Maybe govt officials should be paid on the basis of how much they increase average citizen income, national competitiveness and other performance indicators, like CEOs of companies.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_o…

That might put a stop to politicians who are running for office promising to actually make everyone poorer in the name of some ideology. How many are today running on the platform of "managed decline"?

As each candidate vies to make everyone poorer the professional claques clap the harder like scene from a Stalinesque speech. Why are they clapping? Have we gone mad?

If you're angry about the recent deletion of articles by @jesswade from #Wikipedia, there is a way to help. Of course, that way is also open to you if you are not angry about those deletions: Help to edit Wikipedia. 1/n

After all, Wikipedia is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit"! Only that it's not that simple, of course. It's easy to become enthusiastic about contributing to Wikipedia, start editing, have some really frustrating encounters with other members of the community, and 2/n

then leave because who needs that kind of aggravation when they are just trying to volunteer for something? This thread is about how to do good things on Wikipedia and avoid at least some of the frustration-inducing pitfalls. 3/n

@uplcchicago

Thank you, @uplcchicago and @correctionsproj for this work. The data is extraordinarily valuable toward understanding and eventually abolishing the prison industrial complex.

My specific interest is gathering the facts needed to organize a boycott of companies that use prison labor.
