Just something to consider...
1 Corinthians 7:21 Were you a bondservant when called? Do not be concerned about it. (But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity.)
I would like to see a lot of independent journalists on Nostr. This is where they can thrive. I'm going to send it some emails. Unfortunately, it will just be a cold call from a stranger, even though they feel like friends to me.
Thanks. I need Spanish speaking friends.
Gracias, yo necesito amigos ...
I still have a lot of work.
I used to think governments became corrupt, but that passage tells us that the State is that way by it's nature.
They might change the names but that is the way it's always been.
1 Samuel 8:11-17 He said, “These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots. And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants. He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants. He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves.
I haven't been able to use the lightening protocol. Could someone send me a satoshi
Just to verify that I've got everything set up.
I'm not looking for a handout, I'll send it back. Or better yet I will send you one and you send it back to me via the Nostr set up.
Thanks for any help.
Would it sweetin the deal if I also followed you? 😁
Like any boss might say, "If I have to do the work, what do I need you for?"
I think you're illustrating the problem.
If indeed, they work for you, why do they set their own pay, decide how much you will surrender, and remain for the most part unaccountable?
Rulers will never allow for their accountability.
The State, regardless of form, must maintain a monopoly on violence.
If we want peace and freedom, we cannot using the tools of the enemy. If we do, we risk becoming like them.
I wonder if there will be specialized relays at some point.
One might be a market place.
Another might be for a business just sharing with employees or customers.
I'm watching excerpts from the State of the Union Address. So I'm responding to that. Every statist must convince themselves that theft is fine.
Coercive taxation cannot be fair.
Voluntary taxation is a misnomer and would be an oxymoron
You cannot make theft fair by adjusting taxes on a minority.
