There are so many things wrong with the situation in the article.

I don’t want any misunderstandings, if I were a corrupt mess of a politician who would receive money from this, I would love it.

But as a small Texas citizen, I just see less money going to my community later, and worry about the increasing corruption that is more and more upfront

What are the details of the book? So I can get it via library… I want to know what happens on the next page. What about the spider mites ?

That is bad news not only for us, but any possible descendants of our human race

While I can easily imagine the USA splitting up, the fascists are in every community though.

I like the quote from Sontag

10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80 percent can be moved in either direction. / Susan Sontag

The problem with avoiding the fascists is that they are always everywhere at a low percentage; and a good society requires the equally low percentage of decent persons to convince the vast majority of people to not go rogue.

This requires good governance in local areas; and that is a finicky thing indeed. If the USA splits up, who knows how that goes? I would not put money on any region being bad or good in two generations

Yes, it’s not hard for a full stack developer to make. Probably a thousand people already in the fediverse can, including me.

But it cannot be hosted on USA controlled servers, and the developers need to find a way to be anonymous to USA offices

Edit: also some other issues. Cannot put it as an onion service because most people in the USA do not use tor. This means regular domain.

  • register domain where cannot be seized
  • server must be load balanced or using something like kubernetes
  • heavy traffic costs money , how to pay bills without crossing USA banking system? And cannot expose payers or contributors
  • where to host?

many people can build it, but most of us have no clue to the obstacles

I wonder how many members of the Texas government enrich themselves from this.

I will also hazard a blind guess and think this will be run like a Ponzi scheme

That is so true

Looking at the reviews, ignoring the mega hats, it seems part of the app does not work from time to time

Oh, I have stopped, as of today I am no longer engaging this debate. Hopefully this takes and I don’t spend energy while I figure out what to do
