My "apolitical" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt. What an odd word to use in the first sentence of your product description, which also includes the word "open", an inherently political concept in this context.

Did/does Nostr have some cryptocurrency connection or am I thinking of something else?

Right wingers have a long history of calling themselves apolitical.

This is really good to know. I’ve never personally run into this problem despite having the same hardware because I only ever put the final jpeg into apple photos and keep the camera output completely outside of the Apple ecosystem on a hard drive.

I think you misread. The GGP post did not differentiate by small or large, nor did GP

Hi, thank you for your comment. I have clarified that I was responding to both of the parent posts.

GGP started with "There isn’t a single business in existence" though.

Yeah, this is dead wrong.

I'll go in the other direction. With a few exceptions, it is unfortunately true that "a business" isn't just "a way to make money," it's VERY OFTEN "the only reasonable way to accomplish a big-ish goal involving multiple people."

I say this as someone who started a business incidentally, my father had a big project that he and I loved the idea of, and I knew I could put together a good team to do the web part of it, and so I did. Money was NOT the primary motivator.

You’re conflating small business and large business. The moment you have investors return on investment becomes the sole motivating factor and whatever humanity the organization had will be slowly squeezed out from the top down. This isn’t ideological, it is a legal principle. A corporation taking actions that harm returns opens them up to lawsuits.

Edit: worker owned coops don’t have this issue because they are definitionally managed from the bottom up.

Additional edit: the “you” in my post is doing heavy lifting I mean both the post I replied to and the one directly above it.
