To be fair, who pays attention to something they were told is a failure?
Wait, is it the bitcoon bikini account? I need a laugh today
I'm confused. What?
Sisterhood of the traveling panics.
Moreso, the perpetually outraged. As the old saying goes, "Misery loves company."
And, to an extent, the family connected tribe/community.
Some people like to compare social media to Plato's cave, but it would be more precise to call it his sewage pipe.
Wait until they hear the US dropped fractional reserves in 2020. It was quite easy for people to miss that.
The easy solution is to just buy cars that don't do any of that. The next best is to gut the car of its sensors (if you made sure it wont disable the car before purchase).

I thought it came out that employees sent the sex videos around to each other at Tesla... I could remember wrong, but that one stuck with me.
The recent fee increase in Phoenix means I will probably zap less but larger.
True, Fiat is free money. They print off a billion and just give it to pakastani gender studies. It's totally worth being able to afford fewer eggs.
Fun fact about bill C-11, Canada's censorship bill: it was proposed by our ministers of transportation and climate change. I mean, who else would know better about Canadian culture, ethics, and telecomm tech?
If people want to know how great things are in Canada now, I live in one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, areas to live and I am seeing single bedrooms now renting for $1000+ plus utilities... we are living the dream.
There are two big stories in the global economy that I am exploring in my work:
One is the individual in a world where money is transforming from a bearer asset to a mechanism of control. This is where the classic human rights stuff comes in: NGOs getting their bank accounts frozen, reporters unable to get paid in dictatorships, central bank digital currencies and surveillance, bank blacklists, politicization of the banking system, etc
The second story is an international one, where we have a currency caste system with the dollar on top. Born into Pakistan or Egypt? Tough luck, your local fiat currency -- which is what you earn your wages in -- is being devalued way way faster than you'll ever get a raise. And it is devalued so that your country can, in large part, export more stuff cheaply so it can earn some dollars or euros to pay back debt and buy weapons.
Bitcoin poses challenges to both systems. It is a parallel economy for individuals that governments cannot stop. And, secondly, it is an escape from currency devaluation and potentially, in the long run, a way for developing countries to get out from under debt colonialism
These topics are explored at length in my recent interview with Nate Hagens on his Great Simplification show

As someone who knows what that feels like, to a smaller extent, I, too, support those countries getting away from fiat serfdom.

So he is, in fact, using money to buy intelligence. Let's see how it works out for him.
