Yo nostr, doing the #introductions thing. This is my intro to social media, it all seemed like a time vacuum so I avoided it altogether but the integration of Bitcoin and the v4v concept got me interested. Aside from the coin I'm into the standard things, eating steaks, freedom, spreading misinformation. I also do hobby gunsmithing and build my own custom bolt action rifles for competitive long range shooting.
I've worked in machine shops my entire adult life, primarily for the aerospace/defense industry unfortunately. It didn't bother me at first, figured supporting the military was a good enough cause but after finding Bitcoin I obviously began to see it in a different light. Fortunately, Bitcoin has given me the financial freedom to start my own machine shop and my goal is to never put my hands on another Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, Lockheed or Boeing part again. I always hear the phrase "We don't build things in America anymore", we absolutely do but the manufacturing base has been captured by the military industrial complex. The exact same part made for the private sector will easily cost 10X once government money is involved, it's no wonder most shops are fighting for those contracts while the rest of the work goes overseas and produced at shit quality.
Well, I'm at least gonna do my part to bring quality American manufacturing back to the private sector. Feel free to reach out if you or anyone you know could benefit from my services, will work for sats of course! Looking forward to interacting and growing with the nostr network. #grownostr
