Good morning!

Happy Sunday!

Communists don't accept that *some* wealth is a measure of value given to society.

They assume that *all* wealth is stolen justifying stealing it back. They underestimate how much force will be required. In part, because they underestimate how much social resistance they will encounter. If the capitalists can so easily steal, then so can they. But the capitalists are wealthy from free exchange, not theft.

Meanwhile the communists require excessive force to acquire and redistribute wealth.

This is why every communist experiment ends in tyranny.

I'm a commercial pilot with an instrument rating. I know how to fly an airplane.

But there's a really big difference between being a pilot and being a flight instructor. Not only do I need to know how to fly the airplane, I need to know how to teach someone how to fly the airplane. Those are two completely different skills.

I feel that there's an analog when it comes to Bitcoin. I understand enough to stack for myself and my family. But I don't know enough to teach it. To preach it.

And it's also a analog for my Christian faith. I know enough to accept and follow Christ. But not enough to proselytize to others.

I am an ineffective teacher in all three of these areas.

Or maybe that's just what feels good for me not making a greater effort.

GM. Looking forward to my trip to NY and WI next weekend.

"If you don't vote, you can't complain"... Oh really? Not voting invalidates the first amendment?

How about this:, if you do vote, you're responsible for every action of that politician.

I'm just saying don't challenge them.

I didn't used to believe this. And when I first started working out, I continued to not believe it.

But after 10 months or so, it just suddenly turned on such that I can tell when I need a workout.

"Bike privilege can not be revoked"

GOV: hold my beer.

I did this for 2 days. And it's hard to explain how difficult it was. There's a huge number of GA pilots who are in the air helping. And even then there's not enough.

But with that many people flying in the same airspace it becomes a TON of work. And an additional pilot in the airplane is more than just a nice to have. It's really rather important in order to be safe.

I am glad I did this. I'm also glad that I didn't have a second pilot for today.

GM!

Cancelled my trip and heading NC to participate in operation airdrop: flying supplies into parts of NC and TN that are cutoff via road.

They don't take Bitcoin but if you are inclined to donate see:

What part is confusing?

Prayers for victims of Helene.

We are all choosing tons of things of earthly value over Jesus. We all do it. Including and especially me.

Fortunately Jesus plan does not require perfection.
