Among the many reasons: because they can censor the ledger to make it impossible for you to pay for the vegetables you prefer to smoke.

Or shut off your PayPal, or block your business from taking credit cards, because they personally find your business unsavory, and soon you won't be able to take cash because there's a worldwide push to get rid of it, and many other reasons.

How's PorcFest going?

  Oh, it's so absolutely lovely. (Do we know each other? Or did you just read somewhere that I was going? Or just divine it from comments?) Although this is my 4th, I haven't been to the last seven in a row. From 2014 to 2021, it has changed substantially in some ways (many more women and people of color, for example) and stayed almost identical in others (feral children starting businesses to be able to buy toys and ice cream, etc). This is the first time I've had the bus, so we have a little more creature comfort than before. Have you been before? I highly, highly recommend it. Hard to find a place to surround yourself with a higher concentration of loving / accepting energy.
