Oil is still on the way up. I’m sure that will help make everything cheaper over the next year. The pivot should be here any day now.

A Ford dealership so illiquid they resorted to stealing a 2018 Mini. ZIRP created so many zombies.

The NM Attorney General is also refusing to back Empress Karen’s unconstitutional order. FAFO

The most black pilled doomers insisted NM was the beginning of the end for the 2A.

Here’s the sheriff refusing to enforce an unconstitutional directive from his unhinged shrew of a governor while acknowledging the very real risk of political violence towards his deputies if he tried to enforce it.

ā€œThe constitution is dead.ā€

The people who still value it aren’t dead yet. I wouldn’t count them out yet either.

Real rates are still negative in the EU/UK even according to the official government inflation statistics which are dramatically under selling inflation in the UK, according to Truflation. Meanwhile, real rates are positive in the US.

If you are trying to taper a Ponzi and there are even more degenerately run Ponzis all around you, do all the Ponzis implode at the same time?

An illustrative recent example:

Terra and Luna < Voyager < Three Arrows Capital < BlockFi < Celsius < FTX < SVB…

Economists on the left have been calling for revising the inflation target to 3%. Meanwhile, inflation is stubbornly refusing to reach the 2% target that Bernanke moronically set. Oil isn’t getting cheaper and OPEC has no reason to help there either.

The market expects the pivot to come next June now. Seems like yesterday the pivot was expected in June ā€˜23.

In 2020 the UN ran a poll to find out what people think of climate change and these are the questions they asked.

What would happen if they asked the people choosing 2A if they would support doing everything as urgently as possible if it meant that the bottom 75% of income earners would never be able to afford to buy a home or a car?

For 3C, would you support that if it meant you couldn’t afford to heat your home?

For 6A, would you support that if it meant that meat and dairy products would be made illegal and the bottom 75% of income earners would be required to eat bugs as their primary source of protein?

Curiously, they only asked leading questions designed to elicit responses they approve of. They even say that responses they don’t like are evidence they need to do more ā€œeducationā€.

I am happy to see that the US had the second highest percentage of fuck off responses of any country.

The gender differences are fascinating too. I wonder why the serpent tempted Eve with the fruit of the tree of knowledge?

This is how it concludes:

ā€œIn many parts of the world, including some of the most densely forested, trees are not perfect allies for tree-huggers anymore, and forests no longer reliable climate partners. What was once the embodiment of environmental values now seems increasingly to be fighting for the other side. In some places, fighting harder each year.ā€

I have no clue what he thinks should be done about it, but he’s definitely calling out forests for ā€œfighting for the other sideā€.

The cultists are turning on trees now. I definitely did not have that on my bingo card. They must destroy the environment before it has a chance to destroy the environment.

I had no natural interest in this fight at all. The bullying and counter-bullying is making it a must watch.

The most genius fight promotion I’ve ever seen and most of it is just two retards doing what comes naturally.

Ripple bought the Ponzi (Fortress Trust) that handles custody for them.

That has nothing to do with shareholder voting.

The people who manage other people’s money should not be able to control corporate boards the way they do. AUM should not equal votes under management the way they currently do.

All these fund managers should be treated like a broker at a minimum and the beneficial owners should either retain their votes, or be disenfranchised entirely due to their lack of commitment. I’d prefer the people who don’t care enough to manage their own investments be disenfranchised, because fuck them. But at a minimum, fund managers should be forced to act as proxies the way brokerages are.

Is God trolling Cory Klippsten? Swan becoming dependent on Ripple is something else.

How does shareholder voting work? How does it work if you own the shares via a brokerage account? How does it work if you own shares in an ETF?

Index investing should not transfer the voting rights of the shares to the custodian. Only people who control their own investments should be allowed to vote.

If you don’t want the responsibility of managing your own money, fine. But your cowardice shouldn’t accumulate power to a tiny number of fund managers who control trillions of AUM.

Immoral communists will say and do anything to acquire and maintain power.

The envy described in Cain and Abel is a pretty good sign that this pattern has existed for as long as humans have been telling stories.

She isn’t wrong, but also, the people who believe this nonsense were never going to make it out of poverty anyway. The people capable of pulling themselves out see this defeatism as a challenge and as proof that they don’t have much competition.

Most people ā€œtrappedā€ in poverty seek this sort of sentiment to confirm their beliefs that it is hopeless to even try. They surround themselves with people who believe this and reject anyone who tries to tell them they aren’t actually trapped because believing there is hope would require them to take responsibility for their situation and do something about it.

The problem today is that this hopelessness is being weaponized into the envy that drives communists. We used to reject that sort of mass envy as a culture and now the dominant cultural forces encourage it.

The Veilid project is working on their Code of Conduct even quicker than I expected. Commies don’t believe in freedom and they never will.

If you build tech that claims to guarantee freedom you will have to tolerate people you vehemently disagree with. They are incapable of that and that’s why I love that most of them despise bitcoin.

I can’t prevent them from using bitcoin and I wouldn’t value bitcoin if I could, but I love that their intolerance works against them and will help keep them poor.

The budgets of the Five Eyes are controlled by communists (globalists/Davos ghouls/lizard people/demons/whatever you want to call them). As long as that is true, I don’t support any bitcoin soft forks.

Any change you can dream up can wait until the people who oppose private property are out of power.

If things get worse and bitcoin is forced underground, it doesn’t need your scaling solution.

Imagine if instead of trying to imprison him they had hung the entire Covid catastrophe around his neck.

But no, they couldn’t resist taking advantage of the opportunity to implement their own tyrannical ambitions so they couldn’t use the one weapon that would have guaranteed Trump never had a chance again.

The sooner the 10% of people who pay all the taxes get fed up with public schools and pull their kids out, the sooner we can defund the entire clown car jobs program for rainbow retards.

Dave Portnoy dropping the premier of his shitshow pizza review during his Tucker interview was a thing of beauty.

That soy slurping NYT reading owner of Dragon Pizza picked the wrong fight. You love to see it when the assholes fuck themselves in the most entertaining way.
