Original Summary

The World Wide Web worked pretty good by the year 2000. Maybe there were still blue screens, but you could call your ISP and add a domain that you had already paid for and all you had to do was create an extra directory for its Pages. Seriously, I was there, and Bob was your uncle. Now we are all orphans. When the World Wide Web was created, everybody was on Yahoo. I was there. I uploaded my Web URL, and I was in business. True most of my customers came through a few few blurbs on usenet… and one or more magazine ads. But eventually money and cronyism takes everything away from the public. But it’s not about advertising, it’s about having a free market. The reason I’m talking to you now is because this website is a tiny piece of the free market. There are some jobs for sale, and readers could apply, so there’s some labor for sale. You’ve heard a whole lot about Spam. Spam is a lie. There is no pork on the Internet. You can see pictures, you could buy it, you could study. It’s financial futures. But there is no pork. It doesn’t fit through the wire. What there is is a potential free market, and a massive racket. What is a racket? Well when you advertise on social media, you’re pushing other people down. If you push yourself in, you push everyone else down. That’s a cock fight. Two chickens in the ring, tearing each other’s eyes out. Perfect… But not a free market, it’s a giant arm around the neck of the people. They are strangling every business, forcing them to spend money, and then more money because the other business spent money, and then more money because the other business had to spend more money too. And guess who pays for it? I’ll give you a hint… If you’re still reading it, it’s you. No these are not the kind of problems mirror mortals can solve. So maybe we all need to pray more. But I think this is considered a hack community… that is, if you’re wearing a white hat, you’re somebody who does a lot of work. And it’s complicated work. Which I guess adds to the weight. It’s hackers who made the World Wide Web. But I think we have all let it slide. We need to protect the free market, in fact, we need to create a free market. Google is just a gauntlet of useless criteria, like you’re blinking and you’re dinghy and your font and whether you have a blog… in order to be a free market, it has to be equal random and verifiable. You don’t know what basket you’re gonna walk past in the marketplace. If you search for apples, you might get seller a, B or C. I know they pretend to make it fair. But we also have cancer culture, PayPal disrupts my transactions. Their excuses are not important here, my email provider used to slam my email for 24 hours if I emailed more than 95 customers at once. Which quite honestly is gonna be 50% spam folder, 30% ignored 50% unconsciously deleted… If you want to buy and sell things, there must be a free and fair market.<p>And that also includes speech. I don’t know if anyone will see my message here. Having just logged in it’s difficult for me to even have a normal pattern of logging in. I can hardly afford to maintain a new community. But you should be aware that America used to be a free market economy. And now it’s an unregulated closed racket economy. (See part 2 for needed changes)
