always been a fan of this buckminster fuller quote

quote:

We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.

it ain't perfect ("go back to school" is awful narrow, expand that to "pursue hobbies, passions, art", something like that) but the overall sentiment is right

It would be nice if everyone spent this time working on themselves and developing hobbies and coping skills and learning to use resources efficiently but lol that is never going to happen.

I would be having a much better time of it if I could do some of this instead of being unproductive as I wfh, getting distracted and then having to work later to make up for it.

At least the commute is nice, though, and my personal monitors are better than the junk at work :gbsmith:

society is too far hosed.

if we had invested in tech so wages were high and property was low coz it wasn�t used as an investment, we could work less and enjoy life

as it stands tho wages are too low and rent too high due to society draining property investment

is it even possible to turn around

some enterprising party promoter is going to get hosed

quote:

Don't get any ideas about throwing speakeasy-style parties during San Francisco's shelter-in-place order, party people! San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera is making an example of one such party scheduled for Friday which was selling $5 tickets on Eventbrite.

The party was titled "Lehar (Multinotes, Diynamic, Afterlife)," and in defiance of city and state emergency orders to enforce social distancing, it was supposed to happen at 251 Rhode Island Street on March 27, and there were apparently VIP packages being sold for $780 with "two premium bottles" and a special booth. The Eventbrite listing indicated that 200 presale tickets were being sold.

"There have been many acts of decency, kindness and quiet heroism as San Franciscans try to keep their neighbors safe during this pandemic. This party, unfortunately, isn�t one of them," says Herrera in a statement. "How someone acts in a crisis says a lot about them. The individuals behind this party have either completely failed in their responsibility to the public, are engaged in a cynical scheme to rip off people knowing this event will never happen, or are putting lives at risk in a dangerous attempt to profit off a public health emergency. All of those are unacceptable. Putting 200 people together in a club is the exact wrong thing to do right now."

The party promoter allegedly told police that the party had been canceled, however the Eventbrite listing stayed up through Wednesday morning and no apparent notice had been given to people who had purchased tickets.

There seems to be reason for concern that this promoter was going to try to continue being sneaky with this event, according to the SFPD. Police Chief William Scott said in a statement, "Local businesses have been overwhelmingly cooperative with the shelter in place orders now in effect... Unfortunately, it appears there may be scofflaws who either don't know or don't care. Today's preemptive move by City Attorney Dennis Herrera sends a strong message to any would-be wrongdoer that City agencies are working in close coordination to enforce the emergency order and protect public health."

Herrera says that his office is seeking information from the property owner about the promoters of the party, and warns that if the property owner does not make sure the event is canceled they will be held liable for violating the public health order � which comes with a fine of $1,000 and up to a year in jail.

i had to google the date and i thought "wait what"

now THAT was a loving party.

i went into the local grocery store that was running on backup generators the first night, so I could get beer. It was dark in the store, debit/credit didn't work, and people were just cracking open beers and booze in the store and drinking them as they shopped, leaving empties on random shelves.

it ruled.

it's pretty, and it's nice enough overall. definitely has its eccentricities, and i'm glad i'm in vermont where we have a sensible stay at home order and are coordinating a good response instead. i'm wondering if it'd be safer to shut down restaurants entirely, even if it's just curbside / drive-thru pickup. some will have trouble getting meals if they do though

everything they show in that video is "reasonable exercise with [presumably] people you already live with," i.e. the one sort of outdoor activity the experts are saying is a-ok
