Who do they sell their beef to? Is it one of the big five Texas Slim talks about? Or is it shipped overseas? Would a statewide strike help bring this issue to the attention of the average consumer?

UK farmers did a weeklong strike to protest the new inheritance tax on farmland. Not to starve anybody, not to create shortages, just to make a little blip in prices so the average person would understand that if we run our farmers out of business, we are in real trouble.

This is a great podcast. You should listen to. Even if you don’t become a regular listener, you should listen to this episode.

This has been my life. I’m 50. Neither of my grandmothers had to work. Not only did a single income provide a similar quality of life that requires two incomes today, but they were able to save enough for retirement. Even leaving a small inheritance. One worked as an electrician the other on a road building crew.

My parents both worked, a factory worker and registered nurse. Mom took a few years off to have kids and went back to work when the youngest started school. They saved and invested. There will be no inheritance when they pass.

My wife and I are both successful business owners. Both of us are booked out quite some time into the future. I have a few employees and we have a few rental properties. The only inheritance they will get are the sats I stack.

Yeah, people still don’t get it. The government can’t control Bitcoin. They can control businesses and some people. But those of us who understand that “You can’t ban Bitcoin, you can only ban yourself from Bitcoin.” Will keep running nodes through VPN’s over TOR on Raspberry Pi’s and we won’t give a shit what the government wants because we have already taken the power back.

Yes, I had a mini-split installed in a three bedroom condo I used to live in and it was a vast improvement over the electric baseboard heaters and window units we were using. 5 years, no problems.

Last summer I installed a three zone Mr. Cool DIY system in a rental property. Definitely the way to go. The whole install only requires simple hand tools. The instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. I’m a little slow as far as speed of construction and I finished the project in about 16 hours of work. Contractor install would cost about $3000 in labor for my area. That puts my dollar per hour at $187.50 and I learned a LOT.

I understand and agree. However, I still bring the single burner with me to make “jerky soup”. Jerky chopped up with anything I can forage. Watercress, pine nuts, etc. A hot meal on a cold morning feels so good 😊

A lot like raising livestock. You deal with lots of poop. But it’s rewarding at the end of the day.

What’s the interest rate on your mortgage? If the interest-rate on your mortgage is lower than the inflation rate, you are arbitrating the dollar. Basically, as the number of dollars it would take to buy your home goes up the value of the money you’re paying on the mortgage goes down.

NOSTR only. Pretty much forever. I hated twitter from the start and never got into it. Same with instagram. The algorithm on TickTock is literally designed to change people’s behavior. I used Facebook to promote my business back in the day. Scrolled for a bit last week for the first time in years and remembered why I left. Strangers on NOSTR are nicer than my “friends” on facebook.

With the exception of marketplace. That gets shit sold!

It was an article that was briefly on coindesk that has since been disappeared from the internet. While not true fractional reserving. Coinbase is allowed by the SEC to “float paper” for short periods when ETFs do their weekly rebalancing. This is why the end of the week, Thursday/Friday has generally shown dips since ETF approval. Thus creating a situation for profit-taking by the big players who arbitrage the price difference. Good old market manipulation.

Do you think the NPCs will ever figure out that Coinbase is re-hypothecating/fractionally reserving the bitcoin they are holding in custody for the ETFs? This makes the ETFs have a lower value than actually holding bitcoin.

I was thinking of how to reply, then you made a note that was the perfect answer. Just swap out the word “America” and “it’s”with “my.”

“I understand that America's greatness depends upon its wisdom, tolerance, compassion, benevolence and for its resolve to settle conflicts and disagreements rationally, fairly, and non violently.”

For me the question is not “do I need another gun” or “do I need a particular gun” but rather “when am I going to get my next gun.”

Regardless of who wins I oppose the outcome of the election.
