Great way to #grownostr Zaps>likes.

Hey everyone at the NYT, didn’t anyone tell you that your industry is dying? It’s true, paid shills posing as writers is a dying occupation. Start writing for yourself on NOSTR and start collecting zaps. The good writers will get paid the bad ones will starve. It’s the natural order of things.

Once you get a good pool of them you should post a “best of lib-tard comments” where we vote with zaps.

Where did the money come from?

“The Biden administration has approved the discharge of student loan debt for more than 615,000 borrowers since October 2021 under temporary changes to the public service loan forgiveness (PSLF) program.

The discharged amount totals $42 billion in debt.”

I read, 615,000 votes purchased and $42 billion in inflation added to the dollar.

The MSM reported 20 years ago that “lunchables are the worst thing one can feed their kids.” I guess big food found a way to make it more addictive.

BTW, what are you doing in a Cracker Barrel 😝

Jeffery Epstein blackmailed Bill Gates

WSJ dropped a bombshell this morning with evidence indicating the world’s most famous pedophile extorted money from the world’s richest man.

For those without a subscription to the Journal, here are some highlights:

Jeffrey Epstein discovered that Bill Gates had an affair with a Russian bridge player and later appeared to use his knowledge to threaten one of the world’s richest men, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Microsoft co-founder met the woman around 2010, when she was in her 20s. Epstein met her in 2013 and later paid for her to attend software coding school. In 2017, Epstein emailed Gates and asked to be reimbursed for the cost of the course, according to the people familiar with the matter.

The email came after the convicted sex offender had struggled and failed to convince Gates to participate in a multibillion-dollar charitable fund that Epstein tried to establish with JPMorgan Chase. The implication behind the message, according to people who have viewed it, was that Epstein could reveal the affair if Gates didn’t keep up an association between the two men. . .

Further down in the story:

In addition to the fees, the disgraced financier saw the fund as a way to rehabilitate his reputation, according to people he told of his thinking. It hinged on securing support from Gates, the documents show.

Epstein’s messages, which were peppered with typos and spelling errors, tried to give the impression that he was a close Gates adviser. Gates wasn’t included on emails reviewed by the Journal. The Gates spokeswoman has said Epstein never worked for Gates and misrepresented their ties in communications with JPMorgan and others.

“In essence this [fund] will allow Bill to have access to higher quality people , investment , allocation , governance without upsetting either his marriage or the sensitvites of the current foundation employees,” Epstein wrote on Aug. 16, 2011 to two top JPMorgan executives, Jes Staley and Mary Erdoes.

As a freedom minded individual I can understand your point of view. However, as a small business owner… a bad hire can ruin my business. An employee/employer relationship is based on qualifications and trust. Just like you might not apply to a company that is in bankruptcy, which may not be able to pay your paycheck, an employer needs a little information about you in order to start building trust. You already know the name of the employer, the address, and any information you can find on the Internet about the company. By providing a physical address to the employer, it immediately can verify that you are telling the truth about being in the correct time zone, etc.

One time I asked an interviewee about their employment history and they responded “I refuse to answer that question” which is their right and I didn’t ask again. But I’m not going to hire anyone that I can’t verify didn’t fly planes for Jeffery Epstein. Get my point?

A little hack I used to use, get a PO Box and provide the address of the Post Office, then list the box number as a unit number. For example, if the post office is located at 123 Easy St. and your box number is 456 then list your address as 123 Easy St. Apt. 456. Maintain your privacy, but give a little something to start building trust.

What does this mean in plain English?

Here’s some pictures from when I hiked to Weaver Lake in the Sequoia National Forest in 2019. The forest is “managed by the state of California” as noted on the sign at the entrance to the park. There was cut timber everywhere. I could could even see some plastic wedges left behind in a standing dead tree. The pictures cover the few mile hike and are in different locations. I included a picture of the lake to verify location. That place is so gonna burn down one day.

I live in a rural area and I sell mine to a local market for $2 a quart. They sell them for $4 a quart. Walmart (half an hour away) sells them for $5 a quart. I help create and maintain a circular local economy.
