Kobo has it’s own ebook store, plus it connects with Overdrive (outdated version of Libby) to handle library checkouts.

Kobo is also really easy to sideload books on to, so you can, you know, just get them from wherever…

I do understand the internal logic of an EV tax to compensate for lost gas taxes for road maintenance. But making electric vehicles less cost effective speeds up our increasingly likely impending ecocide. So I kinda feel like you can make up the tax deficit elsewhere.

It’s a shame that we don’t treat deaths from political violence the same way we treat other deaths.

By allowing oligarchs to continue owning the means of production (and wealth, control of the state, etc.), whereas workers will have lost labor to withhold.

The oligarchs will give us just enough UBI to not riot. It’s going to be used as a bribe to keep them in power. That’s my issue with calls for UBI; they permanently entrench class dynamics. Our only (peaceful) leverage as workers to improve our conditions is to withhold our labor. If AI actually succeeds in mass unemployment, we lose that and we’ll be forever at their mercy.
