Ukraine cancels elections. Where’s Gladstein to tell us it’s not that bad and what Russia does is worse?

Hey, remember that time when the Nordstream pipeline was sabotaged, and then after a while most investigations quietly concluded without reporting on who did it?

Weird.

Anyway, anything good on tv lately? I hear Shogun is good.

I'd let her beat my ass any day of the week 🤣.

Where are my nostr wrestlers and jiujitsu people at?

The system has done nothing but provide excuses and escapes for them. Unless they come from good parents they’ve literally never been held accountable.

There are still terrific, smart, respectful young folks out there, but they’re fewer and fewer all the time. I legit watched the degradation of the system and its product for a decade.

It’s not getting better any time soon. Every one of those shitty employees had shitty parents, almost guaranteed. Couple that with the YouTube influencer bullshit and their faces being in screens all day, gtfoh.

It is like nothing matters to them. I always tried to impress my employer, earn their respect and learn new skills from them. I would get paid more for working to make the business function better.

It is like they have no basic connection to what they are a part of. Sometimes I think that they may spend so much time online that going to work is some kind of come down, or like entering some foreign world.

I think what I get frustrated the most at is there is this attitude that what a business does is lame, that asking to do things the way I want is annoying, that they don't want to understand why things are done a certain way. That they can just quit, lie on their unemployment forms, take another job, quit there. All while feeling self rightous and superior about some fantasy future of theirs.

I know what I have to do to earn a living, I don't even understand how these people make it.

Hiring young people for entry level jobs requires us to educate them on how to read and count. I have never met so many high school and college grads that cannot count a simple till to 200. They also seem to have absolutley no idea that following policy and doing what their manager asks them to do is why they are being paid. They all seem to think they should be paid more, yet they don't even generate enough value to be paid what the state requires us to pay them. Most young people are worth little to nothing in the entry level market. We are being forced to be elementary school teachers just to fill basic roles.

If a person can't show up on time, read simple instructions and just does the job however the fuck they decided to randomly do it, of course thinking it is better way to do it (that obviously fails to meet the requirements) then who do they think they will magically become?

A doctor can't miss a line item, an accountant can't add incorrectly, a lawyer can't be late to court. It baffles me how young people are so clueless as to what is expected in the real world. They think they are worth so much money and have such a bright future ahead of them but they can't complete a simple task as the boss asked it to be done and literally cry when held accountable for failing.

We speak to so many small business owners who feel like they are living in the twilight zone over their staff. Many have taken to closing locations and running at a personal scale so that they can maintain sanity and live in objective reality because their staff has become so delusional and excuse driven.

I wear a brand new pair of socks everyday.

It is surprisingly affordable to do this.

Before bitcoin saving didn't matter to me. If it's all going to burn then why save? You have to show people there is a future and an incentive/reward for saving.

It is basically everybody, and that's an amazing opportunity. If you're in the US, there's absolutely zero excuse for almost anyone to be in that situation. That's how easy it is to be ahead of the curve financially.

In order to be that broke at 49, you have to make bad decisions over and over and over again throughout your entire life. Even with the inflation and problems with fiat money, there's literally no excuse. Even if you put a literal $20 bill in a box under your bed every week from 18 to 49, you'd have $32,000 in cash under your bed. That's without investing a penny in anything to counteract inflation. Twenty bucks a week is a bar so low you probably have to dig a hole to get any lower.

Save $100 a week and collect 2% interest over that period and you'll have over $200,000.

I'm as upset about the state of the financial system as anybody, but for anybody in this situation, this is a you problem 🤷🏼‍♂️

15 years of payments vs. savings.

Savings has won every.single.time.

It really highlights why just making easy to ppl it's a disservice, you need to learn what all the parts are and what they they or you will just give your seed or password away.

Stop just peddling "easy", if they are not ready to take self custody for real, maybe they are not ready for bitcoin.
