It’s all coming together.

The next 12 months will look like a turbo-charged version of the past 24 months.

Having a climate discussion on nostr is like subjecting your brain to slow melting 🫠

Not worth it.

Forget about twenty years from now this is true today

Standardized testing is what happened.

Schools are now teaching to the test instead of testing what is taught.

Growing up I didn’t have any homework during school breaks. Zero tutoring.

Now I see kids with a ton of homework; taking lessons and crap.

What happened? Let the kids play!!!

Illinois school worker has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for stealing $1.5 million worth of chicken wings over the years 👀

If they threaten you with prison, will you keep your numbers secret?

Fiat lets people stay in the realm of rhetoric and never progress past to truth.

Cognitive disingenuous ance

One thing financial analysts tend to discount, is how much fiscal deficits feed into nominal GDP growth. It's a recursive destruction of the denominator that masks the issue.

For example Argentina's deficit as a share of GDP historically hasn't been that big, but that's because their large deficit inflates the denominator and brings nominal GDP up at a fast rate. The deficit relative to the GDP from a year or two ago, was indeed a big ratio, but not the deficit relative to the GDP in the year it happens.

Similarly, some financial analysts looked at the 1940s USA and saw that the Fed's purchases of Treasuries to fund the war deficit weren't that big of a share of GDP in any given yea. But my counter was, nominal GDP increased massively, due to the huge deficits and monetary base expansions. After a few years, the amount of Treasuries the Fed had purchased relative to the GDP of three years ago... was huge.

Simping for politicians is a sign of lesser intellect.

I hEAR you

Search engines are weird.

I just searched on DuckDuckGo for "democracy is not served in a tea cup" which I believe I just made up out of whole cloth but wanted to double check, and all the results are articles on the topic of "Assessing claims about Tim Walz's military service"

First of all, who the fuck is Tim Walz? And second, why are ALL the hits on DuckDuckGo about this strange man? And third, primarily, why do they have anything at all to do with the phrase "democracy is not served in a tea cup"?

I feel like the Internet is just a bunch of propaganda. ALL of the internet now, the whole bloody thing.

I'm going outside to help remember where I am.

Fact | Washington Post proves how stupid it is.
