectively abandoned physical media as well, with Nintendo being the last hold out whom is constantly lambasted for their prices. Computer gaming had completely abandoned physical media for over a decade.
