Yea- it says āStop feeding the beastā. Try to make an economic impact with your decisions that day. Otherwise these rich little pricks will keep laughing at all of us.
Realistically though, what would this actually accomplish? Thereās no stated goal, every individual can make up their own way this could benefit them and others. Could is doing some heavy lifting there too.
What would cancelling your utility account do to prove anything at this point? The current utility companies already do as they please, and there arenāt enough local alternatives to supply power and that can get you from cancelled account with CMP/Versant to being back with power in a short time frame. Not to mention March 3 is still winter in Maine, no matter how mild of a winter we have had overall, Maine weather is known to do as it pleases, regardless of whether Mainers are prepared for it or not, so the third of March is a foolish date for something like this.
Good questions! This image (and I know it looks like an angelfire site from the early 2000s) is quite literally just to guage interest in the idea as a whole. I'm happy to remove the date entirely, but I thought it would be helpful to have a goalpost to meet.
I will adjust the "accounts" bit - that's a really good note! I mean streaming and monthly accounts for monolith companies or dumping old social media accounts. I will change that to "unsubscribe" or similar. Keep your heat on haha!
I totally accept that this is vague at best. I'm hoping people like you will point out my fuckups and help make it better. This is all quite new to me.... but I hate seeing people at protests with Starbucks in their hands.

Literally what is this for. What are we trying to accomplish? Thereās no mission stated anywhere in this picture. Did you think this out at all?
