It's so interesting to see how someone could so confidentially wrong and clearly show no knowledge of statistics.

Did I hallucinate several years of discourse about volunteer work on the internet should be paid? And that lefty types were yelling about how billionaire corps should compensate volunteer work because they clearly had money? Something start

I hate this thing where we can't do a thing that helps a ton of people, because it also helps people we hate. It's so poisonous to politics, and everyone does it for their pet peeve. Can't do permitting reform, can't fix

You need to have a price that is actually a barrier to consider. Low monthly fees attract terrible members that will cost you money and time and stress to deal with. So many problems at my local makerspace went away when they bumped up the
