Preston Maness ☭Went down a <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/CharterSchool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CharterSchool</a> rabbit hole today after mapping one in <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/osm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#osm</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenStreetMap</a>. It really is just one big grift, isn't it? Nominally, "non-profits" "run" the school, but in reality, the vast majority of the expenses for the "non-profit" are payments to a for-profit entity that "leases" its employees to the "non-profit" school. And the vast majority of the "non-profit's" "revenue" is "state program revenue," i.e., your tax dollars.Fucking disgusting.<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#texas</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/dfw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dfw</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/FortWorth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FortWorth</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Benbrook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Benbrook</a>

Preston Maness ☭<a href="https://mastodon.social/@charlesgaba" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@charlesgaba</a> For <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/tx12" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tx12</a>, Craig Goldman (R), who represents me... only half of our constituents get healthcare through employers. The rest either don't have it at all, or get it through government-arranged options.<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/FortWorth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FortWorth</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Benbrook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Benbrook</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#texas</a>

Preston Maness ☭Put in 10 hours of mapping/surveying with <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/StreetComplete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StreetComplete</a> and <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/OsmAnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OsmAnd</a>. Got a whole lot added. Mapped out every business on the eastern side of Benbrook Boulevard. Also mapped out the sidewalks on the eastern side. Tomorrow I'll try and do the western side. This is a major corridor of Benbrook with a bunch of businesses, so having them all on the map, and updated/fleshed out, should be helpful for folks.<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Benbrook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Benbrook</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/FortWorth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FortWorth</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/dfw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dfw</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/osm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#osm</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenStreetMap</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/gis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gis</a>

Preston Maness ☭I did my civic duty of exercising my rights today. I walked up and down Benbrook Boulevard this morning with this sign. Got about a dozen gestures of encouragement from motorists, and only one encounter with an officer who asked if I could speak with him for a couple minutes. I politely declined and he was fine with that and kept on driving.Rights are like muscles: they atrophy if left unexercised for too long.<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/luigi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#luigi</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/UnitedHealthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnitedHealthcare</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/DenyDefendDepose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DenyDefendDepose</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Benbrook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Benbrook</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/FortWorth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FortWorth</a>
