104: Sabotage

Sabotage is the deliberate disruption, obstruction, or impairment of work in order to harm or pressure an employer, organization, or authority. In labor conflicts, it can serve as a covert form of resistance or protest, interfering with normal operations rather than confronting those in charge openly.

103: Parity

Parity is a state of equality between two or more parties in a particular respect, such as status, rights, obligations, or terms of exchange. It does not necessarily mean that the parties are identical, only that they stand on equal terms in the aspect being compared.

Honestly this whole mining rescue thing is the kind of thing that looks REALLY good for Public Relations. I bet Chief will use that social capital somewhere down the line.

Make the public believe that he is on their side because he ‘funded efforts’ to save those miners.

Gabital, That's what I'm waiting for. What happens when playing nice doesn't serve his purposes? I keep waiting for that facade to drop.

Gabital 100: (Denial of) Humanitarian Aid

Humanitarian aid is assistance intended to save lives, reduce suffering, and protect people during emergencies, disasters, armed conflicts, or other crises. Denial of humanitarian aid occurs when someone with the ability to provide or permit such assistance deliberately prevents it, often citing legal, economic, administrative, or property-related reasons and placing formal rights or private interests above urgent human needs.

99: Factor-driven adaptation of production

Factor-driven adaptation of production is the adjustment of a production system to changing conditions by altering how its productive resources are used. These resources, known as factors of production, include raw materials, equipment, labour, and organization - in this case, lumber, the sawmill, the workers, and the co-op.

How is Gabi going to respond?

Also, would you ever consider selling a PDF of this? I'd love to be able to read it in one go and support the series.

anything special coming for the big triple digits?
and is there any knowledge how many more there will be, before it's complete

Jul 31 00:46

Gabital

Darkened Shadow, Well, the story does... take some turns, but nothing truly special at #100 yet. We just recently discussed that very question and can't place a specific number of issues yet. VERY rough average would be at maybe 70-80, but that's my own assumption gauging from the conversation, can't say for certain.

97: Public education

Public education is the process of teaching and sharing knowledge to improve people’s lives and contribute to the development of society.

P.S. The members of the artel and their families are part of society too.

OFF TOPIC:

Recently, I have been directing more of my purchases towards cooperatives.

Generally, you might have to first become a member before you can be a customer.

Each cooperative defines a minimum number of required shares. Usually, you can buy more though.

When profit distributions happen, they are done proportionally to shares.

But..

1) Every member has one vote, regardless of share count. Meaning: one person with 2 shares, and another with 200 have the same vote-power.

2) The cooperatives can have in their constitution, "X% of profit goes towards [special topic]."

3) They can offer usage-based rebates. For example, a cooperative grocery store. If at the end of the year, they have profit, instead of distributing via dividends, they can refund it to members by amount spent at the store, proportionally.

I think these things cut into capital based distributions. 🤷🤔

I have joined:
* vegetable coop
* retail coop
* electricity coop

But I still need to migrate my consumer behaviors..

Ralph S. (Assistant to the Emperor of Borgo), Consumer co-op it is, then! Hope the community is great over there (and by extension, the veggies)

Me too, buddy, that's a sadly universal thing

95: Restructuring

Restructuring is a change to the terms of an existing loan agreement. It may lower interest, delay payments, or stretch them over a longer period, making the debt easier to bear - while still preserving the creditor’s claim.
