Crudely, we would say "don't shit where you eat". I've heard from the early (as in, 80's) hacking days some of the people in the US would never hit targets in their own state, as there wasn't good federal-level

> Only founder led companies and family owned businesses can stand up to the immense pressure from the dogmas of modern finance. How about worker-owned companies, co-operatives, and collectives? I totally agree the problem is that with t

That's really cool! It looks like you're in the SFBA (or at least launched your boat from nearby), so are you familiar with Sofar and Saildrone? Do you have a way for people to follow what you're doing, or pitch in? I'd
