Did he fire the fact checkers, for example? Yes. I'm not on Twitter, so I don't know the full scope. It sounds like you might be in favor of secret spending programs like USAID. I'm not saying you are, but it sort of sounds like it. We need to get rid of the IRS, the Dept of Education, the FBI and CIA. We need to fire at least 1m govt employees. If Elon is the blunt instrument to get that done, I can live with it for a while. If he can't do it, he needs to go.
Don't you though? And when I convert larger amounts to bitcoin like I did with the equity from selling my house, I laugh out loud.
A free market system addresses the stability issue by selecting the best money. That is always money that cannot be controlled by the government. That should be our goal.
I'm more concerned with security than privacy. I don't want my transactions being rewritten or censored. For those with privacy concerns, mixers can address those worries.
We can't be afraid of that. The detergent of light is more important right now. The corruption is dar more widespread than any benefit Elon might or might not be able to drive. Don't lose the forest for the tree.
So far, I have been able to replace all the bitcoin I have spent. We'll see how much longer that lasts. I still think it's crazy people will take federal reserve notes for bitcoin.
Sure, that stuff isn't great. But the example of the hire shows that there is some accountability with Trump. And while I think Vivek would have been better in the role, no one else has really had the balls to go into a govt controlled org (twitter) and clean it out. We need the US govt blown wide open. I'll take the good with the bad because no one is perfect, and some things are really important.
Current mood. Probably won’t start completely from scratch but my follows list needs a major revamp.
What improvements are you looking for?
I didn't see that you were an elephant. I pay my rspectz.
I think there's a difference between public and private acts.
But since we're talking about public acts, yes, I think hiding them is hideous.
How do people look themselves in the mirror and say, "we want to continue to defraud the American people?"
If what they were doing was virtuous, it could have stood up to transparency.
If you are a federal employee, I hope you are reevaluating your life choices.
How is what he's doing not good?
That ship has sailed. We're past the point where that matters. If they print more money for the people and nothing else, the people can put it into bitcoin and recover the losses.
Sheesz. For some reason I read this as whales are selling. I don't know why, but it's like my brain wanted me to have a heart attack.
At this point, what's the other option, turning Gaza over to Israel or the UN? The whole thing sucks.
nostr:note1cfanng5nkezhk79z298ywg6g4d3qtpurhy53ufrrwjl07h3g9u6qrvnlv3I'm for transparency. I think they should do something. Even if it doesn't last and uses the wrong technology.
#Primal also hadn't been loading responses to my notes. That seems to have resolved itself.
