Well, it obviously wasn't meant to be a haiku but I'll keep that in mind 😂

Very few things have a higher RoI than buying a politician.

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, panicked when Sauron Mamdani was elected in New York City and vowed to ensure that no ... Muslim would ever be able to assume office in Texas.

So the problem was his religion, not his stated plans to "seize the means production", run government retail stores, and other socialist devilry.

Nice going, Greg, you absolute knob.

As a non-American and - surprisingly - unlike large numbers of Europeans, I am fully America First - you lot stay out of our business, we'll extend that same courtesy, and every so often we can have a friendly chat about who came up with what without one side forcing their practices on the other.

Well, if the devaluation of the currency outpaces your mortgage rates, then the renovation costs over five decades might just ruin you financially, in addition to your backpain from pushing around wheelbarrows full of cash all day 😄

AI is authoritarian terror through and through, a bigger and better boot on regular people's necks than organized religion could ever have hoped to be.

Maybe spend a minute or two looking up how to the good people in the Dune franchise handled the matter.

Looking forward to the day when I can close my last bank account, I'm not holding my breath but the less I have to use them, the better.

Anyone who takes out one of those deserves it, if you're gonna rent anyway, might as well go for a place you don't have to fix up when it breaks.

Get it, because 50 year mortgages are essentially leases because very few people will even live long enough to pay them off.

If you lot just wait until I've bought a little bit more with my funny paper, you can send it to the moon again.

Tough luck, Robocop, shouldn't have cast your lot with the government 🤷‍♂️

Financialize everything - lose everything.

Or one of my favourite phrases: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Here's a completely inconsequential question: Is it really exploitation if an organizational aspect was meant to be taken advantage of by a certain group of connected people? 😄

Welcome to the EUSSR

Ah "national security risk", the magical justify-anything-button.

I like that people name their videos things like "emergency", or "shocking" - makes for a good indicator of what to skip.

Well, you can stand in your own way quite a bit and the less you do it, the better off you're probably going to be, but as we all know around here, even the most even-keeled goal-getters must spend scarce resources - mental or material - to find ways around completely unnatural and arbitrary obstacles such as taxation, zoning, and multi-factor authentication.

You know, without the existence of governments, this would just be some accountant talking to some rich heiress about some completely pointless and immoral project and after dinner had concluded, everyone would've wondered why they kept inviting Jeffrey.

Jesus, I hope you've been circumcised and not castrated 😅

But yes, I assume we're of the same opinion concerning monetary issues, propaganda, literature, and people's general attitude.

The trouble with being an individualist or a libertarian is that both the political left and the political right are so hilariously stupid, vicious, and destructive that you have to be the guy who's against most things most of the time because almost every solution those people present is either unsustainable, unfair, exploitative, destructive, or simply meant to be gamed by politically connected actors.

And you cannot ignore them either because they will come and take your stuff without ever offering anything but threats.

Brace for inflation ください
