The discussions with Manuel Schnabel and André Kraus have shown: We need better #communication between #TYPO3#teams/#initiatives. E.g. plans could overlap, experiences exchanged, etc. Want to #coordinate the hard facts regularly in an annual/semi-annual online meeting? #t3cmd
Watch out for bait-and-switch signature gatherers.
A guy in Civic Center had 4 measures, three CA and one SF. He presented them in a clever order. The first two were:
extend a temporary measure (I think it had been a good prop a few years ago) to fund and provide senior health care
fund medicine for children.
Both were sponsored by reputable-looking health care non-profits and advocacy groups.
Then he presented a measure that was completely incomprehensible and sponsored by the California Apartment Association (and nobody else). Maybe the CAA isn't always wrong, but it was impossible for me to tell in this case. Nope.
Finally, the SF measure would clearly and absolutely hamstring the ability of the SF government to, um, govern. Guess who the sponsor was. Michael Moritz. Nope so hard.
Be careful who you give your signature to. Read everything.
