[Noisebridge-discuss] Buycott and the graph problem

[J Perez]

Buycott is awesome!  Freedom for the people.  I think this will work much

anything.  It's a tangled mess, but hopefully as more information becomes
available, the masses can use their collective strength more effectively.

Thanks Andrew!
