I’m already aware things are pretty bad. That’s not quite my angle. I think I’m ultimately interested in seeing organisations interested in this sort of thing. It would be something good to be involved in.
I’m rather isolated in my area.
Where can I get a bag if dicks?
A hodl tax… sounds like it would be popular.
I guess the magazine has to drive engagement somehow. Probably working with this article.
I get that, sometimes it can be frustrating that things aren’t as efficient as they could be but also sometimes it’s frustrating seeing how difficult some people have it, through no fault of their own, and it’s not as if humanity is short of resources.
I don’t have the answers but I’m curious as some folks are very sure they do have the answers!
I’ll keep my end up and see if somethings really do fix everything…
I know some aren't keen but I make so many typos it's embarrassing!
No doubt someone will moan about my time preference or my stupidity but it is what it is, I just want to fix typos haha.
About to go live on ZapStream... Going through my live set for tonight's Liotia gig. You'll get to see one half, the better looking half won't be joining me today for this so it'll be instrumental throughout...

Hello!
I still don't see much discussion of how though.
I remember Saifedean Ammous once saying he never donates to charity, I'm sure there's many others. Is this just because of tax or are some people just uncharitable?
Breaking it down to percentates is odd.... But maybe we can try.
If a household income is £50,000p/a but with a child who's medical costs come to £150,000 p/a. Does insurance cover these types of scenarios? I can imagine insurance companies just turning these cases down.
Maybe you're right and folks start donating more, then maybe that creates enough of an incentive for charities to take over. It's just something I rarely see discussed and the idea of bodies piling up outside a citadel begging for help never really appealed to me.
Very happy to be educated on the matter.
From what I've listened to, they seem pretty joyless people. Sometimes I wonder if should I read them, then I come back to my first point. Whilst the commodity theory of money prevails through the culture here, I also want joy in my life, when I think of everything I do reduced to mere economic factors I get rather depressed.
There's music, there's art, there's fun! I question how much fun Mises ever had? Maybe that's high time preference but it's my time so I'll pick and choose preferences as I see fit. A lot of human activity I don't see falling into purely market based activity and not all incentives are financial. Maybe my understanding is limited? I'm sure it is. Interested to see what others make of it...
That’s what I like about it, I can repurpose some old sheets and coat hangers.
It’ll also double up as a tent when travelling.
One thing I rarely (if ever) hear about from money enthusiasts is what to do about people with disabilities who are unable to work or have reduced capabilities for work.
In my country the state offers some degree of support and obviously that’s a brain melt situation for most people.
I’m assuming church folks will say the church will care/offer help?
What about non church folks? Sure personall responsibility is fine and all but if you’re born with a serious disability, what happens to the average family that can not afford the medical expenses?
Will these all fall into a crowd funding situation?
I’m curious to know peoples thoughts and hopefully more nuanced than a ‘duh who will build the roads’ cliche.
Another thing would be children in abusive families etc. over the years I’ve worked with young people with truly harrowing stories of the darkest abuse, providing music therapy, which can be a useful tool for dealing with emotional trauma. Ultimately the funding from this has been mostly the state, although the organisation has received some charitable donations, it nowhere near covers the cost of helping these young people recover.
The statistics for abused kids going into crime or becoming abusers themselves is extraordinary high.
What happens to these people under a bitcoin standard?
Are you a Tory MP or something!? lol
