Sounds like zapstore might not be using the right architecture for mac. Also, when I install something I get an error about the web of trust service being down.

I get a similar error on Linux, difficult to debug.

Nice, I've wanted to try No Man's Sky in VR, and raft always looked fun to me.

What are you playing these days? I got hooked on the new Schedule I game.

He is risen!

Based on what?

Bring up numbers. What crisis you refering?

Your so said crisis is made up. Give proof how criminal rates goes up due to migration. This link is disproven regularly.

Criminal rates necessarily go up, all illegal immigrants are criminals just by entering the country. Trying to conflate legal immigration with illegal is a tricky debate traffic, but shows your hand.

Chapter 13 of Broken Money is called "Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown".

It focuses on the US trade deficit and why it arises structurally. In short, since the USD is the global reserve currency (for reserve assets, international contracts, FX trading pairs, and cross-border funding), there is tremendous automatic demand for USD in the world compared to other fiat currencies.

To supply the world with that ever-growing need for USD to service all sorts of needs, the United States runs structural trade deficits with the rest of the world. That's how the USD spills out to the rest of the world for them to use. And the mechanism for that is that the overvalued USD boosts Americans' import power, reduces Americans' low-margin export competiveness, and basically forces open that trade deficit.

That trade deficit is the cost of maintaining the benefits USD system as currently structured. The fatal flaw is that those who bear the cost (e.g. industrialists in the Rust Belt) are not the same as those to gain the benefits (e.g. Wall Street and Washington DC folks). And those costs and benefits accumulate over decades, resulting in rising populism and pushback, which is now front and center.

The challenge that the administration faces is that they have identified a real problem, but are tackling the surface issues rather than the underlying structural issues.

Anyway, I uploaded that chapter 13 on my website for free reading:

The good, the true, and the beautiful. If you can triangulate between those three, you will be blessed.

I've been using my PFP from shitcoin land on here without much thought. I'm trying shed most of that, what should I use on here instead?
