Meh, if “they” (our democratically elected leaders) gave each citizen of Maui $180,000 or whatever, you’d complain about “them” too. I’m for spending whatever it takes to stop the dictator Putin from invading and brutally savaging peaceful democratic countries.

• Biden just asked Congress for $24,000,000,000 MORE for Ukraine

• Maui victims will get $700 each

• Population of Maui = ~180,000

$24B = $130,000 for EACH Maui resident...

We've sent ~$80 Billion to Ukraine so far... I'll let you do the math.

They do not give AF about us. They see and treat us like cattle. We are there to be milked for their pockets, the entire extent to which they care is based on how much it effects the yield they get from us. They toss back JUST enough pennies to stop a revolt, otherwise sowing hate and division to keep us angry at each other so they can spend all their time robbing us blind.

How do I reconcile my desire to be in the middle of nowhere and still have 3gbps internet and UberEATS? 🤔

Flying to Cairo tomorrow to visit friends and family, where I will be until shortly before Pacific Bitcoin.

I have a small wad of cash from last time which I will be bringing with me, that is now worth a lot less than last time I was there.

At the start of 2022, the exchange rate to the US dollar was 15 to 1. When I was there, the exchange rate was in the 20s, since the Egyptian central bank was in the process of devaluing it (at the behest of the IMF). Now it’s over 30 to 1, so these are all seven dollar bills basically.

My friends and family, whose wages are denominated in pounds, all got wage increases since the start of 2022, but they certainly didn’t get 100% wage increases, and so all of them earn fewer dollar-equivalents per hour thanks to this devaluation (which among other reasons is why the IMF wanted Egypt to do it).

I want to go live in the Las Vegas tunnels under the city with all the homeless seems like a good life.

Good powerful music making a come back this week is bullish.

I don't understand why people would rather go to office than work from home

Is there a good reason why we don’t use simple, human readable relay names in settings? Instead of wss://

Eg. call it Damus or Snort or whatever name. Is it because not all relays have a name?

Exactly.

Because it would die.
