  • It seemed to me like he was thinking what an excellent opportunity to reach a new kind of audience to further the objectives of the teamsters.

    The attendees applauded a lot of statements, whether forced for pageantry or authentically, that is bound to get some gears turning.

    And those who didn’t applaud, well that’s a different useful signal.

    There’s really a lot of opportunity for workers advocate to get good messaging out to this crowd. I would also point out that his address was probably the most substantive one of the whole convention so far.

    The reality is Republicans will not disappear, they might even take majorities. Labor topics are super important to get out to them.

    I thought this whole play was really interesting.





  • I love these ideas but self hosting is simply not a solution for average citizens who aren’t skilled at such things. To them it would be like paving their own highway with bridges and also maintaining and policing them. It might be easy for you and me, but that’s because we have training and experience and we chose this way. It’s not a justifiable opportunity cost for most people.

    I think a different kind of org than the googles metas and Microsofts of the world is in need, like a compute & communications co-op that can actually compete on that level of capability offerings, accessibility, performance and security.
