Received an email today from my local city government. Something about a new “service” for landlords, to keep track of fees and inspections. In other words, supposedly a more streamlined way to figure out who owes what to whom and when.
Oh? And just how many new employees were hired to figure this out? How far did one department expand with this one new service? How much did it increase local taxes?
How big will even “local” govern-ment (govern the mind) get?
I’d like to say, in response to today’s email, following Elon’s lead, FUCK OFF!

I’ve long lived by the motto: “Live below money, as far as possible.” Below money; in the nitty-gritty land of human-to-human exchanges, mutual generosity, cooperation, in concert with mother nature, our teacher.
Yes! Let us learn from her trees!
