Dear Parents,

We are pleased to announce that Adams Middle School has partnered with Live Nation to make it easier for you to purchase tickets to the upcoming Seventh-Grade Band Concert and all future performances, including the much anticipated Waiting for Godot: The Musical, written by our own Ms. Kelley. The cost of all tickets will still be just $5, plus a convenience fee of $20.95, a processing fee of $1.17, an equity tax of 0.2% of your gross annual income, a translation fee of $4.22, a hazard abatement surcharge of $0.22, a mandatory concession purchase of at least two burned brownies and one cookie with giant generic-brand M&Ms that taste like peas for $12, an optional upgrade of $42 for seats where you can actually see your child, and local sales tax of $0.42 (which I should note is not the company’s fault).

#CoFi is now a thing!

Report on the first Collaborative Finance Gathering at the Commons Hub, Austria, May 22-28, 2023.

It was an honour to be asked by the Commons Hub to design a conference and I took the opportunity to bring together crypto-people with some working on more traditional complementary currency innovations. I arranged the mornings so that each one covered a different 'structure' of credit (a taxonomy I have yet to write about), namely mutual credit, mesh credit (i.e. ripple/trustlines systems), local voucher systems, and multilateral offset clearing, in which invoices are aggregated and cancelled out as far as possible.

US citizen Gonzalo Lira faces a long prison term in Ukraine for criticizing the country’s government. Shunned by the US government, his father is fighting to stop the “slow death of a son.” When US media have demonstrated any interest in the arrest of an American citizen, Gonzalo Lira, it has been primarily to celebrate his prosecution on the grounds that he has been “shilling for Putin.” The US State Department, meanwhile, refuses to answer questions about the disappearance of […]
