One of the major issues with inflation is that it puts the onus on wage earners to try to keep up. A depreciating unit of account benefits the status quo and puts the burden of negotiation on the one that wants to change it.

For example when Egypt cut their currency in half relative to the dollar over 18 months, every worker now has to try to double their wages or simply accept lower international purchasing power, and of course 99% get the latter.

One of the big narratives in UK and other parts of Europe lately is that they gotta prevent wages from rising too fast lest they cause inflation. But those wages are just trying to recoup some of their losses from inflation. First lawmakers said it was a supply chain problem, then they said it was an oil price problem, and now they say it's a wage problem, but ultimately it's a quantity of money problem (and an energy insecurity problem).

A lot of people change jobs unnecessarily just because that's how they get wage increases. Wages become "sticky" and so rather than moving up wages in place rationally to keep pace with inflation and the worker's own increased productivity, workers have to change jobs for no other reason than to reset the anchoring bias.

I had a look at this and interesting.

They base on a RSS feed from GitHub releases.

Not that I know of. I am happy to accept a PR that adds another way to do this.

It was, but they removed it because they didn't like we had terms of service (basically you can't upload criminal content).

It always existed in the PlayStore version. It's part of the MLKit integration for on-device translations

Emerging markets wont have real UTXOs, it's math.

Selling bitcoin to emerging markets is a business on borrowed time. You don't have enough UTXOs to sell.

It's just a temporary fix.

Has anyone else noticed zap amounts have been trending downward? Last week I upped my default zap amount to 2100 to give folks that extra boost. 2 orders of magnitude higher than my old zap amount is still really cheap!

You would rather have a post with no likes and a single user zapping 21 sats or a post with 0 zaps and 121 likes ?
