Do you have the same opinion on threats of violence as you do on threats of tariffs?

They would both be leverage in action.

It’s not the case for example that they are only idle threats, tariffs were levied by Trump, and they were kept in place by Biden.

Tariffs reduce trade.

I’m concerned about the tit for tat growing beyond what individual actors wanted. I’m concerned about the costs of untangling economies. I’m concerned about the costs of permanently not taking advantage of the trade surpluses both countries get when they trade voluntarily, taking advantage of the differences in skills, labor, and capital to allow specialization. I’m concerned that tariffs will make everything more expensive fundamentally because it’s going to be made in places with higher costs to produce the same thing without an increase in quality. This isn’t inflation in the sense of the money supply, it’s restructuring the fundamental way things are produced and where they are produced. I’m concerned if you don’t trade with your enemies you take one stop out of the road to war with your enemies. I’m concerned if you don’t trade with your allies, they will seek trade agreements with your enemies. I’m not a member of the left.

Only if you rember why, Sandor 🤣🤣

Over.

50 and 1 month 😁

Not all Gen X.

The young ones need to stop thinking in boxes or listening to those Boomers who are still lost in the past... Moving from box to box will not serve them, fuck the city, get out while you can or go mobile.

Common commentary down under:

“I was at (insert cafe/shopping centre/restaurant) and it was packed. People aren’t suffering yet…” blah, blah, yadda, yadda

My hunch is that there is actually two sides to this coin:

- Low debt Gen X and Boomers are in the sweetest spot in history. All assets, including cash (yes, that dirty fiat y’all despite), is producing a return. They’ve had a massive run up in asset prices, if they aren’t levered to the tits, then disposable income is fine

- low asset Millennials and younger who don’t see hope in ever owning a home live for the moment. Yeah the probably DCA low amounts into something, maybe YOLO into bitcoin or have a crack at some sort of 💩coin….but there week to week pay checks are for having fun now. Fuck it, you know?

So we still have some busy consumer spending. Even though we are in the midst of long per capita recession, severe decline in “living standards” and an inflationary shit fight.

Not sure what else to say here - just thinking out loud.

Thoughts #austriches ?

How do the men of nostr use the urinals?

Look son, a politician behaving like a politician, that is, saying bullshit.

Getting used to it might be even worse than dealing with it.

I get that you have to, but I hadn’t considered that all the rich Boomers will probably do that here when outages become the norm and then shame everyone else for not doing so to save “mother earth” like they are, until you wrote this.

Victoria has banned new gas connections so new homes will be shit out of luck on that front..

Last quarter our electricity bill was $1100 dollarydoos and gas (for hot water and cooking) was $200 - how does that compare to you?

Capital punishment for any crime committed by someone who derives income from the State.

We’ll be sharpening the guillotine daily but we’ll soon run out of these cunts

If the government decrees a weather alert, e.g. for rain, heat, snow, etc., you stay at home and get your salary.

Obviously it is forbidden to leave the house 😂 .

This assumes there can possibly never be a state.

There will ALWAYS be a state.

A terrorist is a man who has a bomb, but doesn't have an aircraft.

A warlord is a man who has a bomb, and an aircraft, but no US Embassy in his capital.

lol yes it is 😂

Let me give you my rationale;

Fuck anyone who understands money and doesn’t properly understand Bitcoin. They’re a hinderance to global prosperity at this point.

I have complete disdain for “Silverbacks” for this reason. They get the money side and then pick the most retarded solution to the problem - they can all get fucked.

Per understands the problem but instead of being a silverback, he won’t admit #Bitcoin is money.

Everything other than BTC is. He can’t say why. He can’t say why not BTC. He’s being retarded and we should just accept thay because of his papers.

He’s been humiliated a few times in that thread purely because he won’t give up his own ideas.

I’m tired of him, but fuck him. He deserves to deal with reality instead of hiding behind 100 year old Mises papers.

So we are going to trade one bunch of wankers demanding we use this one thing to trade for another wanker who demands we use this one thing to trade... 😂

GFY

I'll use whatever whenever. 🤣

Happy Thanksgiving to all my celebrating frens 👋🏻👋🏻

Me ? I'm just hoping my fiat shift is a lot less chaotic today than it was yesterday 🤣🤣
