QuoteJesus only had 12 Disciples. I'm doing better than that. :)
The Roman army is definitely on our ass. But my buddy wants to know if you would die for the Diner?

44 or 440 members won't move the needle on anything but, we start influencing way before 44 million.
If we were to grow I will experiment with ways to keep a large group active and discussing. We will be more dangerous to the status-quo at 4.4 million than any You-Tube channel at 44 million. Why, because participation here will be more than passive viewing.
If we get to 44K members I would quit my part time job and spend my time improving the Doomstead experience. I would not just go commercial and spend all my effort trying to get us more viewers. I would improve the experience.
At 44K it would be time to get members meeting each other. At 440K, we make our presence known in respectful, but active ways. At 44M we take over and the nation starts using our ideas. By then we really are a majority, and we have the Zeitgeist. 44M here would not be the same as 44M watching Joe Rogan with a can of beer in their hand.
Now I will smoke some more good shit.
