PugJesus"Penny Auction" at a farm, with a noose as a warning to bank agents who might attempt to bid, Michigan, USA, Great Depression, 1936
PennomiSadly in this digital age it’s impossible for a community to band together like this any more
LaunchesKayaksLmao what the fuck are you on about? The digital age makes it so much easier for communities to band together.
I went to a no kings protest organized entirely online in a DEEPLY red area and HUNDREDS of people showed up and hundreds more driving by shouted their support.
My tiny town organizes community events online, with the help of businesses and locals.
The little horse community that I’ve gotten to be part of communicates almost entirely online because the farms we board at are far apart.
The Internet can definitely be divisive, but it’s also a wonderful place for creating and fostering community.
Ah, you missed my responses to other people. I was referring to this specific thing - you can’t keep a property auction local any more. If you tried to do a penny auction, some private equity firm from another state would just sweep in and buy the property online.
