RE: The corporate confiscation of culture

in #life7 years ago

Very true and well put. Inspiration is not something you see all that often being given to people. It's something I've noticed in the past few years in my town especially. We used to have all sorts of shops for electronic hobbyists, for people that liked metalworking and woodworking, in general shops that gave people the means to creat something themselves. They're all gone now. Replaced by clothing stores, phone stores, or worse, sports betting parlors, pawn shops and pubs, usually right next to each-other. There's few things left to remind people that they can do things on their own.
Thank you for the upvote.

Fortunately, my little town still has plenty of places to buy stuff. Sure, you have to drive to the next town over for good wood but I have at least 2 home improvement shops within walking distance, 3 shops for arts and crafts and at least four for sewing and knitting. All have courses and stuff. We actually have more of those around town than cellphone shops. :)
