I'm going to push back on this.

I work for a nonprofit, and we do our absolute best with what we can get. I'm fixing houses for people in my community. Getting heat into homes for single moms, getting ramps installed for elderly folks, and making their homes energy efficient.

Are there bad ones? Yeah. Hell yeah. But it's a model that can work for small organizations, because - properly run - it's not making anyone a profit.

Sure I have a board. They're a hell of a network.

It's an organization that's been in my community for 50 years, yeah. But now me and my ADHD crew are coming in and pushing buttons and making waves because we see how it could be. I can get boots on the ground for my ideas, an organization to support it, and some community recognition with good context attached to it - because we're a nonprofit.

Montana has the largest per capita nonprofit count though, with decent reputations, so maybe we just do it different than you urban folk.

Schools are just training for employment, right? If the capitalists get their way, guess that's what employment looks like. AI "assisted" gig work to the lowest bidder. Cyberpunk here we come.

Technology will not save us from the climate crisis. We must do that work ourselves.

Technology will help us get through the climate crisis, because we are humans and we use tools.
