    Yea, it’s funny because when I heard about them, I heard they made a cookbook after closing down. Like Miyoko’s new books. That it was just a local shop.

    I only found the site from looking for the cookbook and found out they are still running and ship now.

    I think they exploited the psychological bias that n=all.

    They do it for elections and they do it for major news media.

    When people see these candidates they believe all the issues are represented and organized for.

    When people see news coverage they believe that all stories have made it into the news cycle.

    Even at the lower frequencies. For elections that could be independents or fringe politics. For news that could be local news stations or even social media.

    The truth is many many issues aren’t being represented and Many many more stories have not been told. If you look at what the national insurance pool does it could be said many are being suppressed.

    That’s also true for the courts.

    We’ve decided that votes save Democracy (or it could be anything else). What I have not seen represented on the National level is why we are so addicted to votes to saving democracy (or your urgent issue) and if there are better systems.

    Have you never had an obvious issue it seemed wasn’t reaching the national level?

    Have you ever asked yourself who’s missing?

    From candidates. From news stories. From landmark legal cases.



  • I have been trying to start my own FIRE blog.

    Already got the domain, but I was going to use the email for another project. I’d been requesting a public record from a disposable (public) email address and the email messages keep getting deleted. What’s strange is this kept happening on a new email. So I’m thinking the City did it. Thinking of using that blog email for a request, so I can catch them doing it on a dummy site.

    I’ve been using Profit First for a year and it’s been great. Highly recommend it if you have a business or do freelance. Even for regular work I think it’s great. I learned about it in Finance for the People which is another great book.

    I personally prefer knowledge over capital. So I was realizing a blog would be the best way to showcase that if my consulting grows. Also planning a news offshoot site. There are stories the news doesn’t cover and I was pulling public records and doing data analysis on them and realized other people might have deeper stories.

    I got one related to towed vehicles and City Insurance Pools (nationwide). Then a new one related to Crypto since my State began taking crypto from Coinbase accounts sometime recently. Each story is done completely. If you’re familiar with Thinking in Systems, these stories don’t have the usual boundaries. The gap I wanted to fill was lawyers and journalists saying things weren’t related, when I was finding these things are very related. I don’t think they realize they are making systems collide by ignoring them in mass.

    I think there are easy problems to showcase and even solve that would make FIRE easier for everyone.

    This month is Huntober for 100Devs.

    I’m studying and seeing if I have a 100 hours project for some of these coffee chats. Looking to get a Senior Software Engineer position around March 2027.

    Here are the approaches I utilize the most.

    Alongside Weekly Finance Time from Finance for the People and the spending plan.

    This High Agency read is pretty good too. A Huntober homework assignment.
