Show support for TECHNOCRACY?

We are building the foundations for the future. It is enormously time consuming to run this site and the sacrifices required to do so are where the real cost reside. If you can help cover those costs, that would make you awesome!

time

A small slice of my data processing time each month

It's ongoing work running this service and what's really great is ongoing support. Here's a sense of what goes into this site: Research constitutional law and forms of government. Consult with lawyers on various constructs in law. Manage the Tech stuff: website, SEO, graphics, email, back-end servers, DNS routing, edge servers. Create advertisements and load the campaigns in Google Ads. Manage the social media forums (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter). Write updates to the constitution. Keep GitHub up-to-date.

coffee

$4.50 — A large cappuccino at my local

Things just work better with coffee! I like to take the kids to school then grab a cappuccino from my local on the way home before beginning the things that take mental energy.

movies

$8.99 — A month of Netflix for some quiet nights in

A lot of the work on this happens after hours when I should be relaxing on the couch. Help me make it so and I promise to keep off the devices for a bit!

email

$11.50 — Fund a month of email delivery

This site sends out tens of thousands of emails every month. For that volume and to ensure deliverability, I pay MailChimp each month.

AWS

$20 — Pay for one month of AWS storage fees

Websites are not free. The storage alone takes some cash. If you are willing to lighten the burden, we can keep this site up online.

artist

$30 — One hour's pay for a graphics artist

Art doesn't create itself without a hand to guide it. I can't draw, so I need to pay others to help.

developer

$45 — Pay a full-stack web developer for one hour

Much of the work on this site happens on weekends which means giving up time with the kids. Help me pay the developers so I can give my kids more time.

whiskey

$60 — A bottle of Nikka Black Reserve

A favourite routine after updating the site or the Constitution is to sit back with a glass of whiskey whilts re-reading the whole document and consider the consequences of each rule.

github

$80 — Fund my GitHub private repos for a year

I ended up shelling out for this specifically to support this project so that I could push changes quickly. A great investment too IMHO.

lawyer

$100 — Consult a constitutional lawyer for one hour

I need to consult specialist in law to consider aspects that others may not have thought about. Lawyers are not free. For Technocracy to advance, we need these specialist to collaborate and build the future. Lawyers also help connect with law makers to push forward our ideals into public discourse.

cash

$TBD — You decide how to support

Technocracy works, so you decide 🙂
