A no-brainer? Trump holds the record for highest budget deficit in US history and never once ran a surplus. Do you think Harris will run a surplus? 🤔
It's less funny when people realize they also hold a significant amount of bonds through their pension fund.
I gave him a shot and listened when he was in Nashville for #Bitcoin 2024. It was like listening to a postmodern bullshit generator and I'm not repeating that mistake. A total waste of time
Words and hashtags can be filtered client side too, no need to run a relay for that.
nostr:npub1jvyrmymgv8ztemff4mpcfwaquqwfn392ddj4f9zr9e6lp9frds6qjy2yka is joining me today on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 ⚡️
Tom is a climate/energy realist and producer of “Climate: The Movie”
The conversation will be streamed live on #NostrOnly via zap.stream in 2 HOURS (3PM US CST)
Let me know if you have any questions for Tom 👇
Please ask him to respond to this thorough debunk of his quackery. You even have enough time to watch it beforehand! Fix that confirmation bias 😜
I see no need to be rage farmed by dumb articles from 2014. We have better things to do, decentralized the world 🌍
🇷🇺 Putin took the toast with everyone personally at the BRICS summit.
The world is changing, great things are happening. No country will feel the hardship of sanctions anymore.

Throw back to the time when the CPP banned nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 on the grounds of “enabling public opinions, capable of social mobilization”. Damn right it does. 
Wall of Fame material
3.43% of new #Bitcoin will be mounted in the next 4 years.
The remaining 3.43% will be mined in the 112 years after that 🤯
And we have Satoshi himself to blame for it with the first versions being windows only 😅
Well done Sjors!
Just a matter of time before you'll be accused of attacking Bitcoin now 😜
TIL yet another way banks abuse AML "compliance": to get rid of a mortgage and liquidate the house. The bank didn't do their due diligence when accepting the mortgage, which under Dutch law is insufficient grounds for termination.
So they started asking questions about her birth country and her foreign boyfriend, both unrelated the mortgage. And we didn't sufficiently answer those they terminated the mortgage - so unless she wins the upcoming trial she'll be homeless with kids.
Rabobank (through its subsidiary) showing its true nature. These are the people we bailed out with tax payer money.

Wow, 1 of every 6 Rabobank employees works in their "offboarding team" 🤯. Together they ditch 1.3% of their customers every year
Doesn't sound like a sustainable strategy
One recent example: in NL you're now advised against eating *your own chickens eggs* because of pfas levels. PFAS accumulate especially in eggs of free ranging / organic chickens because of the worms, snails and bugs they like to eat, who in turn pick it up from contaminated soil. Because pfas doesn't degrade, the levels only ever go up until we stop producing it
It's difficult to measure these kinds of costs to society, but everyone pays for it one way or another. The profits have been privatized for the select few obviously (3M, Merck, BASF, Bayer, AGC, etc). Short term fiat mindset, further enabled by deregulation
Speaking for myself: yes, I'd probably be unhealthier without a woman in my life! Having children makes you realize your choices affect the health of others too and made me even more aware of the food I buy. We cook fresh almost every single day 😁
But some factors are not up for choice. You can choose to live in Antarctica for example, but even there you'll still get an unhealthy dosis of PFAS from precipitation. Also, here in NL where agriculture is extremely intensive, rural living can be the unhealthy choice because of pesticides exposure, especially where they grow flower bulbs.
Reality is complex
"Persons subject to the obligations of this paragraph benefit from a tax credit..."
What am I missing here? It doesn't sound like "locking the exits". I'm no tax lawyer btw 🤔
I have recently listened to a great episode of nostr:nprofile1qqspnlha0uuujmf07ahc0amz0tnez3dujuwc4v3jq5q9jwd94yfmctcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyee0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uxrvvvv podcast, where he spoke with Daniel Hess (not sure if he is on #nostr) and discussed about fertility - https://fountain.fm/episode/iiY2K9t8Ii58QCnJ1NqU
That summarizes my thoughts about family, woman, what I shared earlier this week.
The decline of global fertility rates is due to:
- Decline in marriage or later marriage
- Decline in religiosity
- Anti-natal attitude
- Living in a dense areas
What we need to do?
Marry early in our 20s, put God as our guiding star, have a strong desire to have bigger families (study Russian word семья, 7 of us), living in ancestor homestead outside of a city.
I haven't listened to the episode, but surprising that established links to environmental pollution don't seem to get a mention. A range of pesticides, chemicals and microplastics have been demonstrated to disrupt the endocrine system and impact fertility and marrying early won't fix that. PFAS accumulate in testes for example and 0.5% of your brain's mass right now is already plastic
Trump handing out peak fiat food to actors. Is this good or bad according to Americans, and why?
Consistency without good choices is meaningless
E.g. consistently buying shitcoins, cheating on your wife, eating crap, voting for corrupt politicians...
