I realized how dishonest the world was when I started listening to what Ron Paul said vs what people said about him. It said far more about his critics than him. In an insane world sanity is considered insanity. Logical reasoning is consider radical.
Worked on orange pilling a friend today. I think he will see it in time.
First part is right. Last but is wrong. Fullycentrally planned economies do not work. Study the USSR. China realized this and liberalized. It could be much worse under full communism.
The mistake most make when thinking about communism is focusing on the politics. The worst part is the central planning.
Central banking is easier to hide because of complexity.
F.C.C. Votes to Restore Net Neutrality Rules
https://archive.li/ITyf1#selection-3113.0-3113.44
An exercise in pointlessness. How many of you didn't know they were removed? Net Neutrality is nonsense. Does not exist.
I know the feeling
There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.
Hire a good accountant or if you can afford it a tax attorney. Make full use of the tax laws (loop holes). Make more money so that these things have a smaller affect. This is what the wealthy elites do. This is what business owners do. These things will have more impact on you than voting. But voting.
We don't yell at the sun when we get sun burn, we cover up or go inside. We all get caught up in what isn't in our control from time to time. Focus on what you can change.
Needs to be fairly consumer friendly. Not for me. I know people say that. I mean it.
No way that truck on the right is only worth $1k but the point remains. Back in in 90s I bought my first truck for $600 and it was rough. Didn't run and needed a lot of work. My used truck I bought in 2017 for cash is still holding the same value. Status trucks are for weak men.
Every bitcoiner should read it for sure.
Anyone have a recommendation for a wifi router that supports Wireguard VPN and providers like iVPN & Mullvad? Asking for a friend.

People have been mind propagandized into a coma.
I've been around long enough to not be surprised by this but it still concerns me how many human beings are totally OK with putting other humans in cages for non-violent reasons. Until we rise above this as a species we will be cursed to live under the boot of the state. The fact someone opposes bitcoin or does things you don't agree with does not mean the state is justified in their persecution.
Collectivist / Communist ideas have long been at work in the US. They control the education systems and most bureaucracies. Both parties move the nation towards these statist polices that reduce freedom. Both economic and personal. Anything that threatens the state is a target. Make no mistake, the problem is from within and from outside. I agree with you. We need to pray. I would love to see freedom loving American's stop supporting statism. Been watching this happen over the last 20 years. The rot goes deep. Far deeper than a few bad actors or a few years.
Exactly. Taxation is theft. The US will get its pound of flesh. That's what this is about. That, and wanting to strike fear in bitcoiners and shake out the weak hands.
Sure glad we have that document along with the US Constitution. Working really well isn't it.
Don't get me wrong. I think it is great to outline ideas. Writing down what we expect. Obviously, but these declarations are mostly ignored by those with money and power. They are powerless to stop abuse.
I think the situation matters. I have moved my node to new hardware without closes and minimal downtime.
In order to avoid this backup your channels. This can be automated as well.
