Aspiring polymath.

I never even thought of that. Wild.

Have you seen the Star Wars show Andor?

The Great Currency Robbery

In a world of smoke and mirrors, a tale does unfold,

Of legal tricks and shadow games, a story seldom told.

A tale of two deceptions, entwined in equal sin,

A dance of legal forgery, where few may truly win.

Inflation, the subtle thief, a quiet, creeping snake,

Strikes with a whispered hiss, as our hard-earned wealth they take.

A sanctioned sleight of hand, a tax unseen, but felt,

As value slips away, in the pockets where it's dwelt.

Counterfeiting, the dark twin, a crime of ink and greed,

A twisted mirror image, feeding on our need.

A mockery of value, a false promise in our hands,

The thin veneer of worth, built on shifting sands.

Inflation, legal counterfeiting, a clever guise it wears,

A hidden hand that steals, the fruit of toil and cares.

And yet, we call it progress, a necessary vice,

To stabilize economies, we pay the heavy price.

Currency counterfeiting, criminal inflation, scorned,

Condemned by the very system, from which it was spawned.

A villain born of desperation, seeking to survive,

But hunted and reviled, as if it were alive.

Two faces of the same coin, spinning in the air,

A vicious cycle, turning, in a world that's unaware.

Inflation and counterfeiting, bound in twisted fate,

The laws that shape our world, a cruel and fickle state.

In this dance of shadows, the truth remains concealed,

The veil of legal fiction, a wound that's never healed.

For in the end, we're victims, of a game we never chose,

The price we pay for order, a debt that only grows.

Some classic Bob Uecker quotes to make you laugh…

“How do you catch a knuckleball? You wait until the ball stops rolling and you pick it up.”

“You know… I was once the Minor League player of the year... Unfortunately, by the time I won it, I had already been playing in the majors for two years.”

“The most I ever made playing was $17,000 in 1966. $11,000 of it came from selling the other players equipment.”

“I once hit a home run off of Sandy Koufax. Every time I see him, I apologize because I know that almost kept him out of the Hall of Fame.”

“I had a manager once tell me ’Grab a bat and stop this rally’.”

“When I came up in the ninth to bat with bases loaded and two outs, I looked into the visitor’s dugout and the guys were already in their street clothes.”

“When I looked at the third base coach for the sign, he had his back turned to me.”

“Sporting goods companies actually paid me NOT to endorse their products.”

“I knew my career as a ball player was about over in 1965… My baseball card came out with no picture on it.”https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_6533489570230038351689530967.webp

Culture from my childhood. Haven’t heard this song in YEARS. #grownostr #pianoman

In case you were wondering what “saying the quiet part out loud” means. #objectlesson #grownostr

Russia is better off diversified. We can’t take away their accounts that are not in dollars.

Thank you, SMBC Comics, for drawing this many years ago. #AI #shitpost #grownostr
