BREAKING: Biden administration has withdrawn plan to cancel student loan debt for about 38 million Americans.

Too far away from family and the time difference is a killer. Want to be able to drive for the next “lockdown”. If anything happens to our parents we want to be able to be with them.

Yesterday I was bringing packages away at the local delivery point in my hometown. I ran across a guy I used to cycle to high school with. This was over 20 years ago… he was not looking good at all. So I brought up some old discussion topics we used to have when cycling. We both liked the Nissan skyline GTR back in those days. It gave him a big smile. He said he lost it after high school. First worked a bit in a warehouse, but was lost to alcohol and drugs and started stealing. He told me he was famous in the city of Oss for his steals. This guy was in the highest grade high school and has been roaming the streets for 20 years now. It’s sad to see so many people lost, even in a small town like this. When I grew up I never expected to see so much decline. I moved back to my hometown a couple years ago, but this doesn’t look like the place where I grew up in. We’re not going to expose our kids to this toxic environment. We have some ideas to move. Where would you move to?

These evil cars in Germany are out of control.

Why do these cars keep doing this?

Fuck it, I stacked more #bitcoin

JUST IN: Sam Bankman-Fried, Luigi Mangione, and Sean "Diddy" Combs are all being held in the same Brooklyn jail.

Looks like three changes:

1) Legal reforms will make acceptance of Bitcoin by the private sector voluntary.

2) Taxes will only be paid in U.S. dollars and

3) the government’s participation in the crypto e-wallet (Chivo) will be gradually unwound.

4) For the public sector, engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin will be confined

(1) and (3) seem fine, you could see them as bootstrapping measures. Now let's see if companies keep accepting it.

(2) is dubious, the treasury could just exchange BTC to USD to manage the volatility. But is this really about US dollar hegemony feeling threatened, or something more "mundane" such as:

a) the IMF doesn't trust the El Salvador government to handle this competently; or

b) a desire to keep surveilling money flows by forcing them through the fiat banking system

(4) "confined" is a vert flexible term, stay humble, stack sats in a confined manner! nostr:note12v26mqf3rehvnlq9svh58xvkn092ankph6l6ga9fgjwvxnpenetqqzpell
