[Noisebridge-discuss] that's all folks

[rachel lyra hospodar]

I personally believe the space began to seriously unravel upon the occasion
of the economic unraveling of the entire world, aka the biggest economic
crash in living memory, which epically gutted marginal and poor
communities, followed by a huge lopsided and region-specific economic boom
- which created an epicenter for monumental wealth disparity and growing
social discord.

I mean, it's fun to point fingers at each other's ideas or efforts as
Having Ruined Noisebridge, but I think acknowledging that the larger social
picture has an effect on us might alleviate the circle of
It-Was-Better-When and open up some space for good-spirited idea-sharing,
and learning from each other's differing perspectives.

Call me crazy.
