Aquí es cíclico, el problema se repite una y otra vez. El país es hermoso, el único problema son los políticos.

Last saturday I paid this pizza 2700 pesos 🇦🇷

Today I paid it 3900 pesos! 😳

That’s 44% more 😫 #inflation

We are told we need mass surveillance to protect civil rights.

We are told we need censorship to ensure free speech.

We are told we need bank bailouts to rescue the free market.

We are told we need compliance to protect science.

We are told we need rigged elections to save democracy.

We are told we need forever war to secure peace.

Good morning.

I just stepped in a big dog poop barefoot.

The day can only improve from here.

Happy Friday 🤗

best roast of me within 30 minutes gets 200k sats

With sound money 1) you can’t know exactly how rich someone is who doesn’t want to share that information with you voluntarily, 2) you can’t force anyone, rich or poor, to involuntarily pay taxes they don’t want to pay. So how does your system work then, if not he rich your system wants to tax says “no” other than centralizing the power to…oh, Idunno, say 51%, to force them?

Tell me, then what do you have?

That it requires 100% devout socialism to enact any social programs.

It only takes 51% of people to want SOME social programs (roads, sewers, firefighters, education, probably military, maybe healthcare if we’re lucky) and to vote for them. With sound money governments can’t print money (inflation is essentially an invisible tax on the poor and disenfranchised anyway), so the only other option is to enact taxes (ideally on the rich) to pay for the programs.

I’m not talking “socialize all means of production” here.

Hopefully, we’ll have a Bitcoin standard in our lifetime. It’ll be a rough transition and there will be turmoil and upheaval. But when the dust settles, we’ll see if/how people will choose to take care of each other.

I’m an optimist. I think people will choose to take care of each other.
