Apr. 18th, 2018 03:40 pmI'm trying to be a political activist and fix some of the things that are wrong around me. I am also trying to build a dream of how to have a world where we do our societal maintenance on time and fewer things go wrong.
This morning I set up meetings with 3 candidates, and met with one of them, and got some good homework out of the meeting. This evening I go to the HCAO Clackamas meeting and see what progress we've made in trying to set up decent healthcare. Right now I could be calling architects to find a sponsor for the arcology project, and I can't get my head far enough out of the other things to do so. So I find myself playing FreeCiv instead, which bugs me.
I only keep the one game on my computer, because I *want* "playing games" to be boring. It should provide a break from thinking, but be unexciting enough that I'm eager to get back to work. And instead I'm here explaining to you why the games are boring, which kinda defeats the purpose.
I'm not going to solve this one right this minute. (Unlike healthcare, for which "medicare for all" is workable but not the best approach. Let's try turning over medicare to the VA, and let *them* do it, and see how that works. They've been working for longer with less; I'd love to see what they could do if they were fully funded.)
Back to it.
