Wearing my "Focus, Simplify, Kill" T-shirt. The most direct, simple and fat-free product advice I've ever had. Now just a product mantra.

I want everyone to be welcomed and to have equal opportunities, without fear. I don't want that to sound crazy. I want it to be normal.
I don't want a militaristic society, or one that sees profit as a social good. I don't want a society that allows people to be homeless.
I grew up with socialized medicine & free education, & I know they work. I want a peaceful, diplomatic foreign policy. I believe in unions.
@jgmac1106 @ganeumann Also, infrastructure and people have value in edu; software doesn't, really. Interesting to dig into why.

@jimgroom Aww, I used to live round the corner from that. Memories.
Further: I was brought up to be anti-fashion not because it's "feminine", but because it's inherently separating and elitist.
Interesting take on Apple and culture; a lot of people still think of them as closed, disempowering and expensive. http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/apple-at-forty-steve-jobs-led-us-to-the-fourth-dim...
