Re: PaySwarm-based Debian donations
Brian, what do you think of the successes of participatory budgeting in Porto Alegre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_budgeting?
Also doesn't that dailymail article state that it's mostly the upper classes that are tempted by the "mere smell" of money?
"One 2012 study by the University of Michigan showed that 'upper class individuals behave more unethically that lower-class individuals', which researchers said showed a more favorable attitude towards greed."
Are you suggesting that Tanc-Dunc (I had misspelled it in my first search and I'm getting up to speed) was about socioeconomic class, in that event?
