Well the dollar milkshake theory says the USD consumes the fiat currency market; starting with little currencies like ARS and TRY, then going to the yen and the euro. The IMF threw their backing behind Javier Milei wanting to dollarize a couple weeks ago; very telling.
A startup is an enterprise that has not yet turned a profit. Businesses also don't turn a profit nowadays, but have figured out how to launder hot-new Fed loans to their shareholders; making them an indispensable part of the "economy".
It's about to get even more colonial up in here!!! Dollar milkshake is about to go down
I stand by my previous statements. Also you are the first person on Nostr that I have seen say: "I am offended by xyz". If nostr has a badge or award to give to people that act like a petulant child I think you would be a winner.
Not a "bro"... I'm a Habanero. Also, you seem to think this whole conversation is about you for some reason... it's a big world out there.
I know. Doctors are merely mindless agents of the insurance companies and hospital hire-ups, you are just following orders.
I think it's spot on... the cost you charge for a medical treatment should roughly equal the value the person receives from it. It's basically "my kingdom for a horse" style pricing.
For tyranny to be efficient it must exist inside your own mind and force you to tyrannise yourself. Externally enforced tyranny is too work extensive to be profitable.
Useful idiots are usually the first in line for the firing squad after the "great resets" of history. They will care soon enough
Sergio Massa, the economic minister and current front runner for president is the communist. He's the guy on the far left (no pun intended) the guy talking in the center is definitely a bitcoiner/ capitalist.
I think differently. I think people don't have kids either because they're poor or because their integrity has been completely eroded by the fiat world (cantillon effect, nihilism, malthusianism, granular polarization,etc), not because lack of pickiness.
In my opinion the way to solve depopulation is to make the procreation process as easy as pushing a button. Every person that participates in the bitcoin standard provides an exponential advantage to everyone else (so pickiness is somewhat hypocritical). The incentives of every person in the planet will therefore align to have kids because nihilism and "economic stupor" are only based on lack of conviction. The nihilist culture will just be dragged by the bitcoin standard.
But, how to make procreation easy? Just by having more and more kids produced.

"People don't have kids because they are poor". Disagree. The "poor" are the most likely to procreate, see Africa or Latin America.
"People don't have kids because their integrity has been eroded" Disagree. Skirting the consequences of sex (bearing children), but instead having sex for pleasure, sport, and profit is a lack of integrity. In fact I can't think of a more of horrific act as dismembering and murdering a baby in the womb; I would say anyone that commits that level of human atrocity lacks integrity.
The simple fact is we are experiencing population decline because women choose to not to have children.
IDK...communism is the greatest and most successful weight-loss scheme ever devised. Sooo, not all bad.
I agree, the ability for females to stop or terminate a pregnancy has been a monumental shift in society.
It doesn't seem like the current arrangement is working as we are achieving poorer outcomes in almost all metrics: birth numbers, healthy marriages, mental health, ect.
Maybe we find a way to correct ourselves, our ideology, our institutions and fix the problems; or we languish in the incentive traps and poor choices of our base human nature.
They like Milei because he is a little crazy; any sane person would be crazy and melting down if they lived under that criminally bad joke of a government in Argentina
It's not a bug... it's a feature. The elites want a class of semi-legal laborers that they can deny rights and export if they act up
So less choosiness and more mating partners lead to population collapse? Please clarify
So these geniuses solicited donations to an account held on an exchange in a 5 Eyes jurisdiction? Did I get that right?
