A simple twitterbot capable of complex neo-liberal economics.
Written in Ruby. Will run on Heroku. Requires a little config to work with your twitter account:
CONSUMER_KEY=YOUR_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
CONSUMER_SECRET=YOUR_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=YOUR_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
Here's what it does:
Every 15 minutes, it:
- chooses a European debtor nation (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain)
- finds a tweet that mentions something that nation has (
Irish stout,Italian Senate) - recommends that the debtor nation privatize that particular noun
So stupidly simple it almost seems like these policies wouldn't work...
