2 possible huge disappointments on the horizon:

1. Trump loss

2. Bitcoin nukes

Either way it is best not to have expectations.

The Bitcoin incels aren’t funny enough

Not enough passion

Is this against the rules of #coffeechain? Asking for a friend.

The US national debt has increased by $473 billion in the last three weeks.

It currently amounts to 35.8 billion dollars.

That means a debt of $103,700 for every American.

This is unsustainable.

The United States is on the fast lane to bankruptcy.

whats your myers-briggs type? for science.

This is such a childish take, I’m sorry.

Nostr come on, we can do better than this. nostr:note1asz8vfphj2fq4qhdd5mw7jmpv408883jey53jvd8yhqujnk9uwlsm6l0fu

Some good conversations about “progressive” on here again recently.

My biggest hang up with any full libertarian or bitcoin only etc etc arguments are how the vulnerable in society will fair *today*. So folks with disabilities (millions in US), single moms raising kids, the homeless, elderly poor folks, etc.

Now, I’ve worked my whole career in nonprofits working with these types of populations. I’m less focused on where the money is coming from, and more on how we organize support. Most nonprofits in the U.S. are heavily funded via government grants and state/federal line items. Should we move away from this, I’d be 100% ok with this as long as there is still stable funding for folks to access resources they need! I’m a big fan of direct cash support.

P.S - my roles recently have been focused on development efforts for nonprofits. So fundraising and building healthy and sustainable nonprofit organizations.

Anyway, hopefully that clarifies for some folks as well that want to argue/discuss states role. For me that’s less important/interesting, but we still will need avenues for people to get help/have support when they need. What does that look like?

Hello everybody!

TAKO TAKI

Friend of mine is often worried she’ll seem like “the conspiracy theorist” to her friends if she speaks her mind to them. I told her it’s they who should worry about being deemed credulous fools.

It breaks my heart because my Dad is one of the broken. He is planning on getting his covid booster and flu jab this week. Nothing I can say will change his mind.

Sadly, the Cleveland Clinic study that proved the covid jabs are very harmful and make covid worse has been scrubbed from the internet behind paywalls, so all you can find is people supposedly debunking the study. None give any data to back their position, but my Dad doesn't understand anything medical, so he can't see how biased and worthless these "expert" opinions are. My Mom has Lewy Body dementia. It will be very hard on the family if my Dad is disabled or killed by the shots.

I've been off carnivore for the past few months, as I've been cutting for training. That means making different things in the kitchen!

Tuna, avocado, cucumber, & mango roll. How did I do? I'm new to making sushi rolls, so go easy on me. 😂
