We can create nationalized, publicly-owned versions of literally every service you need in your life. Banking, internet, all of it can be utilities where no corporation is profiting off us!
Brasil also introduced the PIX payment system, a real-time payment infrastructure that rapidly displaced entrenched private monopolies like Visa and Mastercard.

If you can't (like me) make it to BKMN today, maybe a T-shirt will help assuage the pain . . . We have 12 days left of this campaign, stretch goals to reach, and loans to pay down — any help spreading the word appreciated!

And you can read my short "October dreams" here.
Propuesta complementaria a la de Michael Kelly: podéis elegir entre escuchar su precioso y hallowiano relato "Sueños de octubre" en inglés, como él dice, o leerlo en español en el blog. Cualquiera de las dos opciones, perfectas para hoy y mañana. cuentosparaalgernon.wordpress.com/2021/10/31/s...
