Africa: Artificial Intelligence - Africa Governments Must Adopt, Adapt, and Indigenise, but Do Not Copy and Paste: [MFWA] An African aphorism says "When elders sit together, words are weighed, not counted."

#TwinCities Unions Planning ‘Largest US #RentStrike in 100+ Years’ as #ICEOccupation Drives #EvictionCrisis
“Tenants in #Minnesota are in a crisis,” said #Minneapolis City Council Member #AishaChughtai. “The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our #LocalEconomy.”
Stephen Prager, Feb 17, 2026
"Tenant and labor unions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have announced plans to carry out what they said would be the 'largest rent strike in the United States in the last 100 years.'
"Beginning on #March1, if Democratic Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz does not meet their urgent demands for an #EvictionMoratorium and #RentRelief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.
"The plans were announced on Tuesday by the tenants union #TwinCitiesTenants, which is joined by five labor unions: Service Employees International Union (#SEIU) Local 26, SEIU Healthcare Minnesota/Iowa, UNITE HERE Local 17, the Amalgamated Transit Union (#ATU) 1005, and Communication Workers of America (#CWA) 7250.
"They argued that a freeze on rents is desperately needed after 'nearly three months of federal occupation' under President Donald #Trump’s '#OperationMetroSurge,' which sent nearly 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) and other immigration agents to the area, resulting in multiple fatal shootings and a wave of #CivilRights violations, including explicit #RacialProfiling."

What if communities could meet most needs internally — through fair exchange, shared work, and simple internal credits — without creating speculation or replacing local currencies?
That’s how our decentralized token model works.

Pedestrians are shopping ninjas. They stop, browse, actually BUY things. Meanwhile, drivers are economic ghosts zipping past at 50km/h, contributing zero euros except when desperately searching for parking and cursing the universe. Yet somehow we still design cities for cars? #LocalEconomy
