[9:24pm] jokeefe: I’ll check on the cost of a table when I email them about the mesh net
[9:26pm] jokeefe: if they don’t have space, we could just setup a table outside their area. would allow us to setup and take down when we want, though we would have to carry stuff out instead of leaving it overnight

[9:26pm] jokeefe: could do just two days that way, though
[9:26pm] jokeefe: Thank you. I need to make a deposit as well.
[9:27pm] Joe: If that is the case, I would rather just roam and do interviews. More moble.
[9:28pm] jokeefe: using the mesh net

[9:33pm] jokeefe: though related
[9:35pm] Joe: I support the movement, we need to stop it.
[9:36pm] Joe: But this is more of a EU matter than a US unfortunately
[9:36pm] jokeefe: what happens there will be promoted here, but we have things we are focused on at the moment
[9:39pm] jokeefe: So yeah, not enthusiastic support for doing something.
[9:39pm] Joe: I mean, I would love to help and I do support them.
[9:40pm] Joe: But beyond Twitter I don't see much we can do. Maybe make a video on it.
[9:41pm] Joe: I would be open to suggestions though
[9:43pm] Joe: What about the new tariffs by the president?
[9:43pm] jokeefe: Was thinking people could submit their own videos perhaps to badmirror.tv. will reach out to sevan
[9:44pm] jokeefe: but we should have a video on why we oppose the EU plans
[9:44pm] jokeefe: record it on the 26th?
[9:45pm] jokeefe: Re: tariffs: better he changed the laws that promote outsourcing, but that would hurt his donors
[9:47pm] Joe: Since you made the deposit for the Church, would you mind handling the rest of the payment?
[9:48pm] jokeefe: I can do that as an inkind. sure
[9:49pm] Joe: I was going to pay for it.
