You're not at war until the body bags are starting to return home.

I just spent the last hour explaining that guns literally do nothing without a person operating it. Like if your gun in say in a nightstand of in a closet or gun safe it's not going to fly out and start mag dumping everywhere. It's very dumb that I have to even say that.

SPR exists to be drained in a state of emergency/all out war, not to boost the approval rating of an incumbent administration that tries to keep the gas price low.

China is watching intently (Russia too, naturally) because the strategically weak position the US is in is very much in their interest.

Don't call it WW3 until/if Iran becomes an active player, or PRC goes into a shooting war with Taiwan.

Though considering that the mullahs of Teheran have resorted to taking foreign hostages, thus engaging in actual hostage diplomacy (and this has been kept under weaps by the diplimatic circuit & state department for at least a year), I'm worried that this may not be far off.

And if/when that happens, a blockage of the Strait of Hormuz also has the potential to make the world look very different - not least because Biden has nearly drained the SPR, leacing the US historucally little buffer to ward off crude shortages.

Don't count your chickens until they're hatched, for better or worse.

Rage against the dying of the light (daylight savings time ending)

I'll make a bold prediction: When the Americans attempt to depress the interest rates to (near) zero again in a bid to keep debt servicing managable, will be when the clock o the wall starts ticking loudly.

From there, there may be one shot left at keeping the US federal debt managable, and it's far too early to call what'll happen then - there will be either a return to some measure of monetary sanity (to curtail US military outlays) or a return to the monetary equivalent of IV morphine (continued cash injections to easy the fiscal pain), but no matter what route is taken, the world will look far different as a result of walking either of these parks.

In any case, I'm giving it twelve-fiveteen years, which may be optimistic given that we have a global real estate bubble that's teetering on the edge of bursting (Evergrande and now Country Garden defaults has sent the Chinese gigants into selloff mode in the West which together with the housing affordability crisis is close to sending the market into nosedive), and I have zero belief in the the US major banks have limited exposure to prevent a rerun of 2008, nor the audacity to come, hat in hand, to the treasury to ask for bailouts again, and that needs to be funded somehow.

Whatever the outcome, that all puts us somewhere around 2035-2038 before the house comes tumbling down, at least in the US.

So, I've been job hunting and decided to check out some of the job boards that are specific to digital currencies. It wasn't surprising to see mostly offers for "full stack devs" or "senior devs", but the realization that just scared me is that I have not seen a single posting, on any of the these job boards, for any quality assurance positions.

So, there's a bunch of people making financial software with no dedicated QA staff?

Guess who was in hold all morning with Florida rmv and didn't talk to anyone 🙃

This dude right here did..
