We are swamped with technology. Data centers are draining our resources. There's not an infinite supply of the needs for over eight billion people on this planet. Musk seems to think it's his duty to personally increase the population as much as possible. Global warming is real, not a hoax. Humans face extinction, certainly, we are accelerating it every day with the ignorance that comes with hubris. Our problems multiply daily yet we carry on, fighting for the intelligence necessary to overcome the hapless people now planning the future. Don't give up should be the call of 2026 for all of us who value our freedoms over the amoral advocates for control who are now in power.

Anne,

Your reply is very kind and I thank you for it. 2026 will be a major turning point in the efforts to save our democracy. We must persevere and not give up. Share your enthusiasm for defending our freedoms with everyone you can. Be strong in your message of importance for the dangers are really threatening our future. Always remember history pays tribute to those who hold humanity as a higher value than money.

This walkout has to include cancelling media. Think Disney vs Kimmel. Think about what would happen if on January 20 we cancelled our subscriptions. Wouldn’t that send a bigly message?

Sustained protest works. Ask Europe. One-offs are just feel good stuff. Please organize sustained protest- many weeks in a row- in DC. Occupy Congress. Secondly, make the general strike you are planning last for at least a week. You have the platform- We the People will show.

Here in Uruguay, the 2012 census was conducted with pen and paper. Done in less than a month. The 2022 census was digitally made, with portable apparatus imported from Brazil. It lasted about 3 months, the computer system crashed several times, and left people witjout censing. The same with voting. When the votes were noted with pen and paper, everything went well. In the last elections, the computers programmed to inscribe the votes failed. Back to pen and paper. Besides, the vote would be inscribed in the Credencial Cívica, which had a chip for that. Impossible. A strip of paper with the proof of voting (voting is compulsory here) written down, as in pre-computer times, and handed to the voter. I wrap it around my CC, in case I am asked for it. Technology ... ha!
