The biggest loser would be Europe, caught short by another event not at all obvious. IE With all eyes on a marauding China that stops at the borders of W Europe, there is a very sinister twist, cooked up between China and it's buddies in Iran and Africa.
Another great storyline for an international best seller.
I think we are zone 8, with super calcium-leaching clay. Work them green fingers magic!
Hope you work out your diet. It's a long and winding road. Grow as much as you possibly can.
In a past life I learnt the hard way about misleading US labelling. The VOC Content of paint is a big deal for occupational health hazards. In UK there was product with 0.2% VOC Content, brilliant. A US company stormed the market with 0% VOC, even more brilliant - so we thought, until we learned that the US allowed manufacturers to state 0% for anything under 5%. Bastards! I hope that has changed, if not, that's a lot of fumes going into millions of unsuspecting lungs. What could possibly go wrong!?
There are plenty of altruists and much altruism in a society where, for most transactions, making a profit is required for maintaining a healthy business environment.
Maximising profits and having perfect market knowledge, and any other elements deemed part of successful capitalism are theoretical aims. Adherents of "perfect capitalism" guarantee much pain and unhappiness for themselves and anyone caught up in the system because there is no such thing as perfect knowledge or a maximised profit margin. They are gold at the end of rainbows.
Chasing rainbows is probably a good analogy for a system that some commie or other in the past, whose name escapes me, identified as guaranteed to fail.
Capitalism is also a good cover for predators and exploiters. It's just business. We've all heard that one at some point and prayed for karma.
Like most things in life, the middle way works best, but that's not a philosophy of interest to students of capitalism, an extreme that cannot possibly apply or work or be welcome across a whole society's economic and social activity.
Steady on, you might bring down the curtains.
Comfrey doesn't grow here. Or are we just unlucky with three different spots?

I think we are born with an intuition for fairness. But as the OP says, not in the sense of equality, but a sense of justness, justice. Eg When someone commits a bad deed and gets away with it, that's not fair. Only twats at the EU would try to spin early bitcoin adoption as unfair. Nobody listening to their argument could possibly be thinking that sounds right, assuming they understand the rules of bitcoin.
The vast amount of BTC is not available to banks. It sounds like the few BTC coming to market are the bait to get big finance involved and turbo charge the value of what's already in circulation.
Exactly. Borrow a billion of crap fiat to invest in hard assets, that's saylorism at work
Imagine if they just resprayed all existing vehicles with that solar paint and harnessed the energy to a battery that could be used in the home or office. That would save the planet a fortune in resources for building electric vehicles.
What, , I missed the memo?, EV is about saving Mercedes etc.?

Biochar, useless government...you might have hit on something there
Happy chickens back laying. Looking like a regular winter with plenty of rain, so the garden will keep the chickens in healthy snacks. Cardoon is good food for us too. #homesteading #permaculture 
This is amazingly brilliant. Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys with the #UNWorldFoodProgramme to the country of Niger in the African Sahel. A barren desert, refugee camp, dependent on food donations, turned into a lush green forest that is now feeding one half million people. An innovative land recovery project within the #GreatGreenWallOfAfrica is harvesting rainwater, increasing food security, & rehabilitating the ecosystem.

Reassuring progress in. The Great Green Wall project across Africa. Spain could learn from this.
Good job! The import worked in that all the posts and pages are listed. I haven't published anything because it says it will publish as Olive Grove Eggs, but as explained in DM I have a second npub
#asknostr what % of BTC in existence is traded to make the $ price?
Trying to explain to no coiner family that most people in normie land are not traders, and ditto, in bitcoin world at least the bitcoin- nostr world that I follow, holding is the dominant "trade"
Even newspapers not funded by billionaires continue to do a disservice to their readers with a perpetually negative spin on BTC.
Determined not to explain the role of volatility in finding a price for new assets.
Never admitting to the root cause of inflation
Forever muddying the waters of the fundamental fact that bitcoin and crypto are not the same.
Emphasis on BTC as the coin of "far right in the West" instead of "the people" worldwide
Refusing to see decentralisation and personal privacy as a good thing
Disgraceful journalism which makes you question their takes on other topics

No, but it's tempting to fall into a fiat mindset and celebrate another landmark endorsing your foresight and bravery while all around are still caught in a system designed to rob them of their energy.
Have some sats and keep stacking, humble one! :)
