Price controls are literally what make it nonexistent. If we don’t understand what is causing our problems and refuse to even point out why things are being destroyed. Nothing gets better. In fact it all just keeps getting worse 🤷🏻‍♂️

Our only options are to have the govt fix it for us, or opt out. I suggest opting out by buying a money they can’t print.

Sir, the "free market" isn't what excluded you, the lying manipulating market run by central banks and giant politically connected corporations that own everything and rent it all back to you is what is "excluding you." then they are buying you off with a pittance on the side and claiming they are helping you.

Check the original post, we have a central bank that issues trillions every year and direct it through a massive financial and corporate apparatus.

Your anger at the "free market" is massively misplaced, because you don't live in one, not even close.

Instead of frequently doing/joining Twitter Spaces, I'm thinking of firing up #Nostr Nests going forward.

A good idea or nah?

Is there significant interest here on #nostr for macro, investing and (obviously) Bitcoin-related discussions?

I'd love to build and share ideas more on #nostr rather than on X.

I posted a bunch of evidence on Twitter for how 1) grocery stores have razor thin margins, 2) food producer margins are more average but haven't changed in two decades, 3) of course farmers aren't the ones getting rich so 4) no, the food companies are not gouging you on prices.

It's monetary inflation. Grocery stores and food producers are trying to keep up.

Most people agree due to the inherent audience selection, but the tweets kind of went viral and reached a broader political audience, so a bunch of people came in like, "How come they can put chips on sale for 50% sometimes!?!? Checkmate Alden." (it's because they don't understand fixed costs vs cost-of-goods sold) or "How do you know any of the filings are real? What if they're literally all just lying on their audited SEC filings?"

Post-truth, some of people are. The grasping for price controls is the short-time public and political instinct that ultimately makes things worse, every time.

Would be great if snowden would first stop supporting genocide because he decided to become famous. Everything else from his is noise

JD Vance throws his bacon grease in the garbage can.

Kids can't consent to tattoos, and they certainly can't consent to mutilation.

In either of those cases, an adult is making the decision for them.
