ME + 4, CO-FOUNDERS ALL – a short #whimsy

#collegelane #liverpool #change Preamble 001 can pick how, what, where, etc. … but the when has to be soon. And I don’t want to bootstrap anything. Only the best. In everything.

i would like to have a future … does anyone have a good one?

I wrote recently about how the big brands possess such a monopolistic level of market stranglehold that they no longer need to care if we hate them: we are, even so, obliged to purchase their products and services. I have used this example before: with respect to a politics where we are fucked by it if we care, and fucked by it when we don’t. … Continue reading i would like to have a future … does anyone have a good one?
