That's it! Now I know why I never had Covid

In 2021, Elon Musk was perfidiously pumping his $DOGE via Twitter posts, where the people pumped money into the token for every tweet related to his "dogy" in order to catch a wave and make money (this also started the MEME hazard we have in crypto), and at the same time, he was the only one making money, everyone said I was crazy, why would Musk do that, he already has billions. And how do you think he got those billions, with exactly that mindset. Ambition and hunger for money are driving forces that few have and understand, so I already said back then that he has the ambition to become the first $1T net worth person in the world, but also the ruler, not only of the country, but of the entire fucking universe. Aside from Tesla, Starlink, SpaceX, etc. which are okay, and just as many things that are not okay, the fact written above remains.
The fact remains that what these people are doing through crypto is unprecedented. The fact that Trump, the president of the largest country in the world, who was elected to that position by the citizens of the country and trusted to lead the people on a better path with his work, did it with the $TRUMP token three days before the inauguration speaks volumes about what is most important to him, which is personal financial prosperity. That move is a prototype of opportunism, worth writing about. Taking advantage of the opportunity to so easily and naively "shear sheep", and in such a pathetic way, is terrible.
After the famous ball and the announcement about the token, they claimed for several hours that their X profile might have been hacked, and when they saw around noon that things were going really crazy, the Trump family suddenly issued an official statement that the token was legit and was launched by them. The day after, the famous $MELANIA token was released because "as long as (shearing sheep) goes, it goes" so why not. This continuation of the saga alone answers all the questions we need to know about Trump and his motives.
I categorically claim that with that move, Trump "earned" more money for himself and his elite than he could ever make in total with all his (semi)legit businesses, most of which were losing money anyway, with lawsuits worth millions, and all the other "entrepreneurial" folklore. But most important of all in these recent events, all this crypto show is run by one and the same team, which is obsessed with the crypto (financial freedom) scam, through which they extract billions from desperate and money-hungry (greedy) small retail investors who dream that through crypto, they will find a solution to their poverty and the problems that these characters (politicians) have mostly led them into.
And now when I look at Musk on stage and how this "Argentinian", who together with the same team earned/stole in $LIBRA, is not a billion, but it is over $100m, he is giving away a chainsaw with which he saws upside down, supposedly to cut costs to save the people from the (too) expensive state - a reality show at the world level. But best of all, nothing will happen... In America, where no American working in the SEC can do token sale, the president launches a MEME and even later declared "to big, to rig", alluding to the joke that 99% of MEME projects are "next level shit". I won't talk about other political moves, because this is not the topic, and I'm not an expert to talk about it, and I don't want to, because others can.
But - All this is just a prelude to what is yet to come. Neither out of my pocket nor in my pocket, although come on, that MEME fever is something that I think is a tragedy for the crypto industry, although many will say otherwise, but the point of everything is that the world is definitely going into some strange phase, some say a dystopian future where the super-rich will create their own world, rules, and the rest will collect crumbs under a wall, fence or something similar.
I advocate it because capitalism is something we have invented in the "most just" way so far, but unfortunately, law and justice melt in front of a mountain of money like snow at plus 40*C. As in poker, chip leaders are bullies at the table and for a small chip holder without a huge dose of balls and luck, it is impossible to win. Not to mention that big fish eat small fish, which is why we have a few people, mega-companies and entities in general that rule (manipulate) everything.
I would now go on to write about the theory of a "hard cap" on wealth (power) as the only real way out of this shit and the salvation of humanity, similar to the model of sports where "fair play" is essential for competition, where they began to understand that super-rich teams would always win the game, so any competition would become completely irrelevant and uninteresting (no one would pay to watch that), but that's a story for another post about "cruel capitalism".
Until then... study #Bitcoin

Apple has removed hundreds of thousands of apps from the App Store for EU citizens, and Android will have to do the same. Thank you EU bureaucrats for protecting us from services. They have made building a new mobile app a real pain and I believe prices will skyrocket.

The logic of the average progressive:
Greenland in America ❌️
Canada in Europe ✅️
If we have experienced some trauma and been deeply hurt in our lives, that does not give us the right to do the same things to others.
Because what then distinguishes us from the same people who did it to us?
The same is true with accepting the role of victim. Regardless of what has happened to us in our lives, we choose every day how we will react to these events.
Unfortunately, we constantly witness how vicious a cycle it is and how it is only transmitted and spread further.
Of course, it is an extremely painful and difficult process and it is much easier to look for a way out in addictions and inflicting pain on ourselves and others, and to live in pain and self-pity.
Let's be realistic, we have all "damaged" ourselves somewhere during our childhood, growing up, and family and partner relationships.
But that does not give us the right to be bad and corrupt people.
Like the story of the two twin brothers whose father was an alcoholic and abused them, one twin achieved success in his private and professional life, and the other became like a father. They both had the same starting position, but also the right to choose. One chose to work on himself, and the other made excuses.
Each of us must take responsibility for our actions and not look for justifications and excuses for our lives.
Yes, life is often not ideal. And it can be brutal and painful. And someone has an easier starting position, and someone has a harder one.
But it is up to us to use that pain and those lessons to become stronger and better people. And to do our best to, if nothing else, at least not spread evil and injustice further ourselves.
Today, we lack good people more than ever. Therefore, instead of doing harm to others because that makes our situation easier, let's patch up our wounds and help others do the same.
Every day we have a choice. Let's choose to be better people. Every day!
In the last few days, I've been getting ads for the German elections, mostly for the CDU. Oh my goodness! The great leader Merz is in a meeting with important people, he's at a party rally, he's walking down the corridor of some government office/corporation, all in slow motion, and behind him are his smiling followers, he's standing thoughtfully in his office (black and white, because why not?), he's speaking to the crowd, he's leading to a better future...
Yes, you've probably noticed that even in the ad there's nothing about the main problems that are choking both Germany and the rest of the EU, let alone solving some of the problems of average people, from the Taliban invasion to deindustrialization and its consequences.
"Wir sind stolz auf unser schönes Land."
Dude, your country has become a third-world shithole, and you're fantasizing about the beauty of lakes, rivers and old castles.

For at least 10 years, the European Union has shared more values with China than with the US. The Biden administration has tried to bring the US closer to the values of the European Commission and the Chinese Communist Party, but we have seen how that ended. The Americans flatly rejected it...
This is the direction the EU is already heading. Let's not forget, last year the European Commission put a lot of pressure on Google to introduce so-called "fact checkers" on its search engine and YouTube, so that the EC could control speech on their platforms. If Trump had not won the US election, they would probably have gotten it, because no company wants to pay fines in the amount of several billion euros, as Apple recently had to do.
Let's also remember that the European Commission has been "investigating" Musk's social network X for over a year now because he refused to implement censorship as they wanted.
Now tell me, how far is that from what China is doing? American social networks are banned in China. The Chinese use their social media, where political censorship is active non-stop, in much the same way that Factograf was active on Facebook during the journalistic flu pandemic.
Let's be realistic, EU bureaucrats see a role model in the Communist Party of China and everything they have done recently is in that direction. America did not abandon Europe, the opposite happened. European elites abandoned America long ago, alienating themselves from both their own citizens and Western values. China is a completely logical partner for them...

Zelensky is an unsympathetic beggar and a fraud, but he is not to blame for the war. Trump is angry because he refuses to give half of Ukraine's minerals to American industry. This is really unfair to the Americans because they paid hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine, half of which mysteriously disappeared. The Americans deserve something in return. Trump is furious and that's why he's going crazy.
They said the same thing about each package of sanctions, they were equally enthusiastic about each one, and each one was supposed to crush Russia. This is the sixteenth.
Sanctions do not work the way the sanctioners would like them to because economic interests are always stronger than the orders of the commissioner. That's just the way it is, whether anyone likes it or not.
EU bureaucrats are the definition of insanity - repeating the same mistake countless times and expecting a different result each time.

It's nice to see how upset the EU leadership is about the possibility that the war in Ukraine could soon be over.
