I dunno ... What if the property crime cost the livelihoods and life savings of millions of people ... *cough* *da FED* *cough* *wallstreet* *cough* ... Excuse me ... What if it was just a mistake?

🤔 I remember their collection being better...

Thank you, Apple, for removing the 3.5 mm jack and staying that terrible trend 🤦

Indeed there is! This get's into my thesis 'On Labor and Trade' in addition to my 'Considering Bitcoin' paper shared elsewhere in this thread.

Christ commands us to love our neighbor, and that command ought to permeate not only our personal but also professional lives, and so includes commerce. Love, if it should exist, must be free, for it is compulsion otherwise. Therefore, commerce in a Christian paradigm must be free, that is at liberty and voluntary.

As for money, it is a representation of the good one does for one's neighbor, and so is in essence information. To create money without work, some benefit to society, is to de facto lie, for possessing money says one has done good when he has not.

https://bitcoinandthebible.com/ might be a good start, but no hand outs per say. Probably could work something up based on their material. I found it very helpful (the podcast).

Ooh! New podcast to binge 🤙

Did you know the Holy Scriptures have more to say about money than almost any other single topic? God is God over not only our Sundays but our weekdays too.

Just added as a comment to my comment

Actually, I wrote one! It's a methodical approach to considering Bitcoin from philosophical, moral, technological, and practical standpoints in a Christian/Catholic worldview.

It has some really good encoding/compression to only be about 1GB/hr for 1080p-24fps video. That's a 500:1 compression versus a raw pixel stream. That's impressive.

... Also, I read 10 years ago and thought "oh, so not too long after it was released on DVD" 🤦 10 years ago was 2013, not early 2000's. Weird 😂

Precisely. Those measuring stations are usually not too inconveniently far from urban areas, airports being a logical place, which are not only not immune to development but actually invite it.
