NHK Japanese economy news segment summary (my words):

1. Inflation app

2. Wages up

3. Prices outpace wages

4. Consumers “stuck” in deflationary mindset, refuse to spend. (Gee I wonder why …)

5. solutions: a) cash handouts (seriously), b) consumption tax cut, c) incentives for cashless payments - praise South Korea for being 95% cashless.

So… while cost of living is outpacing wages, you want people to spend? This makes no sense. Of course people will save whatever they earn and cut back just to pay for necessities…

My guess for what happens next: a push for cashless payments. A push for CBDC. Disincentives for hanging on to your savings. Handouts to encourage dependency (probably in a form of CBDC enrollment incentive).

It’s mind-boggling to me that in a world of finite resources and a sensitive ecosystem, we encourage rapid consumption of resources and complete destruction of our environment.

This is the fiat disease. 🦠

I believe we can zap a new reality into existence.

This is the best and final escape, I've been screaming on here that the likes of you, PIDOM et al, use NOSTR as the freedom tech it is to combat these tyrannical entities. Glad you're here cos I got rate limited and couldn't view your tweets.

Next step, port African Streams and West African Weekly to NOSTR and connect a lightning address from a self custodial node so you can receive value commensurate to the value you put out and do so in a manner that's away fronm the FIAT rails that could aid in their surveillance of you and your team.

God keep you David!!!

LFG!!!!

All African Stream pages on Meta platforms have now been taken down on the instruction of the American State Department. That includes Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp.

We are now at a crucial inflection point in modern African history where once again, white men are showing up attempting to physically wield direct colonial power over African people, after decades of wielding a more indirect neo-colonial influence.

Once again - as it was in 1930 - the accusation being used to justify the direct colonial excursion into African political discourse and everyday life in 2024 is "wE aRe fIghTinG ThE rUsSIanS."

The inevitable Twitter ban can honestly not come soon enough, so that the Empire will effectively motivate a critical mass of young Africans - myself included - to abandon centralised platforms based in the US and embrace decentralised platforms like Nostr, which we all know are the future.
